Ideal Modular "Two-Piece" Patio Pet Door

Single Pane Glass / Flexible Flap Pet Opening

Ideal Modular Patio Pet Door The Ideal Modular Pet Door breaks down into two pieces for easy storage and transporting. This a great option for those customers who may only need a patio pet door for 2-3 seasons of the year. The design allows for easy break-down and storage. Traditional Patio Pet Doors are quite tall and cumbersome to move and store.These Modular Patio Pet Door are identical to the standard Ideal Patio Pet Doors.

The Modular panels are very easy to put together; simply align the top portion over the the two insert pegs and bring together. A screw is inserted to hold the panel pieces secure.

The patio insert frame is aluminum, housing a safety glass upper portion. The very top of the panel is spring loaded to allow for an approx. 2.5 inch adjustment range. These patio inserts are designed to fit in the same channel as your sliding door. Your sliding door will open and close to the unit, which stays in place.

Weather striping is included, as well as pin lock assembly, however, we highly recommend that you use an brace bar or even a stick that is placed behind the sliding patio door. This method of locking your doors is much safer than relying on a lock mechanism.

The top spring-loaded adjusting section of the Ideal Modular Patio Doors appears as an "H" piece when viewed from the side. The overall width of this piece is 13/16" (Will fit into most any sliding glass door track). The spring-loaded adjustment provides for a 2 1/2" range for proper fitting into your opening. Most top tracks in sliding glass doors do not have any center rails, however, if you do have this feature then the Ideal Modular Patio Door can straddle any rail at the top 5/8" wide or narrower. The spring-loaded top is secured with 2 thumbscrew locks, accessible from inside the house only, someone from the exterior of the house would not be able to compress or remove the unit.			The bottom section of the Ideal Modular Patio Door has an overall width of 5/8". A semi-circle, "C" channel is centered and runs the length of the bottom. This "C" channel is design to straddle the center rail in the channel on the floor that your sliding glass door follows. By straddling this center rail, the Ideal Modular Patio Pet Door will remain centered to the frame of your sliding door when closed to this unit. Note: If the center rail in the channel on the floor is wider than 5/16", then this patio Insert will not be able to straddle it and as a result may not fit properly in your opening.
What is the Rise? This is the distance that the bottom of the pet opening is positioned off of the ground and the distance that the pet will have to step over to use the pet door. There are several different rise options available (2.5, 4, 8, and 12 inches) to accommodate different pets. Note: Larger rise options are not available on smaller pet openings. Adjustable Height Range: The top section of the Ideal Patio Pet Door floats on two tension rods that compress or expand to obtain the best possible fit in the patio door frame. The top is fit into the upper patio slider track and the bottom rests on the bottom slider track. Once in place, there are two thumb bolts that lock the top section into place to prevent the Patio Pet door from being removed from the outside. How Does My Sliding Door Lock? Each Patio Pet Door comes with a locking pin mechanism that can be attached to your sliding door. We strongly suggest bracing the door with a stick or an adjustable brace bar; as this immobilizes your slider and is the most effective way to secure your sliding door. Extensions for "Custom" Ranges: Ideal makes 3 different height ranges of patio pet doors: Regular, Shorty & Tall. For customers who have a slider height that falls between these ranges, we have custom extensions available to accommodate any patio door height from 75" to 106" tall. These extensions slide in at the top of the insert, and some customers use a couple of screws to stabilize the extension piece. (See picture in chart below for custom extension piece) Different Ways to Install the Patio Pet Door: The Ideal Patio Pet Door can be mounted on the stationary side of the patio door. Many patio doors have stoppers that normally prevent the stationary panel from moving, but if these stoppers can be removed, the stationary panel can be moved to accommodate the patio panel. Note: This technique will not work on patio doors where the stationary panel is molded into the frame. Draft Stopper / Weather Stripping: The draftstopper is a wide vinyl weather stripping section that attaches to the backside of your sliding door. When an insert is installed, your sliding door breaks the seal between the slider and fixed panel. This weather stripping will seal out any drafts. Each Patio Pet Door comes with a foam bumper so your slider will gently rest against the Patio Pet door. This foam bumper will also help to seal out drafts and bugs.
