How to Measure for a Sliding Glass Pet Door
Step 1 - Determine Flap Width: It is simple to determine the minimum width needed by your pet to pass through with comfort. Open a sliding door just wide enough to have them walk through with a minimum of one-inch clearance gap on each side. This width including gaps is the minimum size flap width you require.Step 2 - Determine Flap Height: The top of the flap should be placed at least as high as the top of the tallest pet's shoulder, take a measurement from the floor to that point.
Step 3 -Determine Direction When OUTSIDE, determine which side your sliding door opens, is it from the Left or Right?
The Benefits of a Sliding Glass Door with a Dog Door Built In
Our pet doors offer myriad benefits for you and your pets, including:- Safety from the Heat: While dogs and other animals that are kept inside will be uncomfortable, those who have to stay outside are in serious danger. Given Arizona's extremely high temperatures, your pet must be able to get in your house in the middle of the day, or they will be at risk of heat stroke and a host of other health problems. A pet door lets them get inside as soon as they become too hot for comfort, thereby avoiding any threat to their health, let alone their life.
- Energy Efficiency: In allowing pets to get back into your air-conditioned house, pet doors have traditionally let warm air in as well. This wastes energy, as your air conditioner has to work harder to keep your home cool; the result is an exorbitant electric bill and a greater negative impact on the environment. But our pet doors use magnetic strips to tightly seal the door as soon as your pet has passed through it. This minimizes the amount of air that leaks into your home, and thus keeps both your bills and your environmental footprint low.
- Consistent Comfort: Few things are more uncomfortable for a dog than having to wait for long periods of time before using the bathroom. But with one of our pet doors, your dog won't have to wait at all! Whether you're at work, asleep, or otherwise unable to let them out, they'll be free to come and go as they please.
Frequently Asked Questions about Sliding Glass Pet Doors
- One version works by replacing your existing glass in the sliding door panel with a new glass pane that has the pet door built into the bottom. It is recommended that you have a glass company perform installations involving patio door replacement.
- The other version of a systems is a narrow stationary glass panel, with the dog door in the bottom. This panel inserts into the same track as the sliding door, and when the sliding patio door is closed, it abuts the panel containing the dog door.
- Add your pet's height at the tallest point of your pet's back, where the base of the neck meets the top of the shoulder. Add one or more additional inches, for optimum comfort when using the access, and for minimal daily wear on leg joints of older pets.
- Next, determine what the dog door's step-over height should be. The step-over is the area of the wall or house door that will be below the pet door frame opening. Avoid adding to the minimum step-over height possible, to maximize your dog's ease of access when using the pet door.
- Subtract the height of the pet doors step-over from the height of your dog at the measuring point on his/her back. This will give you the height dimension of the opening that needs to be cut into the glass or wood door, or wall material to fit the pet door.
- If you plan to install the pet door in a glass door, find the bottom edge of the existing door glass inside the frame. Do this by measuring approximately 3/4" below the top edge of the bottom (horizontal section) of the door frame.
- Measure up from the floor to the bottom edge of the door glass, then add 3 3/4" upward from that edge for the Endura Flap pet door frame.
