Is the lock on this dog door good? I have a german shepard that breaks into our house with the dog door we have now. Its just a plastic cover

The cover for the inside is a solid separate piece. It slides down and is held in place with groves on both sides and the bottom. And there is a spring loaded button on the top. My 2 large Golden Retrievers (both weigh about 85 pounds) haven't been able to get the door open if the cover is in place open from the outside or the inside in the 6 months it's been installed. You do have to put the door in place every time you want it locked. I have been really happy with this door. We put the inside cover in place at night and when we go away to keep our girls inside and to keep the wild critters out since we live in the country.

That's correct. Only the way for the door to open is with the sensor on the collar. And we've even found, for whatever reason, it actually has to be *on* the dog to work. When we just dangle the collar by the door it doesn't work. We feel it's very secure.

We don't have an extreme weather door to compare it to. My friends two little dogs (5-8lbs) don't have problems going through it. Just make sure the door you're replacing has the symbol in the middle too, some reviews said the plain doors fit differenlty than the doors with the company logo in the middle.Hope this helps!

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

It's been a very good doggie door. We have 7 dogs and they have no problems. We also live where there's very high wind and still no problems. I would recommend this product.

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.

The cover itself does not lock. It clamps from inside/ underneath. If your tailgate locks, it's fairly secure. Of course, if a thief really wants in, the could cut it open through the top.

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.

Probably not puppy proof if you have a chewer. It has plastic covered mesh for doors and windows. We got it for our 85 lb. huskita and she has not ever chewed on it but she is pretty mellow and 4 yrs. old. I love this kennel.

I did get the replacement flap and was please with it. Easy to install. It is my third or fourht order. I don't know anything about the sliding door to lock out the pets though.

I think it looks about the same on both sides. The bad thing is the flap is useless. I hate that I ruined a door by putting this junk on it. They tell me it wasn't designed for extreme temperatures but I'm wondering why not just cut a hole in your door and forget the doggy door if it can only be used on nice days?

plastic i love this. my dog is spoiled and won't get her feet wet. since it has 2 doors one on each side, she goes thru her 3 doggie doors and than goes in there does what she needs to and it is easy to clean inside. one of the greatest things i could have purchased. dealing with amazon is the greatest place to purchase things. they stand behind all.hope this helps.

The frame is made out of plastic and the top two pieces holding the door are not very strong, especially for a big dog. This door did not hold up and broke quickly. The doors that are made with the plastic flap are much better. They have magnets to keep them in place and the frame around them are much stronger and can even be reinforced with zip ties if need be.

I agree with other contact, the frame of the door is the same thinkness as a standard door. You could check with the manufacturer, they have great customer service, to see if they have a modifier that might allow it to work, great door, gets a lot of use with my 3 dogs.

Has an additional (sliding) door that is only secure enough to keep dogs or other animals from entering.

It's quite easy. If my mini-dachshund hadn't been able to break into it, I would definitely recommend this item.

Hello,I purchased this flap to put in a fence with out the frame work. I would got to PetSafe.net and put your mouse over the word doors and scroll down to replacement door and parts. You can also call them or email them regarding replacement parts they were very helpful to me. I just didnt' tell them I wasn't going to purchase from them since I found such a fgreat buy on Amazon. Good luck.
