Product Details


The Gun Dog Pet Door Series redefines access solutions for pets, blending unparalleled versatility and durability. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this series caters to a broad spectrum of needs, from guillotine-style doors for kennels to robust options for large, active pets.

Heavy Duty Spring Hinges:

Crafted for durability and ease of use, the Heavy Duty Gun Dog Pet Door accommodates dogs weighing 20 to 120 pounds. It boasts a two-way design, featuring an aluminum frame and a chew-proof ¼” clear acrylic panel for enduring reliability.

The inclusion of heavy-duty spring hinges ensures the door is both secure against the weather and energy-efficient, standing up to harsh conditions. Its installation process is streamlined, requiring just two screws.

Free Swing Door:

The Free Swing Gun Dog Pet Door is tailored for dogs up to 120 lbs and is especially suited for those that are timid or suffer from arthritis. Its hinge-free, free-swinging flap design facilitates easy movement.

Constructed with a lightweight aluminum frame and a chew-proof ¼” polycarbonate panel, it combines durability with ease of use. The door features a weighted closure for self-shutting after use, designed for milder climates. Installation is simplified, needing only four screws.

Optimized for colder climates or where additional clearance is needed above the door, the Guillotine Gun Dog Pet Door integrates a sturdy aluminum frame with a frosted 3/8" thick polypropylene panel for long-lasting performance.

This door variant is adaptable, fitting small (9.5" x 16"), medium/large (12.5" x 17.5"), and extra-large (16.5" x 27") openings, catering to various kennel sizes.

Do you know how to make a guillotine dog door pulley system?

You would have to purchase the hardware locally, but the Gun Dog Guillotine Dog Door would require drilling a hole in the closing panel and attaching the cable.
