Lock Details

A great way to lock your sliding window is a Charley bar or screw 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.

Switch the Side of the Flap

You can switch which side of the sash panel the pet door flap is on to best fit your home.

  • Remove the screws on the inside of the pet door frame and remove both frame pieces.

Step 2

  • Rotate the flap assembly 180° so the opening is on the opposite side. Make sure the locking cover is on the same side as the width adjustment locks.

Step 3

  • Reinstall the pet door using the original screws.
