How to Replace a PetSafe Double Door Flap

PetSafe pet doors provide a way for dogs and cats to move freely in and out of your home without you having to open and close the door for them. A hole cut in the bottom of the door allows the PetSafe door to fit in the door. Plastic flaps in the door allow your pets to push through to enter the house, while maintaining a weather-resistant seal when closed. While PetSafe door flaps are durable, over time they may wear out and need to be replaced. Replacing the flaps takes just a few minutes.
