Pet Gear – The Other Door Steel Crate, Small, Tan



I like the idea of this crate. However, it needs a few things. We show our Boxer at AKC dog shows and that is why we bought this. The wheels are cheap. So, I wish it had bigger, stronger wheels. They give you a carrying case with cut-outs for the wheels, so that you can drag it on the ground on its wheels, with the case in-tact. However, the only thing that happens, is that the fabric case gets torn up.
Second, when you collapse the crate, there is no latch to keep it locked and secure. So, I had to go out and buy bungy cords for it.
Third, the handle is cheap. When I was dragging it on the wheels, on day one, the handle broke off.
So, now I have to go out and buy a handtruck to put the crate on, which defeats the purpose of buying a crate with built-in wheels.
If they re-do this crate with stronger parts, this crate will fly off of the shelves. Until then, wait for version 2.0. (if there is such a thing)
