Types of sliding glass patio pet doors

The most common are "General Purpose" models intended to adapt to virtually any sliding glass door. They normally come in a variety of sizes and may be "spring-loaded" for easy put-in and take-out or they may be toe-nailed in your track. The "spring-loads" are the most popular and common.

In recent years vinyl framed sliding glass doors have become much more common and there are patio pet doors designed specifically for that situation. We suggest starting with these and then moving to a general purpose type if there is some feature missing or if it doesn't seem to meet your needs.

Finally, there are several magnetic-operated or motorized panels that may be used to control access. Your pet may come and go but intruders are kept out. You might also want this type if you're trying to let the dog out but keep a cat or other animal in.

Important considerations

There are three that are most important:

In choosing a patio pet door it is vital to know that your track height is in the adjustment range of the door you have chosen.

Secondly, you must be sure that the flap size and step-over is appropriate for your pet.

Finally you need to be sure that you'll have room to walk out yourself if you have a pet patio panel in place! If not, and you'd still like to use your patio door, take a look at the through the glass category page.

As well, there are quite a few other 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 covers the fine points of patio pet doors.

Important note

These patio pet doors aren't only for dogs. In fact, they may be a better choice for cats than the ones intended specifically for cats! The reason is that each manufacturer generally offers a "Small" size and the flaps are all flexible and, therefore, safer than rigid "cat flaps".
