Is this a perminant doggie door or can it be used as a temporary door?

This can be used as a permanent installation or a temporary installation. A permanent installation would require you to drill the panel into the framing, but this is not needed. You can simply just have the panel sit in the track and remove it at any time with a temporary installation.

I have used several different doors in the past of a similar style. I have always in the past used them as a semi-permanent solution and I believe that it is possible to do the same with this door. I have actually made this installation permanent as I have mounted the panel on the stationary side of the door. It was suggested tibdi this as an alternative solution and Iam happy iI did it that way. Just be aware that if you mount it on the siding side or the stationary side you are lossing pass thr space

It can be permanent or temporary, you have the option of fixing it to the door jam or just removing it at will. This is a great dog door btw.

Both. We've used it as permanent, but are planning to move it to another door when we get our yard finished.

Yes, if you need to remove it frequently such as to move large objects or roll something through. It is more secure with the cups installed. We use ours to control doggy access to various parts of the house. I would hesitate to leave the gate unsecured if a larger child or animal might push it out of the doorway.

It has the solid plastic door that slides into the grooves, which can be attached from either the inside or the outside, so no one can come in or out, however it could be broken. I understand that some of the more costly pet doors (around 250 dollar range) have locking security, this one does not however.

yes and it is easy to install work ok unless you place it in a door that the wind directly hits it all the time. I placed it in my door that faced south and i live on a hill and it blow open during really heavy hailing or windy rainy days but i still like the door and my dog love it, he can look outside without going out there and it is easy for him to push it open.

Depends on the tenacity of the dog. Our shepard red heeler mix tried to scratch her way out and gave up after realizing that this wasn't as easy as the wire crate she had before. The door locks on all four sides (top, bottom, left, right) and the crate is made of strong plastic and tough metal. No crate is foolproof, but this one is so tough that my dog doesnt even bother to try to escape anymore.

I'm confused concerning your measurements. This is not a door for an outside "run" or kennel. This is a replacement door for a Petmate brand, size jumbo, plastic crate. It is just a big plastic crate that you normally see for traveling or potty training. For what it's worth, the opening is 21" wide (at it's widest point, it arcs slightly at the middle to follow the contours of the door's frame) and 27" high. There is no length to speak about. This is not a chain-link or pig-iron swinging door.

not quite. My sliding door has a metal piece at the top which does not fit into the gap at the top of the petdoor. If I was more handy, I could probably cut the metal piece that causes the blockage in the pet door; however, this is just for balcony access, so I don't have to worry about locking the door.

You can fasten the door frame to the inside of the wall studs and trim the outside edge with brick mold trim. This makes it as secure as any other dog door that I have seen with the inside panel in place.

Yes, if the place where you install it doesn't slide past another door, then it would work. It's about an inch thick, so it might be perfect for a dog that's scratching

The doggie door has a solid plastic panel that locks in place from the inside of the door. I love this doggie door. It was worth the investment.

Apologizes for the delay. We do not have an "invisible dog fence" so I can't honestly say if would interfere with either. Try calling the company that makes/sells the door to see what they say. Good luck!

Hi, it's not a door, it comes with a grill for the front that can be attached if you want to use it to keep your dog in there while you introduce them to this. that way they don't just run off. Mine never used it as they like the run! We used the lasor light or a treat to entice them. I think that weight is a misprint it is a good long lasting solid item and very quiet too!

The large size is big enough for a smaller person to crawl through or to reach up and turn the inside door nob. But you would have that issue with any large size dog door. Included is a heavy plexiglass panel that can easily be put on or taken off to control pet access. Is this panel strong enough to prevent a person from kicking it in? I doubt it but if that is the situation you have bigger problems. I am ordering a second one of these doors in the near future for the garage. Great product and well worth the price.

The lighter colored (and weight) bars on the end slide if the rubber gaskets are stripped and several of mine were. I transport dogs for Weimaraner Rescue, puppies and 100+ pounds. I don't care what kind of gate you get, a determined dog can get through, around over or past it. If it is your dog, you just teach it to stay. My personal dog doesn't mess with it at all. The gates that go from floor to ceiling are much sturdier and while a little trouble to take in and out last forever. In my new SUV, the angle of the seat and ceiling made my old one impossible to use.

There is a doggie door for a small dog to fit through (under 20 pounds) and there is also a latch where the gate disconnects so you can fold it up and that you can walk through.

There is only one flap which is the door, made of hard plastic; the other side is open-ended (which is necessary for the door to swing both ways). Works very well, the magnetic 'unlock' sound is a bit startling to the pets as they need to be basically nosing the door to activate, but once trained, it's great.

That is the only problem that we have found with this door is that it is difficult to secure the sliding door once the doggie door is in place. My boyfriend bought a sliding glass door lock from Home Depot (its placed along the track of the door) to secure the entry.
