The Gun Dog Pet Doors Series offers unparalleled versatility and durability for pet owners seeking reliable solutions for their pets' access needs. Whether you're looking for a guillotine-style door for kennels or a heavy-duty option for large, active dogs, this series has you covered. All Gun Dog Doors are made in the USA.
Heavy Duty Spring Hinges:
The Heavy Duty Gun Dog Pet Door is engineered for durability and convenience, catering to dogs ranging from 20 to 120 pounds. This robust door features a unique two-way design with a frame constructed from aluminum and a ¼” clear acrylic panel that is chew-proof, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Equipped with heavy-duty spring hinges, this pet door is both weather-tight and energy-efficient, designed to withstand extreme conditions while offering a comfortable transition for your pet. Installation is simplified with only two screw needed.
Free Swing Door:
The Free Swing Gun Dog Pet Door caters to dogs up to 120 lbs, providing an ideal solution for pets that are timid or have arthritis, thanks to its no spring-hinge, free-swinging flap design for effortless entry and exit. This door features a lightweight aluminum frame and a ¼” polycarbonate chew-proof panel, ensuring durability and longevity.
The door's weighted closure ensures the door self-shuts after use, maintaining a barrier against elements, though it is engineered for mild climates and not fully weatherproof. Installation is made easy with only four screws required.
Guillotine Door:
The Guillotine Gun Dog Pet Door offers a seamless solution for controlling your pet's access in colder, northern climates or for setups requiring additional height above the dog door. These doors feature a durable aluminum frame and a frosted 3/8" thick polypropylene panel, ensuring robustness and longevity.
The small door accommodates spaces with an opening requirement of 9.5" x 16", the medium/large fits openings of 12.5" x 17.5", and the extra-large suits openings of 16.5" x 27", making them versatile for a variety of kennel sizes.
Installation is straightforward, using 8 screws to secure the metal channels, after which the guillotine panel slides down to block access as needed. Although the cable and pulley system is not included, the design allows for easy operation without entering the kennel, perfect for multi-dog facilities.
Features:
- Engineered to endure severe climates and energetic pets, our doors feature brushed aluminum frames and 1/4" thick acrylic flaps.
- Can be installed in a wide range of materials, offering high wind resistance and average insulation value for enhanced comfort.
