PET DOOR HAVING REMOVABLE DECORATIVE FRAMES

摘要

A pet door having decorative and customizable aesthetic features. The pet door includes subframe assemblies that are connected to each other with fasteners that extend through the aperture defined by the door. Thus, the subframe assemblies are fixed to the door, but it is not necessary to drill or form holes into the door in order to install the pet door. The pet door can be adapted to fit doors of various sizes with a modular core frame. The core frame includes a plurality of core members, each of which has one or more core elements. The core members extend laterally between the first and second subframe assemblies and defining a passageway through the residence door. Decorative frames are releasably attached to the subframe assemblies and can be removed or replaced, whereas the subframe assemblies remain fixed to each other and the door. Decorative frames allow owners to customize pet doors to taste or to match interior and exterior decors. A security panel can be secured to one of the subframe assemblies to substantially prevent animals and intruders from entering the residence through the pet door.
