The Freedom Pet Pass flap design consists of a central
flap together with a "U" shaped gasket piece that overlaps the frame
and the flap on one side. Superficially similar to the old Johnson
pet door, the Freedom Pet Pass is an updated design that seals
extremely well due to a continuous magnetic connection between the
two parts. This flap design is patent pending.
While Johnson had a good initial idea, Freedom Pet Pass has a much
superior result due to this continuous magnetic design. Play the
video demonstrations below to get a good idea of how truly air-tight
this pet door is.
The other side of the coin, of course,
is that this flap is harder to push than other, more leaky flaps.
This probably isn't the best choice for an unduly timid or small
dog. Nor would we recommend it for cats.
The flap is made of 100% pure synthetic
rubber with a canvas backing which would have better insulating
capabilities than the single vinyl flap types but not so good as the
double flap models available. This factor is much less important,
though, that the great sealing capabilities noted above.
The locking cover shown in the right
lower graphics is an example of excellent design. No tracks are
needed; the cover is inserted directly from the front. This feature
eliminates any problems with overhead obstructions like door knobs.
Once in place, the steel pin--which is very beefy--is placed in a
hole in the frame and the locking cover is securely locked in
position. The knob in the center of the locking cover makes it easy
to handle during this process and also serves as the perfect
location to hold the steel pin by it's ring when not in use. Really
good design!
If you don't need this locking cover
(your dogs always have access to the pet door) then you can save a
substantial amount of money by purchasing this pet door without it.
The back side which incorporates the "U"
shaped gasket piece has gone through a number of transformations.
The final result, shown to the right, incorporates a polycarbonate
"chew guard" across the bottom which has proven to be very effective
in preventing chewing damage to the flap.
Important note:
The
Freedom Pet Pass wall mount is not self-framing. This pet door must
be "framed in" the wall.
