How hard would one have to kick it to push the door part out of the frame and gain entry?

This is not something that I am familiar with but for what its worth, I would think if someone wanted to gain entrance into a house there would be lot easier ways to accomplish breaking and entering, for example breaking a window. Hope this helps!

it would be almost impossible in my opinion. The frame is screwed to the door from the inside. I installed it myself, and any intruder is not going to get through that way.

Hi there!The gate is mounted with screws to the door. So, the amount of force needed will depend on the type of material it is mounted to. Like others say, there are other easier ways to break in like windows. It is important to know that the sensor that goes on your pet for entry purposes is universal. So, at night, I do deactivate the outside sensor. I do have an alarm with a motion sensor. So, if someone breaks in, i have time to get ready and welcome the intruder "politely" :o) So, an alarm with a motion sensor would be the best way to deal with your concern. It is sturdy enough to handle accidental impact. Hi there!The gate is mounted with screws to the door. So, the amount of force needed will depend on the type of material it is mounted to.

Haven't tried it, of course, but my sense is that it would be a fairly tough and noisy process to do it. The door is in a track all the way around, so the door would have to be broken away. Steeltoed boots, lying on your back, kicking that narrow area of glass ? It could probably be done but not easily.

I have not tried it, but I think someone could kick it in. If you are worried about an intruder, do not install a dog door.

It is impossible! Bullet proof and stronger than your windows. No one could get in. My installer told me all windows should be made of this material.

I would say it's doable, but would be tough. You have to pull all the sides out then push the hinges up to click into place. It's best if you have someone who could help you for 5minutes,10 minutes max, that way it gets done faster and gets put up securely.

it would be a squeeze- possibly not wide enough... also when door is installed, not much room to walk through opening as a human!

Not easily. The metal hinge pins would have to be sawed to remove the door.

It will have no problem if you make sure that the spring that opens the door is set so it will lift the door.

Yes it would be tight,but as long as you can push door all the way back,it's doable

Make sure the frame is all the way extended and push up underneath It's an easy up but with a bit if effort

Not sure what you mean by "pushed in". Do you mean moved out of place? Or do you mean "activated"? If there is enough space under the door frame, you could push it out of place. It will sound its alarm from both sides of the door when opened from either side.

I've been able to move it without taking it apart. At my old house it went through doorways fine. Where I'm living now the hallway is too narrow so I can't quite make the turn. I don't move it often, but I can move it by tipping it on its side. Not super convienient, but not bad. And like I said, the problem is our hall, not the door frame itself.

It does work, you just have to push really hard until you hear a click and it locks down.

You need to forcefully push it in until it clicks and moves with the locking mechanism. It took me a while to figure it. Don't hammer it in or anything that forceful, but I think I exerted at least 50 lbs or so of force to make it go in. You will know once it locks in place. Wish Schlage included better directions. Had to ask a friend who was a locksmith in a past life to help me out. They are great locks and works beautifully!

I don't think so. You just place it around the door frame, so it would just get pushed off when you push the door in

It would be difficult but not inconceivable. However, I would save your money or buy something else that will actually have a door that stays closed.

definitely. there are a few bolts you'll have to remove and it helped me to pull the cabinet door off. After that it takes some manuvering but you will be able to do it.

Eek...If I absolutely had to, I'd probably drill in the crack of the door into where the locking bolt is. Either that or a prybar might work.

You have to use some force. At first I could not get it closed but gets easier with use.

Very easy... simply lift up on the door slightly and swing it open. It locks on its own when it swings closed.
