FAQs

How do I choose the right size door for my pet?

Please feel free to use the Pet Door Sizing Tool on many of our product pages as a guide. Remember that you want to select a pet door that will clear the tallest pet's shoulders by 1.5-2"...and have a low enough step over rise to allow for easy navigation given the pets breed, age and mobility now and in the future.

The sizing tool below is a good starting point for determining the best size dog door for your pet. These are only recommendations; you know your pet best. Certain factors may alter these recommendations such as step-down distance to outside ground level, multiple pet use and thickness of wall.

Do I need a Single Or Dual Flap Model?

Most customers select the dual flap model if the dog door leads directly to the outside or to an unheated garage. The dual flap version will provide superior insulation, while the single flap is used for very temperate climates, going from one room to another within the house or if from porches and lanais to the outside.

Remember, a dog door is an open access to the outdoors, you may be rest easier with the seal and barrier of a dual flap model.

Do Smaller pets, like cats, have any problems using larger pet door sizes?

We have numerous customers who have multiple pets. Even the largest, Behemoth, size can be used by the household cat. You will notice that while dogs go head first through the doggie door flaps, cats will use their paws to gently push the corner of the flap.

Maintenance

MAINTAINENCE:
Replacement rivets have been included with your hardware kit should the ones on the MaxSeal Insulated Security panel work loose. Install by pressing the two pieces together from opposite sides of the panel in the pre-drilled holes. The Thumbscrews that attach the flaps are factory tightened. Through use, the thumbscrews occasionally loosen and therefore should be checked regularly for tightness. Retighten the thumbscrews using the included Allen wrench.

The magnets on all MaxSeal doors are adjustable. This allows a precise seal no matter the weather or size of the flap throughout the years. The magnets are positioned in the frame with a pressure fit. The Magnet is held by an aluminum carrier that can slide in and out of the painted frame rail. The best way to lift the magnet is by using pliers to lift the magnet out of the frame rail.

BE SURE TO COVER THE MAGNET AND CARRIER WITH A TOWEL TO PREVENT SCRATCHING OF THE FRAME AND CARRIER. Only lift the magnet the minimum required to make the magnet touch the strike plate on the flap. If the Magnet Carrier becomes loose within the frame after adjustment, simply pry the two legs of the magnet apart and reinsert into the frame rail.

 The magnets are adjusted correctly when there is zero airspace between the magnet and the strike plate. Once the magnets are positioned properly, your replacement flaps is installed.
