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 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

Yes to both questions......it would be suitable for a very small dog and it can be installed in a storm door

I also have an insulated exterior door that I installed the Dog mate into...it was a little more difficult to cut but it works

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.

Nope. It could be even difficult for a small (toy) dogs to use the door, since the flap is heavy enough with strong magnets.

It's absolutely usable outdoors if you're not worried about your dog breaking out. There are flaps for all the mesh windows, except the door. It even comes with stakes for the ground.

Hi Chad, Let me be honest I didn't buy this for my dogs, its being used in my chicken coup I don't use the vinyl flap insert I just needed the door and the locking door piece, my dog door is in the wall of my home and its a different style its the heavy weather style with a double flap and it works great and its used by both my mini dachshunds and yellow lab.

Its a garage door. You can keep it zipped and only use one side as a way in.

No. That would be a danger in pinning the pet between the door and the frame so it doesn't. You would probably need some other product to keep that pet away from the door.

This is a hard one to answer. It could be pulled off of a door by a determined dog. It does hold pretty well.

no, it is meant only as a temporary shelter. it is not sturdy enough for a permanent shelter.

I don't know the dimensions of the door, however, it should easily work for a small to medium size dog. I discovered by accident that there are two ways to use the door. With the product label facing right side up, there is about 6" from the bottom edge of the pen to the bottom of the door. If you turn it upside down, the top of the door rests right on the floor, which works great for my dog to easily walk in and out. I have also folded back a few of the panels to make a smaller pen for a nice sleeping area for my puppy without having to take out the panels. My year old pup couldn't quite be trusted with the run of the house at night, and this has proven to solve the problem very nicely.

I live in Los Angeles so I can't possibly give you feed back that would be from comparable conditions. I don't see however, what else can you make or do to make a door accessible for a dog and insulate any better. The two plastic flaps are made of what seems quite durable and definitely generously thick plastic. They have magnetic metal strips along the bottom side which immediately flap back to the frame, after the dog goes through, to enclose the opening. Very happy with the product. 5 stars.

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.

Thank you for your question! This door is designed to close with magnets behind your pet which shouldn't make it easy for insects to enter. For added protection, you can always add an additional flap to the door.

We have a schnoodle, about 18 lbs, and a smaller maltipoo, and the door is big enough for them to practicality go through side by side. In fact, we have a toddler (24 lbs) and he has used the doggie door with no issues. The flap measurement is accurate. I would suggest cutting a hole in a cardboard box the correct size, and testing it with your dog. I do suggest that you be ready to purchase additional weatherstripping, as what's included is inadequate.
