Does this have the locking door for when the owners and dogs are gone? If so, is it flimsy or pretty secure?

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.

Thank you for your question! This particular door comes with a hard plastic closing panel which slides down into place on the indoor side of the door frame to block the opening off.

We didn't like the style of the door and sent it back. I can't remember if it had a lock or not-sorry

The flap is hard plastic and has a 2 way lock. This door does not have a security panel, which would make it more secure than just the two way lock system.

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

I have these doors. They do indeed lock. I get lots of compliments on the doors and wife feels a bit safer. Reason for the lock is so no one can steal the doors.

The doors (there are 2) are really solid. So for each door there are 8 hooks (4 on top, 4 on bottom) and you actually lift the door up when you close it so that the hooks can latch to the frame of the cage. That is all i do to keep my great dane in there, but she is crate trained and doesnt try to escape. but if you need more security Then there is a latch that you can use to latch the door and there is a place to put a lock if needed. Will the crate hold a wild wolf. Probably not. It is solid, but I could see potential of a large aggressive animal bending some areas. If your dog has some domestication. I think this crate works just perfectly. If it where any more heavy duty- it would be too heavy to move around ( it folds flat so we take this crate on vacations with us)

We take ours in and out as needed. The install kit comes with a weatherstripping flap so the door can be moved. There is also a linkage to allow locking of the door to the panel so there is some security. We only remove it if we're having a party and need the door. Use a large stick in bottom track to keep door secure. Love the door and so does our dog!

There's a Plexiglas panel that slides into place and is held in with a pin. This makes it VERY secure. It's not as 100% secure as a metal door would be, but pretty close IMHO.

Yes it does. The door rolls up, and when you want to close it, it rolls down and zip down each side. Not sure if it's lockable, if that's where you're headed with this question, but I imagine a padlock arrangement could be set up.

There is no locking mechanism. You slide it under the door when it's shut. If someone opens the door its pushes down on the flap and the alarm sounds.

Unfortunately no it doesn't have either. Although it is sturdy enough to cut a slot in the door I don't know if it would lock securely for you.

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

I have the problem with my medium size cat using it. While the side and bottom are secure, the other corner not secure tore my screen and it became wobbly after a while.While this is cheap, it worked for me. If you have a sliding patio door, I'd look into get one of the more expensive doors you put in and slide closed on. I bought one for a friend and's perfect for his dogs. He just puts it into place over the summer and his dogs can come and go all day long.

My husband put this gate up because we have a dog, and I liked the design. Also because I wusnted something that would swing open. The easy lach is a big plus. But we have it installed at the top of the stairs. We have a new grand baby, and my concern, is when she gets old enought to crawl/ walk. Is the latch going to be strong enought to keep the gate from breaking open ? I don't want it to be something I have to worry about, her falling doun the stairs. It's screwed into the studs of the doorway on both sides. But I need answeres. Thanks Tammy

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

The door handles do have holes through them that would let you put a lock on (not included). Of course, in this case, the whole shed is plastic including the handles, so it's not going to be very secure, regardless of a padlock on the handles. I believe, if I tried with both hands, I could rip a door off the shed from the hinge side. Don't get me wrong, I like the shed, but it's just not built for security. Just good for keeping odds and ends out of the weather.

yes, there is a piece you can slide in and out to lock it. It's shown on the picture, and it is removable. This is a great 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.

Absolutely! This is a very sturdy lock and you won't need to worry about your pet getting past this one.

It has a ledge that it ia suspended from. This is really great because you completely remove the door when loading or unloading the machine. It is secure when placed on the ledge. Mine has never fallen off or been dislodged when bumped or mOved. Hope this helps!
