This all-weather doggie door is designed to fit doors with a thickness between 3/4" and 1 3/4", making it suitable for a wide range of homes.

Magnetic strips on the bottom of the flaps keep them securely closed when not in use, preventing drafts and ensuring energy efficiency. The tinted flaps protect against sun warping, preserving their durability and appearance over time. For those who prefer a wall installation, a separate wall installation kit is available for purchase, allowing you to install the Ruff Weather Dog Door in 2" x 4" or 2" x 6" stud walls.
