Elevate your home with the Liberty Pet Door for Sliding Glass Doors. Designed to offer your pets the independence they deserve, this pet door seamlessly integrates with your sliding glass door without the need for permanent modifications. Ideal for homes, rentals, and vacation homes; this panel can be securely installed without any permanent alterations.
The Liberty Pet Door is built with an energy-efficient design, incorporating energy efficient, clear safety glass to maintain your home’s comfort regardless of the season.
The frame is available in three classic colors to enhance your home’s aesthetics without compromising on quality.
The panel comes in three adjustable height ranges to ensure a perfect match for any sliding glass patio door, making it a sleek and unobtrusive addition to your home.
Adjustable sliders can also be used to change the step-over of your pet door. A spacer beneath the flap raises the height threshold, allowing taller pets to use the flap. A spacer above the flap lowers the step-over, making it easier for shorter pets and pets with mobility issues to step through.
The Liberty Pet Door comes with a clear vinyl flap, which is designed for easy use by pets of all sizes. There is also a smaller flap made specifically for cats available. The magnetic closure and weatherstripping allows the flap to shrink or expand in response to the cold and heat, which enhances your pet door’s weatherproofing in rain and wind. Unlike other doors on the market, the flap also stays flexible in temperatures as low as 0°F.
Secure your Liberty Pet Door with a heavy-duty locking cover, which prevents your dog from using their pet door. Standard height ranges comes with a tan molded ABS locking cover while custom sizes come with a durable black thermoplastic locking cover.
Made in the USA, the door's durable construction is built to withstand the playful antics of your pets and the test of time, supported by a 3-year warranty.
Features:
- Customizable and Versatile: Fits sliding glass door tracks at least 1" thick with magnetic closure on three sides of the flap for improved storm and wind resistance. Available in white, black, and brushed aluminum to seamlessly integrate with your home decor. Unsure what adjustment range to get? Pick the shorter of the two.
- Energy Efficient: Features clear, single-pane safety glass to keep your home comfortable year-round, effectively sealing in temperatures as low as 0°F.
- Secure and Durable: Includes a sturdy locking cover for safety, alongside a C-Clamp Lock for additional security, ensuring your pet's freedom doesn’t compromise home safety.
- Ease of Installation: Spring-loaded top for quick setup and removal, making it a perfect solution for temporary housing or vacation homes. No need to cut through walls or doors.
- American Craftsmanship: Proudly designed and engineered in the USA, offering superior quality, performance, and a stylish addition to your home that lasts.

One-Piece Panel
Step 1 Adjust the Step Over (Optional)
- The top of the flap should be positioned to be at least 1” above the top of the pet’s shoulder.
- If the factory setting is not suitable, please adjust it before proceeding. If the current setting is suitable, proceed to the “Installation Instructions” section.
Step 2 Adjust the Screws
- Lay the entire panel on a flat surface.
- Using a #2 flat head screwdriver, remove the bottom side-screws and loosen the upper side-screws. Screws were tightly installed to hold the panel together during shipping; a power tool* is recommended.
Step 3 Adjust the Spacers
- Once the bottom screws have been removed and the upper side-screws loosened, the Pet Door Assembly and spacers can be removed by sliding the sections down and out of the panel.
Step 4 Replace the Spacers
- Replace the spacers and the Pet Door Assembly by sliding them back in a different order to achieve the desired height. You can move the spacer below and above the flap to raise or lower the flap height.
Step 5 Tighten the Screws
- When finished, replace the bottom side-screws and tighten the next upper-side screws.
Step 6 Unlock Spring Mechanism
- Loosen the height adjustment locks at the top of the pet panel with the screwdriver. This allows the spring mechanism to move freely up and down.
Step 7 Test Fit the Panel in Your Track
- To insert the panel into the top track, push up against the spring mechanism and swing the bottom of the panel up and over the threshold.
- Seat the panel on top of the small guide rail in the track.
Step 8 Apply the Weatherstripping
- Once you’re sure the panel fits, remove it from the frame and lay it on its side on the ground.
- Apply the foam weather-stripping by peeling back the paper and exposing the adhesive.
- Unroll it along the edge of the panel, pressing to ensure it adheres. Install on both sides, trim it fit with scissors.
Step 9 Install the Draft Stopper

- Align the aluminum connectors extending from the bottom flap panel section with the top glass panel section.

Lock Details
Since you cannot lock your sliding door to your panel pet door, we have provided you with alternative locking methods to secure your home:
Installing the sliding door clamp: This clamp has a screw that tightens by hand to prevent the sliding door from moving beyond the clamp’s placement. For doors manufactured with the glass slider on the inside track, the lock can usually be installed on the door’s raised track.
If you aren’t able to use the lock that comes with the panel: A great alternative to locking your sliding glass door is a Charley bar or dowel in the track. Both work off the same concept – they block the slider from opening. When engaged you cannot pull the sliding door away from the pet door panel.
Other Installation Options
Semi-Permanent Installation:
You might choose to secure the panel in your track with screws. This can be done by drilling screws at an angle in the top and bottom tracks. We recommend doing this from the outside to minimize damage to the sliding glass door frame. One-way screws will prevent tampering or removal of the panel from the outside.
Stationary Panel:
Some stationary sliding door panels can be unfastened and moved over to one side so that you can install the pet door panel between the jamb and stationary panel.
Avoid damaging your sliding glass door by checking that your door can move and that you can reinstall it properly before trying to uninstall the unit.
You will still lose space in your slider to move through, however, you will be able to use your existing sliding door lock to secure your home. Installing your pet door this way is also great in that you already have an alarm system in place.
If your sliding glass door slides on the outside track, using an alternative lock might not be possible, so this allows you to still lock your door.
NOTE: You can do the stationary panel install with the regular spring actuator method – no need to screw it in.
FAQ

I am looking at the multi dog sized doors for a sliding patio door. What are the differences between a vinyl dog door and an aluminum? The primary differences between vinyl and aluminum dog doors for sliding patio doors-- besides the material they are made out of--are in their thickness, energy efficiency, and material compatibility. Vinyl doors are typically 1.5" thick, offer better insulation, and match well with vinyl sliding doors due to their energy-efficient nature and thicker frames. Aluminum doors, on the other hand, are 1" thick, less insulating but highly durable, and they pair well with aluminum sliding doors for a consistent look and maintenance ease. When choosing between them, we recommend getting the panel that matches your sliding glass door's track material (aluminum with aluminum, or vinyl with vinyl) and will fit into your track's width. |
