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.

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.

I don't know the dimensions of the door, however, it should easily work for a small to medium size dog. I discovered by accident that there are two ways to use the door. With the product label facing right side up, there is about 6" from the bottom edge of the pen to the bottom of the door. If you turn it upside down, the top of the door rests right on the floor, which works great for my dog to easily walk in and out. I have also folded back a few of the panels to make a smaller pen for a nice sleeping area for my puppy without having to take out the panels. My year old pup couldn't quite be trusted with the run of the house at night, and this has proven to solve the problem very nicely.

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.

yes and it is easy to install work ok unless you place it in a door that the wind directly hits it all the time. I placed it in my door that faced south and i live on a hill and it blow open during really heavy hailing or windy rainy days but i still like the door and my dog love it, he can look outside without going out there and it is easy for him to push it open.

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.

This is a hard one to answer. It could be pulled off of a door by a determined dog. It does hold pretty well.

Has an additional (sliding) door that is only secure enough to keep dogs or other animals from entering.

We have a schnoodle, about 18 lbs, and a smaller maltipoo, and the door is big enough for them to practicality go through side by side. In fact, we have a toddler (24 lbs) and he has used the doggie door with no issues. The flap measurement is accurate. I would suggest cutting a hole in a cardboard box the correct size, and testing it with your dog. I do suggest that you be ready to purchase additional weatherstripping, as what's included is inadequate.

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.

I would sure think so. The door is made of Lexan do it's very stout. The only way they could get in is with the dog and his collar.

Yes, if you need to remove it frequently such as to move large objects or roll something through. It is more secure with the cups installed. We use ours to control doggy access to various parts of the house. I would hesitate to leave the gate unsecured if a larger child or animal might push it out of the doorway.

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.

It has a plastic cover that slides in from the top on the inside of the door. It is very secure as far as pets being able to get out or unwanted animals getting in. It could be broken into from the outside by kicking it in. But most home doors can be broken into with little increase in force. They have lasted me about seven +/- years. I am on my third door in 16 years. They crack over time. They have lasted much longer than the flexible doors for me and I would never use anything else. I have two dogs that use them 24/7.

There is a doggie door for a small dog to fit through (under 20 pounds) and there is also a latch where the gate disconnects so you can fold it up and that you can walk through.

That is actually just another opening/entrance for the pet to use. It is kind of like a small zippered door. There is plenty of ventilation on this item.
