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

Can I anchor them to concrete or grass?
