Your skimmer door is called a weir. A weir is a pivoting flap, door or dam in a skimmer that keeps bugs and leaves from re-entering a pool or spa by collecting the debris in a basket while letting water recycle through the filter system.
A skimmer weir is the plastic flap and the opening of the skimmer. It traps leaves that are pulled into the skimmer when the pump is running and then holds the leaves in the skimmer whne the pump shuts down
Yes, the skimmer flap should be removed when closing a pool for winter. Removing it helps prevent water from freezing and causing damage to the skimmer and plumbing lines. Additionally, it allows for proper water drainage, reducing the risk of ice expansion that could crack the skimmer. Always ensure the skimmer is properly winterized to protect your pool equipment.
To install a pool skimmer in a grain bin pool, first, ensure the bin is cleaned and free of debris. Cut an opening in the sidewall of the bin, ensuring it's positioned at the waterline for optimal skimming. Install the skimmer according to the manufacturer's instructions, securing it tightly to prevent leaks. Finally, connect the skimmer to the filtration system to maintain clean water.

A cat flap is at the bottom of a door and it is used for cats to get in and out of the house instead of having to open the door every time.
You might have debris stuck between the wier and the skimmer mouth. Or your deck or bond beam may have shifted slightly causing the wier (skimmer door) to stick. You might be able to shave a little off the sides of the wier to allow it to work.
