Locking Bracket - Required For Wooden Doors

LOCKING BRACKET FOR WOODEN SLIDING DOORS

Secure your PatioLink Pet Door Insert while maintaining the locking functionality of your existing sliding door.

Our Locking Bracket Kit allows you to relocate your existing female latch onto your PatioLink Pet Door Insert, enabling your sliding door to lock securely into place.

What's Included?

• 1 × L-Shaped Bracket – Used to relocate your existing female latch onto the pet door insert frame.

• 3 × Small Aluminium Plates – Two plates can be bent to create the required angle brackets, while the third connects your pet door insert to your sliding door frame.

Installation Instructions

1. Remove the existing female latch from your wooden sliding door frame.

2. Attach the female latch to the L-shaped bracket, positioning it on your PatioLink Pet Door Insert frame.

3. Carefully align the latch with your sliding door handle and locking mechanism.

4. Use the supplied aluminium plates to create the necessary brackets and secure the installation.

Tools Required:

• Hand drill with a 3mm drill bit

• Pliers for bending the aluminium plates

ALUMINIUM CONNECTING PLATE – SECURE YOUR PET DOOR INSERT TO YOUR SLIDING DOOR FRAME

An easy and practical way to secure your PatioLink Pet Door Insert without drilling additional holes into your existing sliding door frame.

Our Aluminium Connecting Plate provides an additional fixing point between your pet door insert and your sliding door frame, helping prevent the pet door insert from being pushed out of position.

How Does It Work?

1. Locate the existing screw hole inside your sliding door track where the female latch was previously installed.

2. Secure one end of the aluminium plate using this existing hole.

3. Carefully bend the plate forward so it reaches the front aluminium extrusion of your PatioLink Pet Door Insert.

4. Secure the other end of the plate to the pet door insert frame using a second screw.

Once installed, the connecting plate helps hold your PatioLink Pet Door Insert securely in position, without requiring new screw holes in your existing sliding door frame.

Important Installation Safety

WARNING – AVOID DRILLING NEAR GLASS

When drilling into the aluminium extrusion of your pet door insert, always maintain a minimum distance of 15mm (1.5cm) from the glass edge.

Before drilling, confirm the glass position and that the selected fixing point is safe. Do not drill into glass or areas where the drill or screw could contact the glazing.

If you are unsure about the installation, please contact PatioLink for guidance before proceeding.
