The best way to secure a pet door is with a Watchdog Security Locking Pet Door Cover.
Are you worried about the security of your home with an unsecured pet door, or worse, have you avoided installing a pet door because of the possible security risk? Watchdog Security Pet Doors has developed an answer. You will never have to worry about the security of your pet door again.
This product is a heavy-duty 12-gauge steel frame and cover with a combination lock that goes OVER your existing pet door, on the outside of your home.
When you want your pet to have access, the Watchdog Security Pet Door Locking Cover can be left open. When you want security, the steel door can be closed and the combination lock engaged. Now your pet door is secure and no longer a security risk. Simple!
Please Note: The Watchdog Locking Pet Door Cover does not come with a pet door. It goes over an existing pet door, to secure it. The images showing a pet door with the Watchdog Security cover are only to demonstrate how well the cover works with existing pet doors.
Please note also that Watchdog Security Covers DO NOT work with pet doors built into sliding glass door inserts - only wall- or door-mount pet doors. Choose your installation type from the menu when purchasing.
Key Features
- Currently available ONLY in white; the cover can be easily painted over to match a wall or door.
- The combination lock is set by you to a unique security code. Don’t forget it! There’s no way to unlock this steel cover without that code.
- There is a special version with special bolting hardware for installation on a (human) door and another version for installation on a wall.
- The Watchdog Security Pet Door Locking Cover is securely fastened with heavy hardware designed for door or wall use.
- A durable UV powder coated finish resists scratching, rust, and the elements.
- When you want your pet to have access, you leave this security door open. You have a choice of opening directions. "Left" means that the hinges are on the left when outside looking at the security door. "Right" means that the hinges are on the right side. However, this neat design allows you to lift the steel cover off its hinges when the door is open so you can set it aside entirely. When the door is closed, the cover hinges are locked in place by the steel frame.
Watchdog Pet Door Locking Cover Installation Guide
Note that Watchdog recommends that the door be bolted onto the outside (not the inside) of your door or wall for a few reasons:
- Mounted outside, the potential intruder is immediately confronted with a steel barrier and is likelier to not even attempt anything. Those bolts, by the way, can’t be removed from the outside.
- The outside of a wall is typically much stronger than the drywall interior side. It’s better to have something sturdy to bolt into. Of course, if you can hit the studs from the inside that’s going to be sturdy as well.
- Because of the typical locking cover on the inside of the pet door, more clearance is needed for the steel door. There may not be enough room for an inside install.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Can this be installed over an aluminum siding exterior? It’s not a flat surface so I question the ability to create a tight seal against the exterior of the house. I really need something that will give me peace of mind when away with my dog and the plastic door that came with the Pet Safe dog door isn’t that something. Thank you.
Most likely yes, you just need to probably calk in the gaps if you want a tight seal.

What does the other side of the door look like? I don’t see any pics of that.
The Watchdog Steel Security Pet Door Cover is a 12 gauge steel w/ steel lock. The MOST secure metal dog door security cover & fits on top of all major brands! This is only meant to mount directly on the exterior of your existing doggy door, so the back of it is flat and will be flush to whatever surface you mount it to.

In some situations, rush orders may be available. Please contact us at cs@petprosupplyco.com or 1-855-PET-PRO1 to verify total fulfillment time for your order.

Transit time after shipment: please add 2-5 days for lighter and smaller items shipped via regular carrier (Fedex, UPS, USPS) and add 5-10 days for heavier items shipped via LTL freight truck. Transit time depends on distance from the point of origin. All of our items ship from inside the United States. Please note the times below are listed in business days.
Our policy for free shipping on orders over $499:

Shipping Confirmation
We ship from warehouses all across the country, depending on the item(s) ordered and your location. Depending on the physical size of your order, items will ship either by freight or a regular parcel carrier such as USPS, Fed Ex, or UPS.
LTL FREIGHT SHIPPING INFORMATION
LTL (less-than-truckload) Freight is used when shipments are 120 lb+ or for oversized equipment, which results in a truck with a large container delivering your order. Our freight carrier will contact you once your order makes it to the distribution center closest to the delivery address specified, and set up an appointment time for delivery.
Pet Pro Supply Co. Free LTL Freight Shipping - Curbside Delivery
Our standard Free Freight Shipping option for LTL deliveries is curbside, which is to a delivery to a Commercial Address and does not include a liftgate. If your order is to be shipped freight, you will have the option to specify whether the item will be delivered to a Residential, Limited Access, or Commercial address. If there is no option to select a shipping location, then this cost is already included in the price.
We strongly recommend adding the optional Liftgate for all deliveries to locations without a loading dock or forklift.
Freight Delivery Locations
This option specifies whether the delivery location is a Commercial, Residential, Residential Business, or a Limited Access address.
- Commercial - These addresses are those defined by our freight carriers and/or zoned by local municipalities as commercial sites. Typically these addresses are zoned as commercial real estate or are used exclusively for business. Most commercial sites have tractor-trailer access and a loading dock.
- Residential - If the address used a residence, select this option. This includes Apartment/Condo complexes and dormitories.
- Residential Business - Any business being operated from a home, apartment, or other dwelling where people live on the premises is considered to be a Residential Business.
- Limited Access - Locations where deliveries are restricted, limited, or very far from a distribution center. Examples include:
- Place of Worship
- Restricted Areas - Secure Research Facilities, Military Bases/Installations, Correctional Facilities, Government Buildings
- Farms, Ranches, and Rural Areas
- Recreational Areas - Camps, Parks, Fairs, Carnivals, etc.
- Individual Storage Units
- Sites - Convention Centers, Construction Sites, Mines
- Schools and Universities
- Commercial establishments not open to the walk-in public during normal business hours
- Farms, Ranches, and Rural Areas
- Recreational Areas - Camps, Parks, Fairs, Carnivals, etc.
- Individual Storage Units
- Sites - Convention Centers, Construction Sites, Mines
- Schools and Universities
- Commercial establishments not open to the walk-in public during normal business hours
Freight Liftgate
A liftgate is a hydraulic lift that is attached to the back of a truck that can lower freight to ground level. Freight carriers prevent their drivers from assisting with the unloading of heavy equipment other than using a liftgate to ground level.
We highly recommend any delivery address without a loading dock, select this option.
However, please know that for certain very long items, such as kennels over 6' in length, a Liftgate will not be able to bring the entire order down to ground level. Please have the necessary manpower available to receive your items with limited delay to the driver.
