Would it be possible to flip the door panel, so that it is flush with the ground? My Corgi wouldn't be able to step inside...too high of a step over.

You may be able to do this if you put something under the panels next to the upside-down door panel so that it doesn't drag on the ground. I think it could work.

I pulled mine out to give it a try for you. You can flip that whole panel and put the rest together right side up. When opening the door/gate. The now bottom will probably rub on the floor/ground so I wouldn't recommend you do it on a surface you don't want scratched. I hope this answer helps with your decision of buying. I love mine. Good luck.

Hi, I also have a 61" opening and 3 shelties. To change the angle of the side panels you need to lift straight up (hold the center piece down) and then you can change the angle for a secure fit. I have mine set up so that the side pieces angle in toward the room where I confine the dogs. I've had mine for several months. My only complaint is that one of the feet (which is perpendicular to the gate) kept getting accidentally kicked as people would turn the corner (it broke the first week). It does a good job confining my shelties and the wood looks nice in our home.

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

If the height of your dog is almost 3 feet. The opening of the house is probably going to be the issue. Also, the width will most likely be too narrow for your dog to turn around in. In addition, it may also be too light which may result in wind movement. From the peices that I did receive, it is a quality product that is easy to put together. IT MAY BE WORTH A TRY. Amazon return was wonderful, especially with pick-up from UPS.

The dog shouldn't have to duck. You install the pet door slightly above the bottom of the door frame, or about the distance from the ground to the bottom of your dog's chest or belly. Your dog steps over the bottom of the door. So as long as your dog's torso fits easily through the door and you hang it at the proper height, your dog should have no problem going through.

Hi Chloe - The center access panel is pretty much a stiff piece of cardboard (or whatever is enclosed in canvas). If the dog is large and pushy enough, it can probably find a way to get past anything blocking the front seat gap. If the dog is respectful of visual barriers and doesn't try to jump over it, this might do the trick.

I am not sure that the door would open wide enough. Also, the ramp might me a little to tall. I use it for a miniature dachshund to climb into the bed. It works very well but the material is a little slippery.

Unless your dog has opposable thumbs it won't be able to open this gate. There is a latch on top of the gate that prevents it from being lifted up.

The panel does not fit great into the given slots. But you can wedge it into slot and get it to work. Our door is in the wall and the locking panel is hard to get in. It is actually slightly too large for the area its supposed to fit into.But it does keep the weather outside and latches closed pretty tightly. Our cat used to use the dog door but does not anymore since it is too heavy for him to push against.

Possibly. Mine was too rigid for y pets to feel comfortable using and when it got windy it flew open. I prefer the pliable version of these doors.

You "could" but the gates are not designed to connect. Also the hinges tend to be very loose, to elaborate if you look at the product picture that dog could easily push his way through that gate unless you faced it the other way. If you connected two without some connection mechanism (Screw, Tape) I would image the same thing could happen.

We choose to keep the gate on the floor, even with the bottom pressure plates only partially on the trim.We did think about potentially raising the entire gate off of the floor, however then you would loose the stability point on the floor.If we decide to get fancy we may decide to fabricate a little jig (e.g. 2 small boards) that would fit over the trim to create a flat surface.Thirdly you could potentially mount the top pressure mounts with the include cups if needed, while leaving the lower pressure plates as is.

Possible but not easy. Would have to remove glass at least partially and built wooden filler panel with doggie door opening. Incidentally, we have discovered method to rivet electronic sensor to collar which works beautifully. Our two dogs are extremely active outdoors, wrestle one another etc. and zero problems with lost sensors.

I tried to do that but it made it unstable with my 12 pound dog inside ...wobbly if she moved..top quality item tho

That is an interesting question. I put the switch in the master bathroom and the dogs are never in that area. My guess is that it is too high to set off the switch. Good luck.

Hi Nancy. Once that door drops (closes) - it isn't opening up, being pushed in, out - or other wised open; unless done so with the collar - or manually through the panel.

It would probably be perfect to do since u have two seperate doors top and bottom.. accept i would not know who to call on that one.. some one handy with metals... they are only like small platforms.. I had thought myself if there was acway to get a complete full one so it would give louie-ferrett, more room to lay.. he likes to stretch out and sometimes on his back with his feet in the air.. there has got to be a way.. but someone who is handy and fixit person..
