Can this door be locked to not let the cat out at times

Yes, you can set that manually with the knob at the bottom left.3 positions: in & out, in only, fully locked.

Yes, the door has 4 states: 1. automatic(normal)- free exit and only chipped cats entry, 2. exit only, 3. entry only, 4. locked
1131613
Yes, there is a dial on the unit that you can turn to the closed position. This is great if you need to have your cats inside especially at night.

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

I'm not really sure. If you mean when it's locked, no it couldn't. The locks disengage when a chipped pet nears the door and blocks the mirror at the bottom. My cats have no problem but they are heavier than your dog. I think it would work but you should check with the manufacturer.

Yes, your cats can get out through the door. Some people use these doors for their cats. I know someone who uses the item for both their cat and dog.I love this door tremendously but your cats would use it also most likely.

It is not lockable, it has two latches on the door. You would need to add a separate hasp and lock.

Yes, I contacted the manufacturer and they were able to send me an attachment that prevented the cat from doing this free of charge! It's a small plastic door that screws in over the chute so cat can't get their paw inside.

The mechanics of the door make for very smooth opening and closing--in fact, the design is patented. But it's also a little heavier than the conventional pet door. I think a cat could push through without much difficulty, though I haven't actually seen one doing that (we're an all-dog household). You might want to contact the manufacturers and see what kind of feedback they've gotten from the cat people out there.

I think most cats would be able to sneak through the bottom corners. The opening on the bottom corners is a little bit wider. Also, all cats I've ever owned could probably jump over this gate.

There is a plastic panel that slides in from the top to prevent access to the door. It will stop your cat or dog from running in and out but will not stop someone from breaking in.

It is a two way door. At the bottom of the door, there should be two plastic switches. One is red snd the other is green. The green one lockes the door so the cat can't get out. The other locks the door so the cat can't get in.if you push both switches to the middle, the cats can come and go. If you push the switches towards the outside, then the previous applies.

YES to both questions! We lock it around 10 pm, so that the cats can come in, (if they're still out), but they can't go out again. We unlock it in the morning. (You can even set it to lock and unlock at specific times if you are not going to be home to manually do it). It is BY FAR the BEST item we've EVER bought for our cats! We have three that use it and it has REALLY been FANTASTIC! We're getting ready to buy two more for other family members. Our cats are large, so we bought the larger of the two sizes and it's perfect!

Depends on how clever and devoted to getting outside the cat is. I had a normal dog door for 3 years with my 2 indoor cats remaining inside no matter how much the dog used it. One day the clever cat I have fogured out the old, non-locking, door. I bought this to try n keep him in. But once he saw the dog still using it he caught on to the unlock noise and just follows the dog. I have to leave it locked now and it used the batteries to keep it locked... on the other hand.l our second cat never figuered out the door. Powered or standard. Ultimately it comes down to the cat. Hope this helps;)

It does lock, but with enough force my cats can push it open anyways. We use it for the garage door since we keep their boxes there. So not really a problem for us. But i do not recommend it for exterior. If a cat can push it open, i bet a raccoon would find it elementary.

No, the door swings open by pushing on it, but you need the magnet to get the door to open back up to come in. So if your cat goes out he will not be able to come back in without magnet. My cat never goes by it cause of the noise, but I have a shy cat. Sounds like you need the expensive door that slides open with the collar on, those are sweet but expensive. Good Luck

No, it just latches. You can "set" it to remain unlatched with a hex key from the inside, but there is no typical key to lock the door.

Probably not. I like it as it always my dogs to go in and out without any help. Do not have cats but see no problem with them getting around the screen door.

I can, because the cat door has a way of staying put, so it doesn't just fall out when you slide open a door. It has worked out well for me. I like the way you can control the in/out activity. I'd recommend the door.

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.
