Baboni Wall-Mounted Pet Door, X-Large

When a dog or cat needs to go outside for a potty break or a little time to play, a wall-mounted pet door can give them a way through without waiting for someone to open the door.

The Baboni X-Large pet door is designed for installation in interior or exterior walls, with a telescoping tunnel for a stated range of wall thicknesses.

Its double flaps and metal frame are aimed at households looking for a sturdier alternative to a basic single-flap pet door.

Highlights

The flap opening measures 13 19/64 inches wide by 23 19/32 inches high. The listed wall cutout is 14 9/16 inches wide by 25 inches high, so these measurements matter before choosing a spot and starting the installation. The frame measures 17 11/16 inches wide by 28 13/32 inches high.

The telescoping tunnel fits walls from 4 3/4 to 7 1/4 inches thick. The listing says the door is for pets up to 220 lb, but the opening dimensions are still worth comparing with your pet’s size and movement through a flap. A weight limit alone doesn’t tell you whether the opening will feel comfortable.

The frame is described as steel and aluminum alloy, with an aluminum lock named in the product title. Two flaps are intended to help limit drafts and provide weather protection. That’s a more weather-conscious setup than a simple single flap, though the listing doesn’t give a quantified insulation or weather rating.

How to use it

This door is meant to create a pass-through in a wall, rather than replace a door-mounted pet flap. The product includes a cutout template and step-by-step instructions. Before cutting, compare the required cutout with the available wall area and check the wall thickness against the tunnel’s stated range. A wall outside that range won’t match the telescoping design, without that measurement, it’s hard to know whether the tunnel will fit.

For a practical example, imagine a dog asking to go out while you’re in another room: once the door is installed and the pet is comfortable using it, the flap provides a route to the yard without a person opening a door each time. Installation does require making a wall cutout, so it’s a more involved choice than fitting a pet door into an existing door or choosing a setup that avoids cutting.

Practical tips

Measure the opening your pet needs, not just its weight, and use the specified cutout dimensions when planning the installation. Check whether the wall thickness falls between 4 3/4 and 7 1/4 inches. The template and instructions can guide the process, but the listing doesn’t specify installation time or provide details for particular wall constructions, so don’t assume every wall will be equally straightforward.

It suits you if you want independent in-and-out access through a wall and your measurements fit the stated opening and tunnel range. You may want to skip it if you can’t make the required cutout, your wall falls outside that thickness range, or you need a documented insulation rating before choosing a weather-facing installation.

Questions before you buy

What wall thickness does the tunnel accommodate? The stated range is 4 3/4 to 7 1/4 inches.

What size cutout is required? The listed wall cutout is 14 9/16 inches wide by 25 inches high. The flap opening is smaller, at 13 19/64 by 23 19/32 inches.

Are installation materials included? The product description says a cutout template and step-by-step instructions are included. It doesn’t specify an installation time or list wall-specific instructions.

Final verdict

This Baboni door makes the most sense when a wall pass-through is the right layout, the cutout is feasible, and the tunnel range matches your wall. The steel-and-aluminum frame, double-flap design, and included template address durability, drafts, and installation guidance, but they don’t remove the need to measure carefully. If you prefer a simpler installation or can’t confirm a fit, a door-mounted or no-cut option is a more sensible direction.
