Pet Door for Wall Medium - Steel Frame, Double Flap for Pets up to 40

In this review the Baboni Pet Door for Wall is assessed for households wanting a durable, metal pet door that gives cats and small dogs independent access. The single biggest reason to buy is the door's all-metal construction and telescoping tunnel that fits walls between 4 3/4 and 7 1/4 in thick, offering a sturdy, weather resistant opening with a double-flap that helps keep drafts out. Installation templates and hardware make the process straightforward, so owners comfortable with basic tools will appreciate the practicality and thermal benefits.

Key Features

• Durable steel frame: The metal laser welded frame and aluminum alloy finish provide long-term strength and resistance to the elements.
• Telescoping tunnel: Expands to fit walls 4 3/4 to 7 1/4 in thick so it works with many interior and exterior wall types.
• Double-flap design: Two flaps improve weatherproofing and energy efficiency by reducing drafts through the opening.
• Generous flap opening: The 8 1/4 in by 12 1/4 in flap suits most cats and small dogs up to 40 lb for easy passage.
• Complete installation kit: Comes with a cut-out template and step-by-step instructions so DIY installation is manageable for competent homeowners.
• After-sales support: The brand emphasizes customer service and supplies complete accessories to finish the install cleanly.

Who It's For

This pet door is best for owners of cats and small dogs up to 40 lb who need a sturdy, metal-framed solution for interior or exterior walls. It suits homes where thermal efficiency matters, thanks to the double-flap that reduces cold air transfer and helps during seasonal temperature changes.

It is not ideal for very large dogs or owners who want an ultra-simple plastic flap only; those with heavier chewers or pets that paw aggressively at flaps should consider reinforced or larger commercial options. People unwilling to cut a wall or without basic DIY skills may want professional installation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• All-metal construction feels solid and looks clean against walls.
• Telescoping tunnel and clear cut-out template make fitting different wall thicknesses simple.
• Double flaps provide a noticeable insulating effect compared with single-flap doors.
• Included hardware and instructions streamline the install process.

Cons

• Some users report flap material can wear if a pet repeatedly scratches or chews, so durability of the flaps may vary with use.
• Requires a wall cut-out and basic tools, which may deter non-DIY buyers.
