Pet door question...

[kristilew]

I can't believe I'm giving it this much consideration, but since I am, why not ask for input

I have had two of the Petsafe Easyfit pet doors for about five years. With two very active terriers, I have to replace the flaps about once a year. When I went to buy replacement flaps this time, I found that now you can only get those flaps online, as Petsafe has come out with a new line of doors - the Freedom door. It looks basically the same, but slightly different dimensions, so the flaps aren't compatible.

So my question is this: does anyone have the newer doors, and if so, are the flaps any sturdier?

I'm wondering if I should just buy all new doors at this point, which would be about $20 more per door initially, but if I don't have to keep replacing flaps, would be cheaper in the long run.

This thought has been sparked by reviews on Amazon stating how quickly the Easyfit flaps wear out, which I had always attributed to my dogs, not the flaps.

Input, advice, anyone?

We just replaced our doggy door. I am not sure what brand though. It had to be pretty big to let our 80 pound freddy fit through.

But the flap on this model does not seal nearly as well. We have it installed in the bottom wood part of the screen door. and we leave the main (back) door open a crack. But now the wind is blowing in all the time.

I am not happy with it at all, but it is silicone sealed to the door so It would be a real pain to remove and replace...
