Temporary pet doors are the ideal solution if you need to give your pet indoor/outdoor access and don’t want to pay for permanent installation in a wall or door. It is perfect for rental properties and for use in pet-sitter homes. A temporary pet door is designed for a sliding glass door and is easily set up without the use of a professional installer. A patio pet door provides your active dog or cat with the freedom to access the yard instead when it feels the need. Simple to install and remove, they leave no marks on the frame or glass and may be adjusted for the size of pet as well. The portable pet door is designed to install into any standard glass sliding door without the use of extensions or adjustment equipment. It requires no cutting or alterations to the patio door and will fit standard patio door hei ghts of 77.5”-96.0” frames. If you move or need to use it elsewhere, you can take the door with you. It fits into the sliding door frame adjacent to the glass sliding door and can match the color of the existing door frame.
The panel fits into the sliding door track and locked into place by closing the sliding door up against it. The great thing is you can still use the patio door to go in or out as it would normally function. These temporary doors are typically spring loaded fitting into the aluminum frame with no cutting so they are very easy to install. They lock with a secure pin lock which can be done by drilling a hole for the pin through the top of the sliding door. In addition, the temporary panels can be fixed into place using screws if a more permanent solution is required. Also available are the semi-permanent pet doors that must be screwed into place into the door frame to lock it. This kind of installation uses a conventional latch & hook type of lock. These sliding glass pet doors will have their own secure locking mechanism that mounts approximately a foot above the existing latching mechanism. A purchasing tip for those looking to buy temporary dog doors is that all pet doors designed for temporary installation may also be made into semi-permanent ones by securing them into place on the track using sheet metal screws.
This makes the temporary type panels better as a multi-use type of solution. One last item of consideration is the step-over setting for the temp door. This is the raised height that the flap is above the ground. So a small dog and a larger dog may both use a standard large sized flap but only if the step-over setting has been set to low for the small dog and higher for the larger dog. Optimally you want the step-over to be high enough to get the top of the flap set to the height of the pet at the top of its shoulder.
