Overview
The PetSafe Freedom Aluminum Pet Door is a flap-style door with an aluminum frame, sized Large, and rated for pets up to 220 lbs and wall or door thickness between 0.38 and 2 inches.
Despite the category label of Dog Gates in this listing, the product itself is a walk-through pet door, not a gate or barrier. It uses a magnetic flap closure and comes with a closing panel that can seal the opening off entirely. The kit ships with the door frame, nylon screws and screw sleeves, an installation template and guide, so it's meant for mounting into a door or wall rather than as a freestanding gate.
- Aluminum frame, Large size
- Magnetic flap closure
- Fits 0.38 to 2 inch thick doors
- Includes sealing closing panel
Who it's for
Households installing a permanent pet door for dogs or cats in the small-through-extra-large size range, mounted through a door or wall of typical thickness. Not the right choice for anyone looking for a pet gate to block off a room.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Rated for pets up to 220 lbs
- Magnetic flap reduces drafts
- Includes a closing panel to seal the opening
- One-year manufacturer warranty
- Listed under a misleading Dog Gates category, so confirm it's a door before buying

Performance notes
The magnetic flap closure is meant to keep the door shut against wind and reduce drafts when not in use, and the aluminum frame handles openings from about 0.38 inch up to 2 inches thick. The included closing panel lets owners fully block the opening when the door isn't needed, useful for households that only want pet access part of the day.
