The Flaps on My PetSafe® Panel Pet Door Insert™ Are Tearing or Stretching

Important Information

Replacement flaps for the PetSafe® Panel Pet Door Insert™ can be purchased on PetSafe.com.

Tearing or stretching of the flap’s mounting holes is usually caused by the mounting hinge and flap not being installed properly or the door rise being too short for your pet.

Ensure the flaps are installed properly in the hinges. Each flap should be sandwiched in its own black hinge and secured in place with 5 screws.
