Pride Pet Door Replacement Flap Identifying Information
Pride flaps consist of two parts: A rectangular central flap and a 'U' shaped piece that overlaps the flap and the frame on one side. When the pet pushes in one direction both parts swing away. In the other direction, only the central section swings. This design is the same as the Johnson Pet Door flap design and the two are inter-changeable (see notes below).
Pride locking covers are fiberboard with one side painted bright white. This very visible color alerts the pet that the door is locked. It may be mounted on either side of the pet door.
Pride pet doors have these manufacturer numbers on a label on the frame: Small SD300, Medium MD400, Large LD500 and XLarge XLD600.
Flap dimensions shows are inside the 'U' shaped gasket.
We're measuring inside the 'U' shape. So long as the label matches the manufacturer part number, don't worry if your measurement is slightly different.
Since Johnson Pet Door flaps have been discontinued by the manufacturer, many Johnson owners have successfully substituted Pride Pet Products flaps. The Pride flaps do fit the Johnson pet doors and are the same two-part design. However, please note these important differences:
- Pride flaps are black rubber rather than tinted vinyl. Because your pet cannot see through the Pride flap as he could with the Johnson flap it is vital that you not permit him to try to race through the Pride flap with the Johnson locking cover in place. He could be seriously injured!
- There was a razor slit at the top of the Johnson U-Shaped Gasket piece which allowed it to be pulled free should the dog become entangled in it. Pride flaps to not have this safety feature.
- Both Johnson pet doors and Pride pet doors rely on the center flap and U-shaped piece to fit flat against each other. On the large size, the Johnson had a magnet placed half-way up both sides to help maintain this seal. The Pride flap does not have this magnet.
- We have had a large number of returns of the Small size which seems to indicate that the Small Pride Flaps is not such a good fit as the other sizes.
