Customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the pet door for granting dogs independent access to enter and exit without assistance, with many noting their pets love the freedom to come and go while owners are away. Installation is consistently described as simple and straightforward, with users appreciating the perfect fit for sliding glass doors. The built-in locking mechanism adds security, and reviewers highlight strong value for the durability and functionality. A few report minor compatibility issues with certain door types, but overall most consider it a worthwhile investment.

Manufacturing Defect + Not Suitable for all Doors
First of all, even if this could end up working for us with some tinkering the pieces don’t come flush. Following the instructions, the pieces didn’t conjoin symmetrically to reveal screw holes on both sides, just one. Even with a new hole drilled in, the metal on either side of the conjoining pieces are different lengths, causing a small gap on one side and not the other. In the description, it mentions that it’s a SILDING pet door, it wasn’t. It also has no locking or interlocking mechanism to provide a seal between it and the regular sliding door. It’s basically just a thin metal wall that the human door bounces off of and in our case, was also not flush due to screws in the integrity of the human door. With most of these products, there usually is some kind of wings or wrap around feature to prevent this.
It sounds complicated, but me and my carpenter boyfriend were able to sum it up to poor manufacturing, and it was not able to be fixed or looked past even with some handy work. It’s only suitable for a specific kind of sliding door, so it is NOT suitable for most rental properties. For the price, we expected much better quality.
Beware of an egregious return process.
No, I do not recommend this product.

We are so sorry for these misunderstandings about this door panel!<br /><br />This panel is intended for sliding glass door installation. It does not itself slide, but installs within sliding glass door frames. The installation video shown on this page shows all the details of how this panel is screwed into place-<br /><br />https://www.petco.com/product/petsafe-96-deluxe-white-patio-panel-pet-door-medium-1459031<br /><br />We're so sorry for any confusion. <br /><br />The panel is designed to sit flush against the wall side of the sliding glass door, so if your door had an external lock protruding in that area, it would need to be removed before the panel is installed. <br /><br />A lock is included with this panel, but rather than being installed between the panel and the sliding portion of your door, it would be installed behind the sliding portion of the door. There are detailed steps in the manual describing this process, and it can also be seen in the installation video at the link above for reference as well. <br /><br />With this being said, it is crucial to note that it is not normal for the pieces of this door to not line up as intended when assembled. This would be an issue we would be happy to assist with under warranty if you still have your panel and have not returned it. Should this be the case, please get in touch with our live support team- we're eager to help! Our number is 1-800-732-2677, and our hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 7 P.M. EST.

Unsatisfied
The first step in the instructions to connect the lower metal piece did not line up. Also, the door was warped. So as we got it in and tried to close the sliding glass door there was a large gap on the top and bottom. We had to get a large amount of weather stripping, to close those gaps. In addition, how to use a large DOW rod to push the door closed. So there is no more gaps. I'm very unsatisfied with this product.

This doggy door has exceeded my expectations. It was very easy to install and worth every penny. However, like others have said buy better weather stripping.

Don’t waste your money
I purchased this pet sliding glass door insert expecting it to integrate with my existing sliding door lock, but the product is not as described. The panel does not include any locking mechanism that secures it to your existing sliding glass door. The only lock included in the box simply locks the pet panel itself in place — it does nothing to secure your actual door. There is no adapter, no extension piece, and no hardware that allows your current lock to function. The only option they provide is to remove your existing lock plate from the wall and reinstall it onto the insert panel, which is not a practical or secure solution. For the price and website description, I expected a complete and compatible locking system. Unfortunately, this product falls short and does not provide the security or functionality advertised. Don’t waste your money.

Good door
Overall I consider this a good product. I agree with other reviewers that you will want to buy extra weatherstripping to use for the gap between your slider and the panel, though it’s not that big a deal. The flap works and usually catches properly. My main issue is I haven’t been able to get my cat to use the door on her own. She only goes out when I hold the flap open for her. She is 15 years old, so it is probably just harder to train such an old cat.

Sizing
Unfortunately, sizing is off. Although the lg door says it accommodates Setters Poodles and Greyhounds
I can assure you it does not…

I installed a PetSafe door in my three panel glass door, without any issues. The brackets went in easily, the insert was placed and anchored without issues. I did opt to use the original sliding glass door locking mechanism, as there wasn't a good place to anchor the one that came with the insert. Also, I picked up some rubber weather stripping from a hardware store to seal the gap between the panel and the door (as was reported in a number of reviews). The install is solid and the dogs enjoy having the ability to go in and out at will.

Can this be used with vinyl sliding patio doors?
- Thank you for your great question. This pet door can be installed in vinyl sliding doors. Please note, however, that vinyl is a more brittle material than wood or metal, so extra care should be taken when screwing the pet door frame into place.

The magnet that holds the rubber flap closed broke on mine. Is there a way I can replace that part? It’s the magnetic part on the bottom of the door frame.
