Can the door be locked if I am traveling and the dog doesn't need to use it?

Yeah the included plastic panel slides into place and then a pin keeps it locked in from the inside.

Yes, there is an inside removable door. I keep the door next to the opening so I can close it off at any time.

If you travel with the top open the only thing that would hold your pet in is connecting his/her leash to a built-in plastic loop inside. It would not be safe to travel this way. However, it is an option if you were to leave your pet in the car for a few minutes.

Yes you only lose the width of the pet door which is stationary,it's well worth it to see your dog go in and out on its own

No, the key is removable in any position, both locked and unlocked. We use ours with the key in the lock since we are constantly in and out through the gate. We do not have our fence it for security ,but rather for the dogs . When I want it securely locked, I have a heavy keyed master lock hanging at the fence by the gate. This one I do not leave the key in.

You can adjust the closing (and thus opening) force. It should be no problem to adjust it such that a dog can push open the door.

Yes, there is a solid plastic panel that can be put in place when the door is not being used. How secure it is would be a matter for the owner to decide. If your dog is large or you have multiple dogs, they might be able to force their way through, since they are used to the door and may hit it at high speed when entering. Never mind the tandem entry method. As to keeping out cats, it should be fine. Now, for burglary issues, you may want to increase the difficulty level.

No,you can't open the door while the lock is engaged. You'll have to remove the lock. It's very easy to remove.

Door does not lock, there is only a plastic cover that slides down to prevent the dog from passing through.

It closes with a zipper but there is no lock! When you zip the front flap and the top cover, unless your dog decides to chew his way out, he will stay in there!

I purchased both, my 3 dogs usr the door. If you lift your pet into the pen, door wo uld not be needed. Given the choice, I would use one with door.

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. Can be locked one way, too, so cat can come in but can't get back out.

Yes if you put the side with the lock on the inside of the door/wall where it is installed. But then any animal will be able to get in, because the magnet would not be required for coming in. Also, the switches to lock/unlock the door would be on the outside.

not quite. My sliding door has a metal piece at the top which does not fit into the gap at the top of the petdoor. If I was more handy, I could probably cut the metal piece that causes the blockage in the pet door; however, this is just for balcony access, so I don't have to worry about locking the door.

If the door is locked you will need a key whether indoors or outdoors, however, if it isn't locked then no you wouldn't need a key. You must have the key to lock it with though whether indoors or out.

Yes, only when you are outside it can be shut all the way. No from when I'm inside, the doggy door does not allow the door to close the entire way.

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