The motion detector lighting is installed, now.  I've been looking for
sturdier doors, but can't seem to find any that look very robust.  The
auto open/close doors are made of plastic and look easy to break.  I
like the idea of contacting the interior door, but then again that
requires not allowing the dog to get out and in that case I might as
well board up the door.
