If you’ve decided to make your life easier with a pet door, you may be concerned about your next steps, such as the cost and effort of installation. Luckily, Patio Link makes this process as simple as possible.

With Patio Link, you can have a pet door that doesn’t cause any damage to your home, is fully lockable, and can be removed at any point. They can be taken with you anywhere you go, and installed in just minutes!

Are my doors compatible with Patio Link pet door inserts?

Patio Link cat and dog doors are for glass sliding doors rather than timber and security doors. No matter the size, style, or colour, Patio Link are the leading manufacturers of custom pet doors, creating inserts that suit any home.

Before buying the best insert for your home, it’s important that you measure your doors thoroughly. This can be done by holding measuring tape along the vertical channels as well as the bottom channel of your glass sliding door.

However, if there is any uncertainty at all, Patio Link is happy to help! You can send photos of these channels to sales@patiolink.com.au, and the expert team will confirm their compatibility and sizing.

How do I install my pet door insert?

The standard installation of these inserts can be done in just seconds. There’s no need to cut doors in glass, all you have to do is follow these simple steps.

• Step 1 – With the glass panels of your sliding door open, simply pop the bottom of the insert into the bottom channel of the door.
• Step 2 – Locate the two black knobs that control the adjustable panel at the top of the insert. Turn these clockwise to lock the top of your insert into position.
• Step 3 – To stop drafts from coming in, insert the included mohair weather strip along the side of your insert where your glass sliding door will rest.

How do I ensure my doors stay secure?

With all Patio Link pet door purchases, you will receive a FREE locking bracket. To install this, you will need a hand drill and screw driver. But rest assured, the task is very straight forward and no damage will be done to your door.

This bracket goes on your insert’s vertical frame, lined up with the handle lock. After moving your current female latch to the locking bracket and locking the glass sliding door, you only need to replace screws in the existing holes to make sure the pet door insert cannot be pushed out.

There is also the option of an adapter to lock both the safety glass and security screen together. This allows for a breeze and bug protection, while keeping your house secure.
