Can you still lock your door when using the panel?

Anyone ever install infront (outside of house) of the sliding door. Where your sliding screen would be. This would allow your glass sliding door to shut as normal. I picture adding my own brush sweep along the vertical edge to help with air lose. Comments and pictures would be helpful.

I use a pin lock to secure my door when leaving it open for the pet door. Window Guard Pin Lock Set for Sliding Doors and Windows - Extra-Long 3-1/2" Pin

Yes..but you must drill tiny holes in your sliding door frame. If you live where you do not want to do that...you could put a 2x4 in the door frame on the left, so no one could slide your glass door. I did that..because it feels even more secure.That is just my own opinion. Watch a couple of You Tube videos online that show installation process, and it will help you decide if it is what you want. Hope this helps. I love these doors. I used to have one for my dog..and now I use it so my indoor cat can go out on the porch.

Yes you can. You install this to the outside rail then the other door slides right passed it.

no ,the panel goes between the frame and the door that is there. The panel is screwed into the sliding door frame on the top bottom and one side. The outer side is attached to the slider with a latch kit that is provided

The panel does not fit great into the given slots. But you can wedge it into slot and get it to work. Our door is in the wall and the locking panel is hard to get in. It is actually slightly too large for the area its supposed to fit into.But it does keep the weather outside and latches closed pretty tightly. Our cat used to use the dog door but does not anymore since it is too heavy for him to push against.

Not really, it would still be easy to disengage the latch even if you removed the inside latch knob. Besides, you don't really want to lock someone in, just keep people out!

Yes, you can do that. As a matter of fact, you have to do that in order to lock it.

Not on the door you leave through. I have similar device on doors to the back yard where it is not an issue. Besides, nothing is absolute. Personally, if I were a thief I try the garage door first. I now unplug mine when away on vacation, just in case.

No, you can't lock your patio door but we put a board down to prevent the sliding glass door from being opened from the outside. It does come with a cover to close the doggie door if you want to prevent your pets from coming in/out. I will say that the doggie door looks very nice and is much better than what we had before we bought this one. Hope this helps

yes you can unlock it from the non locking side.it comes with a pin to unlock I recommend to keep the pin on top of the door casing

No. That is not an option on the door I have. The screen door is not solid enough and wouldn't offer the security needed.

James. The panel has latches that you install on the jamb side of the door and it uses the door latch to lock on the other side. You can still use patio door if needed.

No i always lock mine. I think it tells you to do that in the instructions.

I'm sure you could put a lock on it, but the panels are just fabric/screen and could easily be cut open so I don't see the point

Yes it does have a piece to slide in to keep the door from being accessed by the animal. In our slider I did have to modify the panel so that our door would lock to the panel. I had to take the locking piece from the door frame and screw that onto the panel. Now the panel attaches to the wall/door frame and the slider opens and closes, and locks to the panel.

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.

That is a good question. From what i know, touching the screen locks it and I am not sure if that can be altered. and if it is how would you then lock the door.

Yes, the actuator is mounted inside the door at any angle. Then you pick the way the actuator is wired to open or close the lock.

There's a Plexiglas panel that slides into place and is held in with a pin. This makes it VERY secure. It's not as 100% secure as a metal door would be, but pretty close IMHO.

Yes, unless you hold the latch down until you take the key out and close the door. Once the latch is released, the latch locks. It doesn't matter if the door is in an open or closed position.
