Hale Pet Door for Screens

Product Details

The Hale Pet Door for Screens is an elegant, functional solution for integrating a pet door into screen enclosures, sliding doors, or porches without compromising the integrity of the screen. Designed for a secure fit, this pet door is reinforced by a durable aluminum frame that withstands frequent use, making it the sturdiest screen pet door option available for large dogs.

A stabilizer bar is included in sizes Tall Large to Giant to provide additional structural support and ensure long-term reliability.  You can add a stabilizer bar kit to a smaller sizes by adding to your order.  Custom ordered Stabilizer Bar Kits can be ordered up to 72" wide by contacting Customer Service at (805) 781-7700 or customerservice@petdoors.com .

The clear vinyl flap is designed for effortless entry, making it accessible for pets of all sizes while maintaining visibility. It features magnetic closures along the edges, supported by fuzzy nylon weather stripping, to create a strong seal that prevents bugs and debris from entering while still allowing smooth operation. Unlike rigid flaps, the flexible design makes it ideal for multi-pet households where different-sized pets need to share the same door.

Designed for versatility, the Hale Pet Door for Screens is available in 11 sizes and four frame colors, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any home. The corner-fit installation adds structural support, preventing premature wear and ensuring a snug fit. Customizable mounting options accommodate a variety of screen frame thicknesses, providing a secure and professional-grade installation.

For those who need additional reinforcement, optional stabilizer bars are available in sizes up to 72" wide for customized installations. Whether you need a pet door for a screened-in porch or a sliding door screen, this model offers durability, convenience, and a seamless aesthetic. With a focus on quality and ease of use, the Hale Pet Door for Screens provides pets with unrestricted access while maintaining a strong, insect-proof barrier for your home.

Ordering Instructions 

To ensure you get the right Hale Pet Screen Door, follow these steps carefully. After placing your order, we will contact you for more details.

Screen Frame Thickness Options

Measure the thickest part of your screen frame to determine which pet door model will work best:

A. For frames between 3/8" and 1/2" thick

• You will receive the Up to 1/2" model, which has a 3/4" deep U-shaped flange that fits along the bottom and one side of your screen door frame.
• Note: If your frame is thinner than 3/8", it may not be sturdy enough to support the pet door, so this model is not recommended.

B. For frames thicker than 1/2", you have two options:

Option 1: Universal Model (Fits up to 1" thick frames)

Option 2: Custom Cut Model (For frames thicker than 1" or special cases like screen porches and sidelights)

• In this option, Hale trims off one flange to fit extra-thick frames. The remaining flange is 3/4" long and 3/4" deep.
• If you need a four-sided flange for a framed hole, this is the only option that allows a locking cover (sold separately).

C. If choosing the Custom Cut model, you’ll need to provide two additional details (submitted via a link in your order confirmation email):

Option 1: Spline Location (Interior or Exterior)

• Determine whether your screen’s spline is on the inside or outside of the frame.
• To check, stand inside your home looking out.
• Your pet door must be installed on the same side as the screen mesh and spline.
• The manufacturer will ensure the framing accommodates your setup

Option 2: Installation Corner (Left or Right)

• Specify whether the pet door will be installed in the lower left or lower right corner of the screen frame.
• Again, determine this while looking at the frame from inside your home.
  

Installation Instructions

Installation steps vary depending on your pet door model:

• Up to 1/2" Model & Custom Cut Model – See steps 8 & 9 in the installation guide.
• Universal Model (Over 1/2" up to 1") – Follow the separate installation guide.

Hale Pet Door Screen Mount Stabilizer Bar Kit

• Hale pet screen doors are normally supported by the screen frame along the bottom and one side.
• For larger flap sizes and active dogs, extra support is needed.
• The Stabilizer Bar Kit provides extra reinforcement across the top of the pet door.
• This 48" stabilizer bar must be trimmed with a hacksaw to fit your screen.
• The kit includes all necessary fittings.
• Sizes Tall Large through Giant automatically include this stabilizer in your selected frame color.
• For smaller sizes, you can add the stabilizer bar kit from the drop-down menu when ordering.
• If you only need the stabilizer bar kit, visit the Stabilizer Bar Kit page to purchase separately.
