How far does the pet door stick out on the outside? We have a glass storm door on the outside of our laundry room door, and I want to lock it at night

just measured it. 2 1/2 (or 2.5) inches. BTW, I have been exceptionally pleased with this door.

It sticks out 2" on each side. You can slide the lock panel on the inside panel, but it could be kicked in if they really wanted in. That person would be met by 3 dogs, best security system. Love the door.

Anna,The glass doors DO NOT extend outside of the frame. Hope this helps you out. J

It's about 17 and one half inches. It could be made to work, but it seems like it would be less trouble and perhaps less expensive in the long run to get a pet door made to be installed in the place of a removable window.

We actually have a runner from the door about 8 feet long. The dog mat is on top of it close to the door to catch the snow, mud, water. We also have a towel that we wipe their paws with because it is so bad here in the winter and with 4 dogs, we could never keep up with it if we didn't do that. The dog mat has helped cut down on a lot of it though.

The Door Actually has a Locking Mechanism. The Pet Cannot Escape if the Locking Mechanism is engaged. It's Easy for the Pet Owners to ope from the outside.

I have it on the inside of the window on my door. During daylight it's hard to see inside the house but at night you can see in only if you have a light on inside.

Sorry for the delay. It sticks out 2 inches when folded. I love it. I have a very small laundry room and it would have been behind a door as well. We ended up putting a barn style sliding door on the inside. Works great and gave a us a lot more space.

In the winter I made sure the door was pointed away from the wind and it got some use.In the summer my dog just looks for shady areas in the yard and itnores it.

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!

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.

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.

I installed 2 of these on exterior doors and have had no problems with them, I would not purchase these for doors that I use all of the time, they lock each time the door closes making it a pain to use if you go in and out of the door a lot.

I doubt it very much. I have one of mine on the glass IN the door (the glass is about 2' square) and it does go off once in a while for a sharp knock. I use the HI sensitivity setting, not the LOW. I turn mine off when I'm expecting a visitor. In my case, I want to know if somebody is messing with the door. Great peace of mind at night.

Turn bottom 'knob' to the right. This locks door from inside. When you are leaving home, turn it to the right when door is open; then close door and it is locked. The bottom knob is a little stiff at first, but after a few turns it is fine. Hope this helps. RS

Well, I have it on my closet's door and I can shut it w/o problem. However, I tried putting it on my room's door, and it cannot be closed. It depends on the kind of door too.

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.

No, you can't lock your patio door but we put a board down to prevent the sliding glass door from being opened from the outside. It does come with a cover to close the doggie door if you want to prevent your pets from coming in/out. I will say that the doggie door looks very nice and is much better than what we had before we bought this one. Hope this helps
