General Information About
The Ideal Fast Fit Patio Panel
for Sliding Glass DoorsThe
Ideal Fast Fit Patio Pet Door Insert is a popular 'spring load' which requires no tools for installation (except for the included
pin lock). Flaps are relatively light weight, clear flexible vinyl. Locking covers are plastic. Use a broomstick in the track to avoid having to drill a hole for the pin lock. Glass is 1/8" clear tempered.
Don't look for the "large" size; it's been discontinued by Ideal. This pet door
has lighter weight metal and glass and has a more limited adjustment range
than the Quick Panel III but is less expensive. Be sure to carefully check your track height compared with 'Adjustment Range' to be sure of a fit.
There are quite a few details that might be important for you to think about
in purchasing any panel pet door.
Begin with 'Key
Points' to get a quick overview of the most important issues. Then study the
'Comparison
Chart' and read the information on the
Patio Panel FAQ page which cover the fine points of patio pet doors.
Frame thickness is 5/8".
Draft Stopper is included.
Hot Tip: Most, but not all, Ideal
Patio Panels include a plastic frame immediately around the flap. On occasion these frames break. Don't buy a whole new
patio pet door! We carry the replacement flap assembly
(see below). But, If you happen to have metal framing immediately surrounding the
flap, you'll probably only need a replacement flap. Be sure to get the
'Deluxe' version in that case.
If you are replacing an Ideal flap in an existing
pet door or planning to replace an existing Ideal pet door,
Please see our "Urgent Notice".
