Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog and cat food, health, gear and grooming we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

["Unlike most doors in this lineup that mount into an existing door, PetSafe's Never Rust Wall Entry door is designed to be installed directly into an exterior wall, with a telescoping frame that adjusts to fit walls between 4.75 and 7.25 inches thick. PetSafe markets the material as insulating better than metal and more energy efficient than a typical cut-in door.", "The kit includes a full set of hardware for the job, drywall screws, screw caps, toggle bolts, washers, a center locator, closing panel, template, and manual, so it's meant as a complete wall installation rather than a simple insert. The flap is rated for pets up to 100 pounds and uses a straightforward flap closure.", "At $139.95 it's one of the pricier doors in this set, but it also has the strongest track record by far, with 9,183 reviews, a 4.6 star average, and around 500 units bought in the past month."]

Performance notes

Because this is a wall entry design rather than a door insert, the 4.75 to 7.25 inch thickness range refers to wall depth, and the included hardware, drywall screws, toggle bolts, and a template, points to a more involved but complete installation process. PetSafe's energy efficiency and insulation claims are tied to the wall mounting itself rather than the flap material.
