Questions

How do I measure my old flap to order the right replacement size?

Measure the flap panel itself, not the hole it covers and not the outside of the frame. Take the width across the flap at its widest point, then the height from the top edge, including the section that sits under the retainer, down to the bottom edge.

Then count the holes along the top edge and measure the distance between the centers of the two outermost holes. Flap dimensions repeat across brands but hole patterns do not, so that spacing is usually what tells us which flap is actually yours. The size guide on the product page lists the flap dimensions for each size we carry, so you can check your measurements against it before ordering.

Can I buy just one flap for a double flap pet door?

Yes. On a double flap door the two flaps are separate parts, so you can replace one and leave the other in place. That is common, because the exterior flap takes the weather and the UV and usually wears out first.

Order the same size as your door and tell us which side you need if the two differ. If both flaps are the same age it is worth replacing them together. A new flap sits against the frame more tightly than a relaxed older one, and mixing the two can leave the seal uneven.

Does a replacement flap come with magnets and hardware, or just the flap?

Our replacement flap kits arrive ready to install. The flap ships with the parts needed to fit it to your door, so you are not sourcing magnets, rivets or retaining strips separately.

If you would like to add extra magnets for a firmer close, those are available separately as well.

Restore Performance Without Replacing the Frame
Over time, even a well built pet door can lose efficiency as the flap becomes worn, stiff, or warped. Replacing the vinyl panel restores the original seal and helps maintain the comfort of your home without the expense of a full door replacement.

Clear Visibility with Magnetic Closure
This flap is formed from clear, flexible vinyl that allows pets to see through the opening while still providing structure and durability. The integrated magnetic strip along the bottom edge helps the flap settle back into place after each use, supporting a tighter seal against everyday drafts.

Installs Using Existing Hardware
Installation keeps the existing door frame intact. The flap mounts into the original top bar channel and fastens using the same screw pattern, so the surrounding structure of your door remains undisturbed. For most households, the swap takes only a few minutes using standard tools.

Confirming the Correct Size
Sizing can be confirmed by the engraved flap size above the magnetic bar or by counting the mounting holes along the top edge. If your Extra Large flap is embossed with slightly different dimensions, the current replacement size remains compatible per manufacturer guidance.

  • Small (S): 3 holes, 5" w x 9" h
  • Medium (M): 4 holes, 7 1/4" w x 13" h
  • Extra Large (XL): 4 holes, 9 3/4" w x 17" h
  • Super Large (SL/XXL): 6 holes, 15" w x 23 1/2" h

Model Compatibility Clarity
This replacement is intended specifically for Ideal Ruff Weather and Protector pet doors, also sold under the Perfect Pet Products name. For other models, materials, or door types, explore our complete selection of replacement flaps and parts to ensure an exact match.

Please Note: Your extra large flap may have the dimensions of 10  1/2" x 17" embossed on the flap. However, the manufacturer has guaranteed that this 9 3/4" x 17" replacement flap will work, regardless of what dimensions are marked on the flap. Additionally, the Ideal Pet Products brand is also sold under the name Perfect Pet Products. Ideal pet door replacement parts will work for Perfect Pet dog doors.
