Pet Doors for Sliding Glass Doors

Patio Pet Doors are panels designed to installed into the opening of your sliding doors. Most often they are installed on the "open" side, and your sliding.

Selecting a manual or electronic model:

Decide whether a manual pet door will work for your situation or if an electronic model would be more appropriate. Many customer believe that an electronic door will seal better...this is false. Electronic pet doors are most often have rigid plastic flaps with a locking mechanism to control access of a pet. Some lock from both directions, most only control pets entering the home. If you want a better sealing pet door, then select a flexible flap (manual) model.

Measuring your slider opening:

Most all models of patio pet doors require that you measure the channel that your slider follows. This measurement is from the VERY BOTTOM of the channel on the floor to the VERY TOP of the slider channel. many customers believe that they have a "standard" or "regular" sliding door height...there is no such thing. Some models require you to measure the actual sliding door instead of the channel...so check the ordering instructions for the model you are ordering.

Locking your sliding door with a patio insert:

There are different locking devices between the different brands of patio inserts. Remember that it is not always best to lock your slider into the patio pet door. All patio inserts are made with aluminum or vinyl extrusion, they are not designed to withstand someone trying to pull open a locked slider. It is far safer to immobilize your slider using a stick or an adjustable brace bar behind the sliding door because it is then nearly impossible to open the slider.
