The Hale Pet Door Omni Window Model pet door
is designed to fit in vertically-sliding double hung or single hung
windows. It is offered in dual pane glass and with double
vinyl flaps for increased performance in severe climate areas.
A dual pane, single flap version is also available
though not recommended by the manufacturer. It would make the most
sense in a very sheltered area and in the smaller sizes where the
lost insulation value would be small.
Here are the factory
specifications including a description of the adjustment mechanism:
-
Frame: Designed
to fit into a window track 7/8” or wider but can be factory
modified to fit tracks as small as ½”.
-
Adjusting Mechanism:
Two 4” x 5/16-18 pan head bolts and four 5/16-18 jam nuts. The
top two nuts hold the bolts tightly. The bottom two nuts, when
adjusted downward, effect a sideways jackscrew type motion
allowing the unit to be tightly secured within the window track
without the use of screws. This mechanism is the same as that
used on the Hale Omni Panel for sliding glass doors.
-
Sliding Plate:
1/16” x 4 ½” tall plate on both the inner and outer sides of the
adjustment area, color coordinated to frame color. Plate can be
lowered to make adjustment and raised to cover mechanism when
adjustment is complete.
-
Glass: Double
pane insulated tempered glass standard.
-
Pile Weather
Stripping: Top and bottom edges of window unit contain dense
5/16” gray nylon pile weather stripping. Nylon is woven into a
.270 wide and 1/32” thick nylon backing. This weather stripping
greatly reduces the amount of air that can pass through the flap
particularly in the double flap version.
-
No Metal Contact:
Both side edges are covered with 3/32” vinyl booties to provide
cushioning and no metal contact.
-
Vinyl Weather
stripping: Unit also comes with extra length of 1 7/8” x
1/16” black vinyl weather stripping to attach to back edge of
your window to prevent air leakage.
To this list we should add that
this door comes with the normal Hale 3/16"
Lexan (polycarbonate) locking cover mounted from the side so as to
avoid any conflict with the sliding window. As always, a steel
spring-loaded lock secures the locking cover in place. A second
locking cover may be added for use on the outside if desired.
To order this pet door requires
you provide us with three bits of information:
-
the full width of your
window (under the window as far as you can go in both
dimensions). The unit provided will have 3" of width adjustment.
-
the width of the window
track itself (1/2"
minimum)
-
the "handing" you
require (to the left end or the right end when inside the house
looking out the window).
A training benefit of the Hale
Pet Door line is that the magnets may be removed from the frame
using a flat-bladed screwdriver. The result is the flap is extremely
easy to push by even the smallest pet--a training plus.
Likewise, and for the same reason, this would be the best high
performance pet door to share between a very large dog and a small
dog or cat.
Alternatively, Hale has developed
specialized 'training' flaps which simplify training. These may be
ordered at 'Replacement Flaps and Locking Covers' below.
Choosing a flap size:
Here are the
Hale recommendations. However, we suggest you do your own
measuring as suggested on our "Measure
Your Pet" page prior to making a decision.
Return Policy:
Because these pet doors are
built custom to your specification, returns will be allowed a 50%
credit toward the purchase of a different Hale Pet Door. The Patio
Pacific
normal return policy
applies in respect to time limits only.
Hot Tip:
Will your window open high enough to accept the pet door?
Add 4" to flap height and see if your window will open that far!
