 Our Pet Door Insert is designed to fit standard sliding doors. It fits sliding doors from 2.0 - 2.1 meters in height (measured from the inside top track to inside of the bottom track). If your sliding glass door height is outside of this range please refer to our customised options on our sizes page or contact us and we will be happy to provide you with a quote for a custom size Pet Door Insert. The following diagrams show two possible ways of installing the Pet Door Insert: 1. Basic installation which is quick and easy and does not require any tools; or
2. Advanced Installation which includes the installation of the Sliding Door Adaptor. This options requires tools, however as it gives you further
convenience we highly recommend it!!
 
You can install the Pet Door Insert without using any tools. It is easy to install, simply follow these four steps: Step 1. Insert the Pet Door Insert into the bottom channel of your glass sliding Door. Step 2. Unscrew the two turn knobs anticlockwise (maximum 2-3 turns) - this will allow you to extend the extendable panel into the top channel of your sliding door. Screw the two turn knobs clockwise to lock the extendable panel in position. Step 3. Included in your delivery package is a weather strip (mohair strip). Insert this into the side channel of your Pet Door Insert that will be in contact with your glass sliding door to prevent any draft. Step 4. Locking options. If you have an existing Patio Bolt you will need to drill an additional hole into your aluminium sliding door frame. If you do not have a Patio Bolt you can purchase one from your local hardware store. For security reasons we recommend that your Patio Bolt is in the top part of your sliding door so that it is not accessible through the flap of the Pet Door Insert. As an alternative to a Patio Bolt some customers use a wooden dowel or broomstick, which is placed into the bottom channel of the glass sliding door. Please note: with the basic installation you must leave your screen door partially open to allow use of the pet flap. Please refer to picture to the right to identify different components of the sliding door and understand how the Pet Door Insert fits. The different colours are used to clearly distinguish between different components of the sliding door.

Patio Link is proud to present our Sliding Door Adaptor. The Sliding Door Adaptor is an optional additional aluminium extrusion which attaches to the side of the Pet Door Insert. The Sliding Door Adaptor will enable the following convenient functions: 1. Sliding Door locking remains unchanged. Your existing door handle will still be used to lock your sliding door. You only have to relocate your door locking dock (this is where your door handle fits in and locks your sliding door). Please see the diagram below. 2. Screen Door remains operational. If you want to have your glass sliding door open and also use your screen door to allow fresh air into your home, you should use the Sliding Door Adaptor. The Sliding Door Adaptor allows you to close the screen door flush against it. This will effectively seal any gaps and prevent the entry of unwanted bugs - whilst the pet flap will remain fully operational. 3. Improved seal between glass sliding door edge and the Pet Door Insert edge. This is great if your sliding door is slightly out of alignment and therefore may not close 100% parallel against the Pet Door Insert. The Sliding Door Adaptor provides a channel for the leading edge of the glass sliding door to fit into, therefore any misalignment is counteracted. 4. The Sliding Door Adaptor acts as a reinforcement column. When installed, the Adaptor interlocks with the sliding door top and bottom channel.
