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.

The cone is pretty flexible. It gives when it hits something unlike the plastic collars. But, it would depend on how wide your doggie door is.

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.

No problem, the door swings just as easy either way. When coming in the bottom of the door is about 1" higher than going out. We've had two doggie doors. The first was a standard door from the local pet store. By far this one 300% better and is well worth the money. It seals wonderfully and looks good. I have it in a metal door and had the door shop at a local building supplier install the door for me. I would recommend this door.

I got mine for temporary outside the wall install (into studs with three lags through back) as I am also selling my place in a few months. It is sealed, but since the door can be opened with a good prybar, or easily attacked with a hand drill at the lock, or the whole thing can be pulled off a wall and carried away, this cabinet depends more on concealment than resistance to brute strength. So of the main safety attribute is the hidden nature.So as a temporary use outside the wall it is ok but not great. Also keep in mind that "California approval" is based on specified INSIDE the wall installation and your legal exposure/risk maybe higher since you are not suing it in the approved way.

Hmm. Yes, it is flexible but it is intended to lay flat because of the wires which are inside the mat. Plus it probably wouldn't radiate enough heat. I don't think it will work for your intended use. I'd look at a new dog door. I had a door in my old house in PA so I understand what you want to fix although mine stayed flexible. Hope you can find a solution.

The dog door comes in two halves - one for each side of your door. The two haves are connected by bolts that are long enough to go through any door (I think read 4 inch maximum thickness but no longer have the mounting instructions). The excess length of the bolts gets snipped off when you're done with installation. The minimum thickness is just over an inch.

Mine is installed on a wooden exterior door. It is not insulated, but has hollow sections inside the door. If you can cut the right sized hole on both sides then you should be able to install this cat/dog door.

There is a post on the upper-left hand door and a flip/twist latch that will accommodate a lock. That said the doors are thin metal sheets reinforced by foam panels. The doors will keep the wind and animals out. But they will offer little resistance to a committed person and a pair of scissors.

Not outside, unless you had a crate pad or blanket to use. Make sure your dog is under 40 lbs. or he/she won't be able to fit through the door

There is only one flap which is the door, made of hard plastic; the other side is open-ended (which is necessary for the door to swing both ways). Works very well, the magnetic 'unlock' sound is a bit startling to the pets as they need to be basically nosing the door to activate, but once trained, it's great.

I haven't used it in 3 years. I can't remember the details. It was used in the house for puppy training. It's really sturdy and well-made. the best one out there. I discovered afterwards that my GSD trainer uses this brand as well. The door is a good size for human entry and is at least 8-12 inches off the ground. You should call the manufacturer for more exact measurements. It's really a great product. Good luck.

I don't think so. There is a minimum thickness of the door in order to install the pet door.

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.

NO. The little dog door has a plastic panel that slides in and locks the opening. Can't get in or out through it. We have a 8lb puppy, mini doxie, that has no trouble getting in or out through the door. At night we lock, so she can't go out and raccoons and foxes can't get in.

This is not attached to the outside wall. It's very firmly attached to the inside of the house. There's no way anyone could rip this out from the outside without taking down the whole wall. Furthermore, if you're considering this size door, I'm guessing you have a good size dog who would not likely sit idly by and let someone take the house apart. I have 2 dogs (40 and 50 lbs) and believe me they would not tolerate anyone coming near the doggie door. Also, in terms of security, the door panel that prevents anyone (or any animal) from coming through the door is located on the inside and locks in place with a bolt all the way through the inside wall.

There is a plastic panel that slides in from the top to prevent access to the door. It will stop your cat or dog from running in and out but will not stop someone from breaking in.
