baboni PD-2-L Large Dog Door, 3-Flap Metal Frame with Magnetic Closure

Built with a metal frame, the baboni PD-2-L is a large pet door designed for interior and exterior doors. Its three-flap setup combines two magnetic vinyl flaps with an insulated center flap, creating a passage for pets while helping reduce drafts. A sliding metal panel lets you close the opening when you want to restrict access.

The telescoping tunnel fits doors from 1 3/8 to 2 inches thick, making it suitable for many standard interior and exterior door installations.

Key points

This dog door is rated for pets up to 100 pounds and has a flap opening measuring 10 1/4 inches wide by 16 1/4 inches high. The three-flap arrangement gives pets a way to move between indoors and outdoors for potty breaks or play, without needing someone to open the door each time. For households weighing a basic single-flap design against a more layered opening, the extra insulated flap and magnetic closures are useful distinctions.

The frame and tunnel are made of metal, with an aluminum locking edge and a metal closing panel. The panel slides into place to block the opening when needed. For installation, a cutout template and step-by-step instructions are included, helping guide the door cut and assembly. The required door cutout measures 11 1/8 inches wide by 17 1/2 inches high.

Buyers often praise the sturdy construction, straightforward installation, and the three-flap design’s insulation. Feedback on closure is mixed: some find the magnets hold the flaps in place, while others report that the flaps do not always close tightly or can catch on opposing magnets. That feedback can help set expectations for a layered, magnetic flap system.

Size & fit

The large opening is intended for larger pets, with a maximum stated weight capacity of 100 pounds. The flap opening measures 10 1/4 by 16 1/4 inches, while the outer frame measures 14 1/4 by 21 1/16 inches. Plan the installation around the cutout dimensions of 11 1/8 by 17 1/2 inches and the door’s thickness, the telescoping tunnel accommodates doors from 1 3/8 to 2 inches thick.

These measurements are practical reference points when choosing a pet door for an existing doorway. Buyers differ on whether the large size suits their dog, so compare the opening dimensions with your pet’s build and the available door space before installation. The stated pet types are cats and dogs.

Who it’s for

The PD-2-L is suited to households that want pets to move through an interior or exterior door independently, particularly for regular outdoor access. Its three flaps, magnetic closure, insulated middle layer, and sliding panel offer more than an open passage: the flap arrangement helps limit drafts, while the panel provides a way to close the door when access is not wanted.

It also suits buyers looking for a metal-framed option with a guided installation process. In a practical setup, the door can give a dog access to a yard during the day while the closing panel lets the household restrict the opening later.

Should you buy it?

Choose the baboni PD-2-L if you need a large pet door for a door between 1 3/8 and 2 inches thick and value a three-flap design, metal construction, and a separate sliding closure panel. Its defined opening and cutout dimensions make it easier to assess fit for your doorway, while the magnetic flaps support everyday passage for a pet. It is a particularly relevant choice for homes where independent indoor-outdoor access and help against drafts are both priorities.
