Baboni Pet Door for Wall, Steel Frame and Telescoping Tunnel, Aluminum Lock, Double Flap Dog Door and Cat Door, Strong and Durable (Pets Up to 12 Lb) -Small

The Baboni 3-Flap Through-the-Wall Pet Door is well constructed and fairly easy to install (if you have all the necessary tools). Our only issue required us to have an electrician move a wall outlet because of where we HAD to install the pet door. This wasn't Baboni's fault. It would have been an issue with any seller's door. Now installed, the Baboni is working just as intended. It's hot here right now in Texas and the 3rd flap (for insulation) seems to be working great at keeping the heat outside. And our Husky has proudly figured out how to go outside and come back in on his own (after a few "training" coaxes from us). I would definitely buy this brand again.

Installed this during the winter (in Idaho). What a fantastic door. It can be snowing and 10 degrees outside and you can be 5 feet from the door on the inside and you don’t feel a thing. That said, I have it going into a small outdoor kennel with plastic sheeting attached to keep the wind, rain and snow off the dog when she’d rather be cooler than we have it in the house. This is an incredibly well built door and would definitely buy it again if I ever need another one. The design and three doors do what they claim and work really well.I bought the largest size (3 flap XL) for our 140lb female Newfoundland. Sized just right.

We bought this for our dog and LOVE it. The item itself is great and the install instructions were easy to use. We installed it on an outside door and I don’t ever feel any cold air coming in when I walk by it. It took about two months but now my dog goes in and out on her own and it’s life changing!!

I was scared to order an in-wall dog door because I would have to install, but after finding the Baboni in-wall dog door and reading reviews I decided to take a chance. Wow, I'm glad I did! This was dog door was so easy to install and our 3 pups have all learned to use it after just a few days. It's sturdy, didn't require any extra framing, and it will allow our dogs freedom to go in and out without us having to get up and open the back door OR, as we were doing, keeping the back door propped open to the detriment of our electric bill! The metal cover is easily propped up during the day and closed tight at night so I don't worry about it being a break-in point. My wife is as happy as our pups! I've already bought replacement flaps for the future because I plan to keep it for many years and I'm happy to have it as a part of our home.

This git right into the hole I had already and with just a little modification I was able to fit it through my rock exterior. Great door

I had been buying the plastic brand dog door for about 13 years now and in that time I had to replace the entire thing 4 times as well as replace the flaps, which seemed to warp or tear in no time at all, just about every year and at times twice a year which always annoyed me. Now granted I have always had big dogs, along with my now 15 year old Chi, but it was a “large” size dog door so I expected it to hold up to said large size dogs. So when the plastic frame broke yet again this time around I happened to come across this one and decided to give it a shot after reading all the positive reviews and especially because it’s metal and not plastic.I can’t comment much on the installation as we already had the hole for the tunnel to go through the wall which is the most difficult part of the install imo and exactly why I had a contractor do it 13 years ago when the first one was installed. Also, because my own personal handyman hubby is excellent in just about every department, but not so much when it comes to drywall/woodworking stuff.Another plus for me is that this dog door is the same size as the old plastic one which made choosing it that much easier. It’s almost as if they knew I would be fed up with replacing the plastic one 😄That being said the rest of the install wasn’t very difficult at all. I took tips from other reviewers about using longer screws for added stability as we already had it framed out with 2x4’s and had reinforced underneath the tunnel since at the time we installed the first through wall dog door we had Kane dog who was a 105 lb Bully rescue that we sadly lost to cancer 2 years ago and who I miss him every single day even though we have since welcomed two new rescues into our lives. We now have a 95 lb Great Pyrenees/Bully mix and a 55 lb Belgian Malinois/Staffordshire mix who will be putting this large dog door to the test. We also put insulation all around the tunnel, added good quality expandable weatherstripping and of course put a good sealant around the edges of the exterior side which is against vinyl siding. Also, the flaps feel thicker and heavier as well as have a stronger magnetic closure so hopefully I won’t be replacing them every year, but time will tell on that and I will be sure to update if it’s even remotely like the old ones.I haven’t had it long enough to comment on the stability of it, again time will tell, but at least I no longer have to worry about the frame cracking and breaking which leaves me very hopeful.It also wouldn’t be fair for me to speak of the energy efficiency yet because I rarely close the doors and my basement is not well insulated so it’s always cold on the unfinished side where the dog door is, but I will come back and update my review later as I am planning on using the doors now since the dogs aren’t going out as often with winter here and being forced to have unhappy walks in the freezing rain. Such pampered pups! I also purchased a second door so I could close off both sides which I think will help greatly with the efficiency, especially overnight. These metal doors are WAY better than the plastic one that came with the old dog door and have a far superior locking mechanism. Not that it would prevent someone from kicking them in if they so dared, I don’t believe any through wall dog door systems are tough enough to withstand that, but that’s when the actual dogs would come in handy. I always put something very heavy like a refrigerator (no joke) which is not easily moved through that small of a space in front of the door when the dogs go on vacation with us and I’ve never had a problem, even with the plastic door.Overall I am very happy with the switch and feel this through wall dog door system will hold up much better than the plastic brand I spent so much money on since having it and therefore I feel my purchase was well spent especially during these difficult times where most of us, at least I am, are spending less on nonessential items. I highly recommend it!

We installed this near our back door. And it’s perfect size for our 2 dogs. It was actually pretty simple to install. And the magnets on the flaps keep it closed very well. I love the quality and the metal slide door that locks it is very secure. Nice purchase.

It took a bit for my contractor to install this through sheetrock, etc., but it's connecting my home to the catio on my back deck; priceless! And it looks great too!
