Petsafe Freedom Patio Pet Door

Petsafe Freedom Patio Panel Pet Doors for Sliding Glass Doors

The Petsafe Freedom Patio Pet Door for sliding glass doors differs from the earlier Petsafe Deluxe Patio Pet Door primarily by the fact that the Freedom panel uses the Petsafe Freedom flap while the older Deluxe panel used the Petsafe Classic flap. As well there are some minor dimensional changes in rise dimensions and height adjustment ranges which are generally for the better.

The Freedom flap is the same flap used in a number of other Petsafe pet doors so this standardization helps to simplify the replacement situation if/when the flap fails. Meanwhile, the Petsafe Classic flap is being phased out.

The mechanism provided to lock your sliding glass door consists of a lock mounted on the pet door (not shown in the graphic. It can be mounted on either side making this pet door reversible) together with a bracket intended to be mounted on the sliding glass door with sheet metal screws. The lock then engages the bracket locking the door closed. Notice that this approach is why the pet door must be semi-permanent only as the lock would not work if the pet door were not screwed down. The PetSafe lock does not mate to the lock on your sliding glass door--too many different ones out there.
