Pet doors are handy, but they can leave a gap in your home security.
Pick a size that fits your pet and no bigger, and use the locking panel at night or when you’re away. Also check where the door sits. A pet door next to a deadbolt or k**b lock can let someone reach in and unlock it.
If your lock is close to the pet door, moving or upgrading the lock can help.
