The Ideal "Ruff Weather Protector Series"
is identical to the original "Ruff Weather" except that it includes a special alarm that sounds whenever the locking cover is unintentionally removed.
We think this alarm idea will be useful for those who would like to be alerted any time the locking cover is being removed when it shouldn't be.
Otherwise, this product is identical to the original Ruff Weather pet door--one of our best selling items. Please see that page for additional information.
Replacement flaps and wall kits are exactly the same as for the "Ruff Weather".
