Overview
An aluminum-framed pet door built for exterior installation, rated for large dogs up to 100 lbs and fitting doors between 1.5 and 2 inches thick. Three stacked flaps and a magnetic closing panel handle weather sealing.

- Three flap insulated design
- Includes cutting template and mounting hardware
