Ideal Pet Products Modular ALUMINUM Pet Patio Door with Single Pane Glass and Clear Flexible Flap. Fits up to 1” Aluminum Patio track width ONLY, Extra Large, White

The media could not be loaded. I tried to make a DIY dog door. Yeah, not a good plan. This one is great, easy to install and my Zoey loves it. It took her less than 5 minutes to figure it out.

I looked at a few comparing features. I chose this one because I did not want to drill permanent holes in my sliders frame for a pet door and this one is spring loaded so it is easily removed at night for safety if you wish.NOTE: About size. The weight sizing for this item is all WRONG. There is no way a 90 pound dog is going to fit through the flap of the extra large door like I ordered. Heck my Sheltie is only 24 lbs and it is a perfect fit for him. So pay attention to the flap size and if you have a truly big dog, say Lab, boxer or a bit smaller order the larger size. Really measure the dog and flap dimensions. Oh and wait....... the description said the XL door would accommodate up to a 90 lb. dog or cat. Well if a 90 lb. cat comes through that pet door.............heck it can just have the whole house, I'd be leaving.........LOLOk, now back to the xl door. As I said it is perfect for my Sheltie who is 24 lbs and for my Cavalier Puppy I just got. It is perfect because my hubby figured out if your take out the frame that the flap hangs in and remove the side screws from the bottom panel, that panel will slide up and you put the frame with the flap back in and then it is prefect for the smaller dogs to go through, Before my hubby figured this out they both used the door, but they had to kinda jump to get through the opening. Now they just walk right through.I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others. Just keep in mind the flap size, measure the dogs (for lack of a better word) across the butt and its height at the shoulder and order the appropriate size.

It seems to me that everyone has forgotten the saying, "You get what you Pay for". It seems these days we expect to get more than we pay for, and when we do not we complain.First of all, for me I did not have any issues installing the insert. I followed the instructions and had no issues. Of course my sliding door is standard. So this product worked great as it was designed for a standard sliding glass patio door.I spent an additional 20.00 at the hardware store. Got some white duct tape and 20 feet of foam rubber door stripping. The reason is, it only comes with one 10 ft strip. If your standard storm sliding glass patio door is like mine, the weather stripping runs all around the door, but not on the inside, but more on the sides of the door.Because of this, where the door meets the part of the frame were the studs lay behind there is no weather stripping. So, when I slid the insert in against the stud part of the frame it left an air gap, even though it is very, very narrow, more like 1.5 CM. It is enough to allow the winter air to come through.Also, the weather strip that comes with it to place along the side were the sliding door will now meet the insert, it was very narrow and thin to where you could see light coming through. So, I got two 10 ft strips of 1.25 in wide x 7/16 in thick and placed one strip were the insert meets the portion where it meets the frame against the stud, and the other on the door were it meets the insert. This sealed the Insert from the outside.I also got some command type lock strips, this was because my storm sliding door is 1.5 in wide and the insert is only 3/4th of an inch. The measurements in the products description is incorrect as it being 1.9 inches. Because of this it would move forward and backward, the whole insert that is. So I used the lock strips at the top of the insert to keep it from sliding. Then the Foam insulation strips I added keep the rest of it in place.After all this, the product still will not be air tight. Mainly do to the insert being only 3/4 inch thick in a storm door frame of 1.9. So, I got some white duct tape to seal off the gap at the top. Then were the to parts of the insert meet, there is a very small air gap, so I used a little of the tape to seal it.After all the additional steps, and 20 dollars it works great! It may sound complicated, but it was not. Anyone who has done any DIY door or window work will find my additional steps on weather proofing very simple.

We've had this doggy door installed since 2021 and it's been completely reliable—no issues with functionality at all. The only minor adjustment needed during installation was trimming a bit of the metal to ensure a perfect fit.We leave it up year-round, including through harsh winters and hot summers. During the colder months, we winterize it to help minimize any drafts, and it continues to perform well. Overall, it's been a great addition for our pups and our home!

The advert says it fits doors that are 77 5/8. Not so. Sliding doors have been manufactured since the 1960s with a lip or sill on both the floor and the top of the door frame to help keep out moisture. The smallest this door compresses is 77 5/8. If your door is 77 5/8 (many are), then this brand of product will NOT FIT because it won't clear the lip/sill. Clearly the sign of a drunk or incompetent engineer designing this thing. So, you have to cut an inch or so off of the bottom of the door. Fun. Better have the right tools. There is a 2 inch frame around the flap, so you are going to have to diet if you want to use the remainder of the door opening for humans. Also, this thing does not seal well on the door jam side. Will not secure, so you need to buy some extra weather stripping. You are also not going to be able to lock your door. So, get ready to install every morning and remove every night. I drilled a hole in the sliding panel and ran some light cord as a loop so I can pull the sliding panel down easily; again a competent design engineer should have done this. For the money, I expected better.

Gotta love this door! Great way to keep the patio door open in the winter without letting too much cold air in. Not sure how to adjust it in the summer. We placed it on the outside track so we can still lock the patio door. Our patio door was smaller so we had to cut 4” off to make it fit. 2” would have been better but it works. It’s sturdy and feels nice and snug on the track.
