Dog Door Flaps tear almost every year on Giant Door Size
Happy that they have a warranty program for replacement flaps but they are still expensive for the Giant flaps when I need to replace them almost every year. We have had several Hale doors in various homes and with different sized dogs. The Giant flaps tear at the top corner. Hale customer service is aware of this problem. Initially, the rep was sure my Danes were too tall. We installed this Giant door in this home about 5 inches from the floor. So, the Danes are actually 3-4" shorter than the top of the door flap. With that, they agreed the door is the appropriate size. And, they have no fix for the flaps tearing except for me to purchase new flaps almost every year under the warranty which eventually will be full price. **2016--The original installer is coming over to install the replacement flaps and he suggested rounding out the corners of the metal edge at the top where the flaps attach. We are hoping this will solve the problem.
