Is this replacement flap a lighter plastic than the extreme weather door. The extreme door is too heavy for my 5 lb dog to push it open. I need something lighter but not the screen flap. A light plastic?

The plastic is not that thick but it's the magnet that makes it difficult so it's hard to say whether your dog would be able to push it open.

I ended up returning my extra-large door because it was too big. I ended up getting a med. One with a hard plastic swinging door. It seems to close out most of the elements except when the wind blows it open.i wish there were a double door.

I don't recall our original canopy being any heavier than our replacement. It was certainly a smaller size and we had a terrible time putting it on. Perhaps they have started using thinner material to cut costs. I would check them the place you ordered from.

I had a difficult time installing it on my screen door since I have "pet screen" which is thicker than regular screen, so I needed to return it. It is made out of hard plastic. If you ordered the small size and you have a sturdy cat, I think they could push it open.

My frame is metal, as is the strip that holds the flap in place. My suggestion is to 1st ask the manufacturer what they've got. If they're no help solicit friends, etal who are handy and ask for assistance to make a replacement . . . a fairly simple form with drilled holes thru so current screws can fasten the flap. Be sure to fill the old screw holes with wooden matchstick ends to provide more 'bite' for the screws when reattaching the new strip.

To order the Middle Yellow flap you need to order the one for the Extreme Weather Pet Door. That flap will cost $10.00 or less depending on where you order it from. It is on www.petsafe.net for $9.95. I hope this helps.

No it's just the flap. The plastic piece comes with the entire door replacement .

My dog door only had 1 flap, and the replacement only had one flap. Actually, it's the flap that I replaced. The other piece was the plastic insert that you put in at night, and did not come with the replacement flap.

I have zero temps where I live and it has kept out the cold. Where I live can also be very windy and I have noticed that some gusts can blow the flaps a little bit. The bottom of the flaps have metal and they close by magnets on the bottom of the door opening I have noticed that dirt and/or grit can get under the magnets and that can cause them to not go up and down to grab the bottom of the flaps. I have had to vacuum it to get the dirt/grit and that takes care of the problem.

I don't know Patricia. I had an outside cat patio and cat walk installed and we put the cat door in a special screen made with wood framing around it. Also, the plastic door is kind of heavy & my cat's not thrilled with it. It works, but it's not what I thought it would be. I'm sorry........

Dear Rick So sorry to tell you this, but whatever you do, it won't work. They keep changing their sizes in this company. Go to the local pet store and buy this where you can measure it, and then return if it doesn't fit. We're going to have to buy a WHOLE NEW DOOR to use the one we got on line. Get my drift? This is not the best way to buy a replacement flap. You'll probably be sorry. Good luck!

plastic i love this. my dog is spoiled and won't get her feet wet. since it has 2 doors one on each side, she goes thru her 3 doggie doors and than goes in there does what she needs to and it is easy to clean inside. one of the greatest things i could have purchased. dealing with amazon is the greatest place to purchase things. they stand behind all.hope this helps.

Hi patti, your door should have come with a panel that you can slide over the flap to seal it off from both inside and outside ,if you bought an ideal pet product door, they may have neglected to put it in the box, I have had some issues with ideal, hope this helps

I live in Los Angeles so I can't possibly give you feed back that would be from comparable conditions. I don't see however, what else can you make or do to make a door accessible for a dog and insulate any better. The two plastic flaps are made of what seems quite durable and definitely generously thick plastic. They have magnetic metal strips along the bottom side which immediately flap back to the frame, after the dog goes through, to enclose the opening. Very happy with the product. 5 stars.

I did not weigh the item but it is high quality and not plastic. My particular grill allows any cover that's not held on to blow off. But that could be due to where the grill sits and the way the wind blows between the houses. I've attached small C clamps to each end of the cover and used a bungee cord across the underside. My cover now stays on in the strongest wind. But I would buy this one again the next time I need to replace it which won't be for several years based on the last one that was identical. And the cost was as low or lower as the cheaply made plastic ones.
