Does this have to be permanently installed or can I take it in/out as needed?

The panel may be removed as needed. We found that it is not a tough chore, but not something to do casually. We have had our panel in place for four years. The dogs use it a lot. When we want to keep them in, we slide in the flap cover.

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!

You can take it in and out as needed. I did not make any modifications to mine, just put it in place and adjusted the top.

we did not permanently install it but it was not very energy efficient. I ended up putting a permanent doggy door in the wall after I replaced the old sliding door with a French door.

Yes. I never take mine out. Being inside the unit is the safest it can be. Mine is installed in my jeep wrangler.

It comes installed but you can pull it out carefully with needle nose pliers.

Hi, it is easy to remove. It fits in perfectly, but you'll have no problem removing it if you want to.

Yes, it is removable. In fact, when the item arrives, you are guided through installing it.

You can leave it on. It is extremely easy to put it in. It is less than 1 hour for installation.

Yes you can leave it on permanently. If you want to remove it, you can with a heat gun. It is time consuming to put on, but well worth it.

No you have to have it installed. Unless you can do that sort of thing by yourself.

I believe you could remove it. Although I have no experience. I've only installed mine but could probably remove it if it became necessary.

It is not necessary to install the rack. You can leave the space open. The rack actually does not attach anyway It is inserted loose and can be removed any time.

No, this is not part of a travel system. Once it's installed, you'll never ever way to take it out.

Due to weather elements and creatures outdoors. I wouldn't advise a permanent install. What I do is I have hooks setup inside and outside where I want it. On a clear warm day I take it outside hook it to the hooks with an extension cord for power. When I'm done I mount it back inside. All that's kept outside are the hooks where you hung the screen up.

Maybe. If there is a tab to grab, pull it off. If it is a plastic coating that does not have a tab it may be pressed off when it is installed.

It's really not setup for constant removal and re-installs. The self tapping screws will eventually strip and the fitting/guide tabs will wear or break with constant use. This will result in a loose fitting device around the trigger which is just asking for trouble.

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.

If this is going to be your hard drive that you boot your computer from, then yes it would have to be installed into your computer to operate. If you mean to pull the drive out while your system is running then no, that won't work; you would get the blue screen of death and the O/S would freeze. Your computer would have to be off, and then remove the drive. I have mine set up as a secondary drive with W2K3; I still have to shut down the system or I get that blue screen thing. Hope that helps.

I don't see why you couldn't remove it, however unless you just absolutely don't have room for it I would leave it in place. I need to ask if you are a heavy gamer or do you just use your PC for the every day things, because if you are a gamer then I would most definitely leave it in place.
