I spoke to someone at Precision Pets today and they told me the door of the pen cannot be opened with the top in place. Is this true?

No that is not true. The door to the pen can be opened with the top on. At least the model that I have. The panel that contains the door is larger than the door itself so it can be opened. I don't recall if my actual kennel is a precision pet kennel or a brand of similar size. I did not but the kennel and the top at the same time. I realized I needed the top when my min pin figured out how to climb out!Good luck. I hope that helps.

When you hook the top on, you just have to make sure you don't place a hook at the door opening.

It depends on the pen you have. If you have a pen that has a door within one of the panels, that door can be opened. If the pen doesn't have a door, then you might be able to place the clips on seven of the panels, so that you could be able to open/close the eighth panel.

I have NO Problems opening my door with the top in place. Make SURE that you are NOT securing the top TO THE DOOR, but on the corners of the fence and/or in the middle of each section that is NOT the doorway. I LOVE my top to the fence and have no problems what-so-ever. Hope this helps. Good luck

Great video. That's the same sound. Perfect too as I was just thinking about doing something like this and inspected the bottom of the unit. The hello kitty model must be sealed shut in the factory as it's quite a different shape compared to some of the other animals.... There are no screws or openable areas at all! I even removed the four rubber feet, thinking there would be a screw underneath each one- no dice. Absolutely no way to get inside. I am tempted to cut it open with a dremel.

Yes, although a clever cat/dog could probably expand it back open completely. It doesn't"lock" in a rectangular shape.

The top and bottom both have sliding doors that lead into the joined pen. Rabbits are pretty smart especially when they want to breed. I would add a little latch on the sliding doors if you want to make sure they are separated. We also built a lean-to onto our garage to keep the hutch out of the rain and brushed it with water sealer. Looks brand new still. This is the best one we found, it's very good quality for a good price. We have one big rabbit in ours and leave the sliding doors open. With the doors open he goes out in the pen to potty and then you can use the blower to blow it clean and add new wood chips, lol. Makes it much easier.

How open is it? If the lock is not in the correct setting for your preferred use, it does not completely close. However, if it is open a sizable distance, I would say it is defective. Ask for a replacement. When properly working, it is a really great door. My cats love it and I am pleased with it.

I think my SureFlap door would click open when my cat put his head about 2 inches from the door. And no, I never had any problems with it not opening. But mine is in the trash because the raccoons kept going thru it to get to the cat's food and after awhile the cat wouldn't use it any more. Be sure to get the raccoon-proof model, if you buy it! It was a good idea but mine turned out to be a waste if money.

Yes, the pet door locks in position. Your slider works as always. They provide a new locking mechanism for itb but I chose to just use a piece of PVC in the track to secure it.

The stylus does not have this option, it unscrews at the top portion and the pen is inside.

Mine isn't available to me right now....but if I remember correctly I just grabbed the inside bottom (where pet sits)in my palm and pulled up....then it just started to collapse....hope that helps.

The door is probably not a major issue, as you can open any of the joints easily by pulling the hinge rod, and I regularly do that to get into the pen to change water, bedding, and so forth. If you have enough hinge rods it should be possible to make two pens that way.

Yes. The difficulty will be in cutting through the door. There are cutout dimensions provided with the pet door. Also, there is a sliding door that locks in place over the pet door. A big plus when you want to restrict the use of the door.Unless you're really good at cutting through metal and doing so without tearing your fingers up, I'd recommend having a handyman who has the proper tools and knowledge cut the hole. Mine cost $50 to cut through a steel door.This is the best pet door on the market. The fact that it has a clear door makes it possible for your pet to see outside before going through the door. The other company's door is opaque, so your pet can't tell if it's walking into a safe area or not. Yes. The difficulty will be in cutting through the door.

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.

No. You fasten to the pen top w/clips. I prefer more clips, so I purchased more at Home Depot. Pen w/top is great security against birds of prey (hawks & eagles) that have tried to "scoop up" my tiny chihuahuas.I NEVER leave my dogs in the yard unattended...... Even with the pen top.....Hope this helps.....

Our puppy was a boxer/lab mix and has some fairly long spindly legs. He had no difficulty accessing the pen. On the 40" tall panel pen the gate door transom is about 8 inches high. Hope this helps. I t is an excellent, quality, product.

Hmmm... interesting question! It looks to me as though it isn't intended to be removed. I haven't attempted to remove it. I think it is just part of the pen. That's my opinion on the matter.

Mine had 2 plastic black tabs. One is to lock from the inside bottom and the other for the outside. But I did not use them. What is the sense of locking the door??? How is the dog supposed to use it then if it's locked? The door stays closed without latching them. If you notice on the bottom there are 2 slots. If you want to lock it, I'm sure you can put anything thru them and it will do the trick. Don't worry about it. I just hope your pet likes the door. My dog still will not go thru it. She makes me open the door. :)

Debski, the top zips on , so when it is all zipped up, it is secure. Our dogs are puppies now, so of course the chew everything. Not a fault of the playpen, BUT, they have chewed up and destroyed one of the door zippers. I managed to zip it shut and leave it that way, using only the one side now. They are getting over the chewing problem, but beware, as good as this little playpen is, the zipper will not long withstand puppy teeth. For some reason, they like the teeth in the zipper... otherwise it is a great little play pen.
