Johnson replacement flaps were originally manufactured by Johnson Pet Dor company. Here's some
historical information that you may find useful in identifying your
Johnson flap.
Johnson
flaps
are two piece construction: a center flap with U-shaped
'gasket' piece both constructed of clear, tinted, flexible vinyl.
Tinting has varied in density over the years. This design, which was
apparently intended to seal well, has led to some confusion on the part of
customers attempting to replace their flaps. Some measure inside (the
opening available to the pet) and others measure the full outside dimension.
Both are presented below for convenience.
Magnets are embedded in the flap corresponding to
iron 'keepers' glued to the aluminum or plastic frame.
Johnson sizes have size notations, S-2, M-2, L-2
or XL-4, embossed on the
flap. We have seen some exceptions to this, however. Some flaps have
nothing on them.
Measurements given below include the
'U' shaped gasket piece. However, this dimension is larger than
'flap dimension' shown on the product pages since they give the more
conservative dimension inside the 'U' shape. |
