Abstract

The present disclosure provides for a securable pet door. The securable pet door may comprise at least one door, at least one knob, one or more windows, at least one frame, and/or at least one hinge. The knob may comprise a latch for secure closing. When the pet door comprises at least one hinge, the hinge(s) may be inserted into at least one hinge recess so that the door may be securely locked via at least one locking mechanism. The orientation of the one or more elements of the securable pet door may be predetermined, securable, or customizable. The door may open from, slide into, revolve within, or move in some other non-limiting equivalent way from or relative to the frame. The frame may comprise at least one sensor. When the frame comprises at least one sensor, the sensor(s) may interface with at least one external device, such as a computing device, to actuate the at least one locking mechanism from a remote location.
