Staywell has made life easier for pet lovers. It offers pet doors making living more convenient for both owners and pets. It has dog doors of all types. Their products are just like your ordinary pet doors, only better equipped with more features. Below are some of its key features that make it one of a kind. But first, let's go through your typical dog door.

A typical dog door is a hinged or spring door that readily lets pets in and out of the house. Usually, it is installed into a window, a wall, or a bigger door. It is different from a flap, which has no lock and readily lets animals pass. Dog doors normally have a closing panel keeping the door in place. There are cheap dog doors available in the market but they are not recommended as they easily get destroyed because of their cheap materials, especially when you have a boisterous dog.

In this sense, Staywell is ahead of many other brands as they are more robust. To ensure sturdiness, it has categorized its doors according to the size and weight of dogs they can allow to pass through. Small doors can fit dogs up to 7 kg. Medium doors are suitable for dogs up to 18 kg. Dogs heavier than this but do not exceed 45 kg fit in large doors, while those heavier than this up to 100 kg are suited for the extra-large doors. Aluminum doors are also available for each category to handle more boisterous dogs. It comes with a magnetic closure for added security.

Other special features are also added to some dog doors for security. For example, one type of the small dog doors has a 4-way magnet that can be put into one of 4 settings: the in-only, out-only, always open or always closed. This is aptly put in a small dog door because this door is for small pets. As such, it is installed near the ground. Because of this, rodents and other unwelcome animals can easily get inside your house through it. With this setting, you can control the entry and exit of these animals, as well as that of your dog.

Sometimes, we allow some of our pets to readily get in and out of the house, while we forbid others. We either want others to remain outside or stay inside. For this purpose, Staywell has an infrared-activated dog door. This door can accommodate dogs up to 100 kg in weight. Here, a collar, which has a tag on it, is worn by the dog. The tag activates the door and lets the dog in or out of the house. More than one dog can activate this, as long as all the dogs are wearing the same tag.

For those who have dogs as pets at home, buying a dog door would be very convenient for you. You get to take a break from being your dog's doorman and still be ensured of safety from other pesky animals. Moreover, albeit more expensive than the normal ones, it is sturdy and will last a long time. And in getting dog doors, there's no better option than Staywell, a brand specializing in pet doors.

Problem with spring action when fitting new door handles?

My husband is replacing our door handles with the knob variety at my request and when doing so has encountered a spring problem with them not returning the catch properly, can anyone suggest what we can do to recify the spring loading/catch problem as he is telling me to return them.

The biggest problem with the standard doorknobs is alignment. Almost anytime there is a problem with their operation, it goes back to just that, something is misaligned. The main hole for the knob set should be a 2-1/8"bore, and *generally* set back from the door's edge 1-3/8" to the center. The cross bore for the latch needs to be exactly centered to the handle bore, and should be a 1" bore. Then the face of the latch is mortised into the end, and everything should be lined up and easy to operate. If all this has been done correctly and the knob does NOT retract properly, or has any *odd* problem at all, then you very well could have a defective set. To prove it out for sure, put the whole assembly together *NOT INSTALLED* in the door and check the operation again. If it's still *sticky*, return it. If it operates freely when NOT installed, then you missed something on the installation.
