Ruff-Weather Pet Door with Telescoping Frame- what is meant by telescoping frame
297235
The length and width are set, but the depth can be adjusted to how wide your door, or wall, or what ever you are installing the doggy door into. Obviously a door is not as wide as a wall, so it needs to adjust for the end users needs. I put mine in a wall, so I used the very long screws to connect the inside peice to the outside peice.

I believe that what they actually mean by this statement is that the frame "has the ability to telescope" because of the inside flange that they have on both the outer and inner door pieces. they also sell a piece that you could attach to these flanges to put thru the wall - seems to me that it was about $40 so I built my own.

Seeing what Calvinbob said I would completely agree. my friend has the older version with 2 locks but the door does not hook latch into the bottom of the frame. I prefer the new style better. My dog is crate trained as well and doesn't try to escape. I have seen the pictures of crates torn apart by dogs and find it hard to imagine. If the dog can tear this apart your going to need to spend a good chunk of money on something really extreme.

We put additional screws in our pet door to keep it together. Our large dog goes flying through it like there is no tomorrow and it used to come apart. With the screws in place it stays together now.

It is not a telescoping bar. It comes in 4-pieces that twist-n-lock to each other. It's pretty sturdy and works well for the price.

I have only installed the "small" pet door. For kitchen to sunporch, I built an insulated wooden frame to hold the pet door that fits in the window. Window must be larger opening than pet door.

The door on the right is a ramp. it is nice and wide. My cage raised jersey wooley bunny won't use ramps so I open it and set the end on a box so it makes a bridge and he enjoys the supervised change of scenery, but my daughter's new Zealand has no trouble with it.

I'm not sure where you live, but where we are in Calgary, Alberta, the temperature can get to -40° Celsius...frickin' cold! At that temperature, it'll get some frost on the frame, but that's about it. Other than those days, even the tile we have in that area doesn't get cold. It's a GREAT dog door!!!

Your dog is completely enclosed with 2 zipper areas (front and back) to get dog in or out. It is nylon mesh so the pet can see out.

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.

It is a single flap door, but there is a second hard plastic sheathing that you can use it to lock the pet door when you travel.There's not much insulation. It has insulation strips to go between the window and the pet door but the glass is likely not as insulating as the windows in modern American homes.

The IDEAL pet door has a seal on the outside half that is supposed to fit uniformly on the house door so as to keep the weather out. If the house door that you are considering installing the pet door in is an outside door (leading outside of the house), then you will have trouble getting a good weather seal if the house door has an irregular surface. To better help answer your question, try watching the installation video that is provided on the left side of the page on the IDEAL pet door site. Hope this helps!

There are mesh ventilation panels on 2 sides of the bag for your pet. What you see in the pictures are real ventilation panels.

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.

We take ours in and out as needed. The install kit comes with a weatherstripping flap so the door can be moved. There is also a linkage to allow locking of the door to the panel so there is some security. We only remove it if we're having a party and need the door. Use a large stick in bottom track to keep door secure. Love the door and so does our dog!

This is the roof system only, consisting of a tarp over a open frame. There is nothing with this roof that closes an open kennel, it is basically for shade only, not security. Anything that climbs could get under tarp and into kennel. The frame "legs" slip into the top round poles of whichever dog kennel you buy. We have an ASPCA kennel which does not have a closed top. We closed it with fencing to use as a chicken coop since we have birds of prey all around. I checked out the AKC kennels, too, which are open topped. There probably are closed top kennels, you'd have to research them. This is the roof system only, consisting of a tarp over a open frame.

There is a hard plastic panel that fits into grooves on the sides of the pet door (inside) to keep pets inside or out.
