I am replacing an exterior double patio door with a single door. I would like to install a thru the wall dog door for my 80lb German shepherd at the same time. As usual reviews on Amazon are all over the place on dog doors. Pricing is also all over from about $100 to over $800. Temperatures in my area ranges from over 100 degrees Fahrenheit to below zero Fahrenheit. The door will be in my bedroom so a door that doesn't leak will be needed.
Does anyone have any dog door experience they would like to share? Good or bad doors?
After going through all the reviews and all the different prices I am half tempted to get some acrylic or polycarbonate and make my own dog door. Has anyone made their own?
Right now this is the dog door that sounds best:
A collar activated lock or anything like that is not needed.
