yup...and I have one I'd give you for free....but we're miles apart. Made of lightweight aluminum. mine has plastic glass panel about 2/3 height....doggie flap on bottom 18 inches. maybe 12 inches wide. mine was designed to be used with sliding glass door or screen.
about $110 @ TSC. Works fine. held up well with 100# dog going in and out constantly
i have one of those in my basement. If you were closer I’d give it to you.
I always looked at doggie doors as to not being restricted to dogs.
In reply to iceracer :
My dog would skull-berkeley anyone or anything that dared to enter.
The best doggie doors are the electronic ones where the dog wears a collar that identifies him/her as authorized to enter the door and the door lock opens and allows the pet to enter or leave. All other animals can't.

That got an honest-to-goodness LOL out of me. Our Rott-mix mutt would do the same.
Today the greyhound decided he wanted to join my wife and other dog outside. Too bad he doesn't know how to open the screen door. It had the no tear material on it, the good stuff, to keep paws from going through. We put that stuff on cause our previous greyhound put his head through that.
Silly greyhounds.
In reply to vwcorvette :
My lab/golden mix used to do that, so I upgraded to the no tear stuff as well. It worked great until I got a chessie who decided that if she couldn't go through the screen that she'd pull the door off the hinges instead. You would've thought that at some point during that process she would've realized that dhe could now pass thtthro the door being ajar, but once a chessie starts a job...
We have a flap door in the screen door... flap is just a plastic outline that snaps together from both sides of the screen,and then cut the screen to free the door.
We installed it when we moved into this house 18 years ago, and now we're on our 3rd Labrador retriever.
Never had any issues with other critters coming into the house, including other dogs.
All it takes to train the dog is coaxing them thru a couple times using treats.

Reading your description, I can see exactly what you have and I believe I can duplicate that for about a buck two eighty. Thank you!
Here's a photo of it...
Better picture in daylight...
yep, exactly what i envisioned. thanks!
I recently installed a door with a doggie door in my sunroom. It's in a regular door and not a sliding door, but it was entertaining training the dog to use it after previously teaching her that she needs to wait for permission to go through doors.

Was that a kit that you purchased somewhere? if so, linky?
thanks!
Anyone have an experience with the dog doors that replace one of the sliding glass door panels? I have an insert that goes in the track so the pooches can use it any time of day but it restricts how far I can open the door now and I'm just BARELY skinny enough. I admit though, it's funny watching my girlfriend get her tits stuck.

I had a similar thingy for years. Will testify they stand up to anything. It ain't pretty, but it works.
