How do you secure the small door (not the gate) that is part of one of the panels?

On the panel that you're talking about, make sure that it's not upside down. It's actually a window and it has two latches to keep it closed by sliding along the bars.

When I'm home I just put he door in without screwing it in. This way I can easily take it out at night. But when I left for a couple days, I bolted it in for security purposes.

There are little hooks on each panel and hooks also on the main one to tie rope through it to secure it

Pry around the edge of the panel, there are push pins that hold the panel to the metal.you can pick up a cheap tool to help with this but it can be done with a screwdriver gently or by hand.they can usually be reused once or twice. Hope this helps.kudos on getting the door handle off as I do not know how to do that

I've seen people put plywood to fill the gap above the unit. Then you would secure the center screw to the board. You would then need to use the provided brackets to keep the window closed tight so the board does not fall out.

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

If you can install it UNDER the pane-dividers, it will be more secure. Remember that the glass will still break, so I'd be afraid of the smaller panes breaking out of the frame, unless the whole of the glass in the door were covered.

The panel is 2" high, but you will need at least 1/2" of the panel to secure it on to the door

I picked up a ratchet strap (the kind used to tie things down to a truck) to secure the tree to my door. The straps are cheap at any hardware store (~$2) and come in a couple different colors. It isn't the most beautiful solution, but it keeps the whole thing stable and doesn't damage the door. My cats love this thing.

I have it on small platform about 1" thick. Otherwise the door would probably be hard to open.

If you contact the solar group or rubbermaid via their website I am sure they will help secure a part. Thanks. I just threw an old door into reclycling that was prefectly fine and I would have sent it to you for the cost of mailing it!

I have the same size door. You will need two rolls to do the whole door. I have windows on the top panels so I didn't cover them., and any foil tape will do.

The flap is hard plastic and has a 2 way lock. This door does not have a security panel, which would make it more secure than just the two way lock system.

There is a smaller panel on the top that could be removed. It would leave the other side loose, but it would open.

There is a lip, or slightly higher ridge, that keeps items from sliding off when the door is opened.

There are push ins holding the door panel on just pull and the panel should pop off

I use the panel with the hinged opening gate across the doorway into the laundry room and hold the panel in place with carabiners/eyebolts in the door frame. Works great. Each panel is connected to the other with long rods or extra long rods(which goes into the ground) for sturdiness. Connecting them all together as a stand alone unit would be ok (in my opinion) for small dogs to be contained but large dogs and/or dogs who would jump on the panels-they would need to be secured to something for sturdiness. They are very strong/durable panels but having two large golden retrievers that like to jump- I would want to secure at least some of panels to something (if not into the ground) for steadiness. I purchased to units and love them and use them all the time configuring them accordingly my needs. I've been using one of the gate panels in my laundry room doorway for nearly 5 years and love it!
