Does the existing sliding door lock against the pet 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.

No it doesn't lock against the existing door. Like a previous customer stated, I too had to use a bar to secure the original door. The seal isn't great either.

No it doesn't. You have to use a bar to have your sliding glass door be secure.

No. The pet door is flush with the sliding screen door, so I would have to completely block off the pet door to completely close/lock the glass sliding door. (I had to drill the pet door to secure it to the slider rails to avoid some rattling.)

Ours doesn't. I believe that there is a way to do it but when my husband put it in there was something about screwing it to the door frame. We are renting so we didn't screw it in and we put a stick in it.

Yes the door will swing both ways. It has locking tabs on both bottom corners to lock it. when unlocked it swings either direction and has a magnet in the frame and door that will hold it shut but the pet can easily open from either side.

Yes, I put one in our sliding door from Pella we got from Lowe's. It's not the greatest fit, but it should keep out burglars just looking for an unlocked door.

Yes. We have adjusted it to not lock upon closing as this is used at the top of the stairs to prevent the family dog from coming downstairs. We do leave it open when she is not around.

Yes, you can still use your sliding glass door while the pet panel is in place.

While it may 'fit' in the opening, it will not be secure enough with the tension resting on the sliding door (the door on the one side will not be wide enough to hold the tension 'rings' on the end of the screws). I would not advise using this for a sliding door. They do make models that do fit sliding doors though - http://www.amazon.com/Cardinal-Gates-Lock-n-Block-Sliding-24-Inches/dp/B003TFEF3G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398872451&sr=8-2&keywords=Cardinal+Gates+Lock-N-Block+Sliding+Door+Gate - try that link.

Unfortunately no it doesn't have either. Although it is sturdy enough to cut a slot in the door I don't know if it would lock securely for you.

I think it would work; particularly if it is attached well at the edges with something like "scotch double sided mounting tape. If you are able to secure it with small screws that would also hold it well. It is not thick so if the side you are protecting slides into the other door piece it most probably will still allow the door to slide open and close. It has worked well with our border collie - great Pyrenees mix dog. Hope I have helped you.

In my opinion YES, it will prevent that. It is double bolted and secured to the side framing of the door. With a past in public safety, I researched this quite a bit because in our new home we can not use a simple pin to secure the door over and above the cheap latches that come on sliding doors. When I researched this type of lock and passed it around a few police friends we were all in agreement that this would ultimately keep the door attached and unable to be removed from the tracks as normal access with a crow bar or heavy screw driver would allow. I highly recommend it.

Yes, you can still use the door. How wide is the slider that you intend to install the pet door into? The reason I ask is that I installed it in a rather narrow opening (it's a 5 foot slider, opening is only about 30 inches). With the pet door installed, the opening is only about 20 inches. I can go through the door, but not much else (furniture, for example). Hope this helps.

Yes it does have a slide down door and you can put it on either side so if your out side with the dog and you don't want them to go in. Hope this helps you.

No, what comes in the box is one panel in two pieces. The two pieces are easily assembled into one tall panel that fits between your sliding door and the wall. Which means your sliding door is not replaced, but rather open just enough for the panel to fit in place. You then "lock" the panel in place with thumb screws and secure your slider with either the included lock or a board of some sort (your choice). The picture shown is the top half of the panel (left) and the bottom half of the panel (right).

It has a plastic cover that slides in from the top on the inside of the door. It is very secure as far as pets being able to get out or unwanted animals getting in. It could be broken into from the outside by kicking it in. But most home doors can be broken into with little increase in force. They have lasted me about seven +/- years. I am on my third door in 16 years. They crack over time. They have lasted much longer than the flexible doors for me and I would never use anything else. I have two dogs that use them 24/7.

We mounted ours on the back side of the door not the side that we use all the time. This allows us to still lock the door as usual. We also secured the pet door & back sliding door so they cannot be moved.

It with a Velcro which allows you to attach it to the door so it locks to it. So far, it works great for me.

There is only one area that opens for the animal to go through. There is a panel that can be slipped over the part that opens to block from use.The upper section is a stationary window that looks just like the glass on your sliding doors. Construction is like a reg. sliding door only the width needed to allow a small pet to pass through. We like it very much. The remaining space left for humans to pass through is 17.5". We installed it in a bedroom sliding door that is not used too often.

Yes you can lock the pet door so the dog cannot go out or other animals cannot come in.
