  • Lockable, keyed paddle latch will keep pet safe from theft.
  • Heavy-duty stainless steel piano hinge eliminates droop over time.
  • Great ventilation on the door enabling owner to still see the pet, but small enough that most dogs can not chew on the mesh.
  • Heavy-duty north and south button lock hatch on door enables extra security for aggressive dogs. Fully Stainless steel, able to open/close with one hand
  • Slammable door with no pin system or two-handed operations. Simply put the dog in the kennel and close the door with one hand. No sweat!
  • Enough holes for ventilation, but also able to accommodate insulated covers in cold weather environments.
  • Military-grade design and material that’s sturdy and impact resistant. Materials used in the most rugged designs in Military operations.

  • Heavy duty but light enough to move easily.
  • Drainage hole for easy cleaning. No scrubbing, simply turn over the empty kennel and hose it out.
  • Mike Ritland approved.

    What type of material is the handle?

    Each kennel door comes with a strong, lockable stainless steel handle. Inside the handle is a stainless steel spring that helps keep the latch closed, so your dog can’t push the door open. It’s safe and secure, but still easy to open with one hand. You can also add a padlock or clasp for extra security if needed.

    Are these kennels easy to assemble?

    Your kennel ships with easy assembly instructions, covering all essential components:

    • Kennel panel setup
    • Panel-to-panel coupling
    • Handle & quick-lock latch installation
    • Top mesh panels (if applicable)
    • Isolation panels (if applicable)
    • Back-to-back panel configurations
