Can you still lock your door when using the panel?

Anyone ever install infront (outside of house) of the sliding door. Where your sliding screen would be. This would allow your glass sliding door to shut as normal. I picture adding my own brush sweep along the vertical edge to help with air lose. Comments and pictures would be helpful.

I use a pin lock to secure my door when leaving it open for the pet door. Window Guard Pin Lock Set for Sliding Doors and Windows - Extra-Long 3-1/2" Pin

Yes..but you must drill tiny holes in your sliding door frame. If you live where you do not want to do that...you could put a 2x4 in the door frame on the left, so no one could slide your glass door. I did that..because it feels even more secure.That is just my own opinion. Watch a couple of You Tube videos online that show installation process, and it will help you decide if it is what you want. Hope this helps. I love these doors. I used to have one for my dog..and now I use it so my indoor cat can go out on the porch.

Yes you can. You install this to the outside rail then the other door slides right passed it.

no ,the panel goes between the frame and the door that is there. The panel is screwed into the sliding door frame on the top bottom and one side. The outer side is attached to the slider with a latch kit that is provided

Yes, you can lock the bldg. A lock is not built in, so you would have to use your own lock but the door handle does accommodate a lock.

No. I can't think why that would be necessary. It is either locked or unlocked set on the door itself.

Yes. You need a bit of room on either side of the closure (door/frame) for the metal plate. If there is wood-trim too close to the edge it will be slightly loose but still effective. The idea is to prevent casual entry, to make noise if tampered with, and to slow down a thief while the alarm is ringing. Most thieves want to be in and out in minutes and this adds another problem to their navigation.

I'm sure you could put a lock on it, but the panels are just fabric/screen and could easily be cut open so I don't see the point

Whenever you shut the door, it's locked and a code is required to unlock it. You'd have to block the door open to keep it unlocked.

Yes. The top of the panel has a spring on it so you just slide the panel into place and push the spring down until it fits into the top of the door. We love ours. It has worked perfectly. Sturdy and well-designed. Very, very easy to put into the door opening.

Yes, Katie, you can lock the window with small screw down clamps that fit in the side channels. Very easy to install with an ordinary screwdriver. Window will be as secure as it was before installing pet door, and you'll hardly notice the clamps.

Yes you can lock the screen, I have never used the feature but it is there.

Not really, it would still be easy to disengage the latch even if you removed the inside latch knob. Besides, you don't really want to lock someone in, just keep people out!

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.

Yes. You can leave the door open however, it will close if hit. You can also close it without it catching.

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.

Yes. It has double flexible flaps several inches apart and also a firm plastic panel to close off door completely. The firm panel does not lock

Just closing it should lock it, but you may want to check the "security level" settings. There is high, low, and off. If it's "off" there won't be any security. The security level can by set by clicking the button with a lock under it.

No. Its not necessarily a lock. Its a piece of plastic that slides to the middle to stop the door from opening. There is a (maybe) 6 inches piece of plastic that hangs down on one side to make it easier to slide it. Depending on how tall you are if you could reach close to the top to slide it then you will be fine.

No. That is not an option on the door I have. The screen door is not solid enough and wouldn't offer the security needed.
