Is this a perminant doggie door or can it be used as a temporary door?

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.

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

It can be permanent or temporary, you have the option of fixing it to the door jam or just removing it at will. This is a great dog door btw.

Both. We've used it as permanent, but are planning to move it to another door when we get our yard finished.

You can put the door on the side, if you are OK with always opening the kennel door IN. The top of the door will be blocked by the side of the tarp roof IF you try to open the door out. Another minor issue, placing the door on the side will also negate using one of the tarp fasteners, but that is probably not a problem. (The roof tarp hangs down about six inches lower on the sides than on the ends.)

I do not have a pet door, thus I am unable to answer your question. Sorry. Nanette

Thank you for your question! This door is designed to close with magnets behind your pet which shouldn't make it easy for insects to enter. For added protection, you can always add an additional flap to the door.

Yes. It comes out easily enough. If you do it daily it might be more likely to break though. I would just put a bar in the door overnight and put in the block for the pet door though. Trips when you take your pet with you or board it/them would be easy to take the door out for.

It's see through mesh. It's a nice feature if your puppy is in there and you need to put something in with him so he can't escape. We love it. Our puppy is in there when we leave our home and at night.

That is the only problem that we have found with this door is that it is difficult to secure the sliding door once the doggie door is in place. My boyfriend bought a sliding glass door lock from Home Depot (its placed along the track of the door) to secure the entry.

I just bought this. The house we are renting already had. Doggy door in the sliding glass door, but rendered the door useless. This is better in my opinion. Just make sure its the right width. And I had to make a small landing for the pups because the window is higher off the ground on the outside.

I doubt it sincerely; mine is for for feral cats. The door would be too small for a 55 lb. dog, I think

Yes, and it is very durable. I like not having a door hanging open to run into, and it stays open for my dog to go into anytime she wants.

It has small vents on one side plus the floor u just set in so u should get some ventilation there., also the door can remain open n has bars on top &#128285; half of the door. I'm sure u can add extra insulation, I contacted them to ask if I could add a water sealant to it n they said it was fine. Hope &#128591; this helps. Good luck! If u look more on amazon I think there's a cooling pad/bed for dogs.

There is only one area that opens for the animal to go through. There is a panel that can be slipped over the part that opens to block from use.The upper section is a stationary window that looks just like the glass on your sliding doors. Construction is like a reg. sliding door only the width needed to allow a small pet to pass through. We like it very much. The remaining space left for humans to pass through is 17.5". We installed it in a bedroom sliding door that is not used too often.

It's absolutely usable outdoors if you're not worried about your dog breaking out. There are flaps for all the mesh windows, except the door. It even comes with stakes for the ground.

That is correct! I am using it on 2 separate doors. Works great. Probably not a long term solution yet if it lasts the summer, I'm good with that. 2 things I did not take into account was that 1. I have a metal door so when I come into the house sometimes the magnet sticks to the door and 2. If the dog is outside and the door is closed, the dog scratches at the door ( effectively scratching through the mesh screen) and I see the screen has small holes from my dogs nails. Still works great though.

Yes. I bought a dog door this summer. I just had to use some silicon filler to fill in some gaps. Door works very well and it's worth the premium price

Hmm. Yes, it is flexible but it is intended to lay flat because of the wires which are inside the mat. Plus it probably wouldn't radiate enough heat. I don't think it will work for your intended use. I'd look at a new dog door. I had a door in my old house in PA so I understand what you want to fix although mine stayed flexible. Hope you can find a solution.

I think the pet door frame would need to be cut down and the frame work is marked for this purpose. We had to cut ours down for a paneled wood door and it worked just fine.
