Guillotine Closure for X-Large Dog Door
Guillotine Style Extra-Large Pet Door Closing Panel
The guillotine style extra-large pet door closing panel is designed to give you fast, reliable control over your dog’s access to the inside or outside. With a vertical sliding design, this panel moves smoothly within mounted side tracks, allowing you to quickly block the opening whenever needed.
Unlike a traditional drop-in closure, the guillotine-style panel remains installed above the dog door opening. When access is restricted, simply slide the panel downward to seal the opening. When access is allowed, raise the panel and secure it in the open position—keeping it conveniently stored overhead rather than removing and relocating the panel.
Why Choose the Guillotine Style Panel?
- Instant access control: Quickly block your dog’s entry or exit without removing hardware.
- Overhead storage: When not in use, the panel stores neatly above the dog door within the track system.
- Ideal for frequent use: Perfect for kennels, hunting dog setups, and high-traffic environments.
- Secure vertical seal: Provides dependable containment when lowered into position.
Recommended for Colder, Northern Climates
We recommend the guillotine dog door closing panel over the drop-in closure kit for colder, northern climates. Because the panel remains mounted within its track system, it offers a tighter, more consistent seal during extreme winter conditions.
- Helps reduce cold air drafts and wind infiltration.
- Minimizes heat loss during freezing temperatures.
- Provides a convenient solution when frequent open/close cycles are needed in harsh weather.
This system is also ideal for customers who have extra vertical space above the dog door opening. The added height allows the guillotine panel to store safely and conveniently overhead when raised, eliminating the need to remove and store a separate drop-in panel.
For kennel operators, sporting dog owners, and homeowners in colder regions, the guillotine-style extra-large closing panel offers a practical, durable, and climate-conscious solution for managing dog door access year-round.
