Heavy-Duty Aluminium Frames
The main advantage of the Staywell aluminium range is the strength of the frame. Aluminium provides a more robust structure than many lightweight plastic pet doors, making these models particularly useful for active dogs and multi-pet households.
The reinforced construction is designed to cope with frequent everyday use while maintaining a neat appearance around the opening.
Flexible Flaps with Magnetic Closing
Each dog door uses a flexible flap that moves easily as your pet passes through.
A magnetic closure helps return the flap towards its normal closed position after use, while weather stripping on compatible models helps reduce unwanted draughts around the opening.
Removable Closing Panel
Staywell aluminium dog doors are supplied with a removable closing panel that can be fitted when you do not want your pet to use the door.
This can be useful overnight, when you are away from home or whenever you want to restrict access temporarily.
Small Aluminium Dog Door
The Small Staywell Aluminium Dog Door is suitable for cats and smaller dogs up to approximately 7kg.
It is a useful choice where you want the strength of an aluminium frame without creating an unnecessarily large opening.
Medium Aluminium Dog Door
The Medium Staywell Aluminium Dog Door is designed for medium-sized dogs up to approximately 18kg.
It provides a good balance between a generous pet opening and a relatively compact overall frame size.
Large Aluminium Dog Door
The Large Staywell Aluminium Dog Door is suitable for many larger dog breeds and is recommended for pets up to approximately 45kg.
Always check your dog's actual measurements, especially with broad-chested breeds.
Extra Large Aluminium Dog Door
The Extra Large Staywell Aluminium Dog Door provides the biggest opening in the range and is designed for very large dogs.
This size creates a substantial opening through the door, so installation position and household security should be considered carefully before fitting.

Why Choose Aluminium Instead of Plastic?
For many households, a plastic-framed dog flap is perfectly suitable. Aluminium becomes particularly attractive where the pet door will receive heavier use or where a stronger frame is preferred.
Potential advantages include:
- Greater frame strength
- Better resistance to everyday knocks and impacts
- Suitable for active and larger dogs
- Long-lasting appearance
- A more substantial feel than lightweight plastic frames
Replacement Flaps & Spare Parts
A damaged flexible flap does not necessarily mean replacing the complete aluminium dog door.
Replacement flaps are available for selected Staywell aluminium models, allowing you to repair an existing installation and extend the useful life of the frame.
Check your existing product model before ordering any replacement part.
Measure Your Dog Before Ordering
Do not choose a dog flap by weight alone. Dogs of the same weight can vary considerably in height and width.
Before ordering, measure:
- Body Width – Measure the widest part of your dog.
- Shoulder Height – Measure from the floor to the top of the shoulders.
- Opening Position – Make sure the flap can be installed at a comfortable height.
Important Security Information
Large and extra-large dog doors create substantial openings through an external door and should not be treated as household security devices.
Consider the location carefully and use suitable additional security measures elsewhere in the property where required.
