Our Verdict

The PlexiDor Electronic is the tank of electronic pet doors — steel frame, acrylic panel, garage-door-style vertical slide mechanism, and a 10-year warranty. It's one of the only electronic doors available in extra-large sizes suitable for Great Danes, Mastiffs, and other giant breeds. The RFID collar key triggers the motorized panel to slide up. At $2,409 with no app or smart features, this is a premium build-quality play — not a smart-home device.
