Product Details
The Liberty Cat Door for Sash Windows is a removable panel sized specifically for cats, made to drop into double-hung sash windows. The bottom sash lifts up, the panel goes in, and the sash closes back down to lock it in place.
Frame is available in aluminum or vinyl, in white or black. Three width bands cover sash widths from 21.5" to 44" in 1.5" steps, with a custom-width option if your window is outside that range. Safety glass covers the area above the cat flap so the closed window still reads as a window. The flap itself is vinyl.
Before ordering, measure the inside width of your window sash. Pick a width range that brackets your measurement. This panel is cat-sized only, so do not buy it for a dog, even a small one. For dog-sized sash windows, use the white or black versions. Pair with the Cat Flap Locking Cover for added security.
Made in the USA and backed by a 3-year warranty.

Step 1
Release Spring Mechanism
- Loosen the width adjustment locks at the end of the pet door insert with the screwdriver. This allows the spring mechanism to move freely from side to side.
Step 2
Check Panel Fit
- Insert the sash into the window track. Push against the spring mechanism and swing the opposite end into the opposite window track. Gently release. Tighten the width adjustment locks.
Step 3
Apply Weatherstripping
- Once you're sure the panel fits, remove it from the frame and lay it on its side on the ground.
- For foam weatherstripping: Peel the backing off the foam weatherstripping. Press it along both edges of the panel, trimming as needed with scissors to ensure a snug fit.
- For rubber weatherstripping: Clean the edge of your sliding door or window with rubbing alcohol to help the weatherstripping stick properly. Starting at the top or bottom, peel and press the strip into place with the folded edge facing indoors—align angled cuts if you have two pieces. For best results, apply the seal to the sliding door or window, but it can go on the pet door panel if needed.
- Foam weatherstripping is applied onto both sides of the panel, but the rubber weather stripping only applies on the side of the slider door. Your panel will come with one type of weather stripping. You do not need both types.
Step 4
Mount Seal Draft Stopper
- Mount the Center Post Weather Seal Draft Stopper. This strip prevents air from leaking between the window frame when raised to accommodate the sash. Trim to fit with scissors.
- Put the panel back into the window track. Tighten width adjustment locks.
Switch the Side of the Flap
You can switch which side of the sash panel the pet door flap is on to best fit your home.
Step 1
- Remove the screws on the top and bottom closest to the edge of the pet door. Then slightly loosen the screws closest to the glass. Next, slide off the side piece, then the flap assembly.
Step 2
- Rotate the flap assembly (essentially flipping it upside down) then slide it back in. Make sure the locking cover is on the same side as the width adjustment locks.
Step 3
- Replace the end spacer and screws.
LOCKING YOUR WINDOW
For a permanent lock, install a wood screw in the track immediately above the window on both sides. You will no longer be able to raise the window. For a temporary lock, place a removable wooden dowel or Charley bar in either track above the window, shown in Detail 1.
HEIGHT OF YOUR WINDOW
Make sure you place steps or ramps leading to your pet’s door at a height that works! When they go through the flap, the top of the flap should be at least 1" (2,5 cm) higher than the top of their back. Watch your pet and adjust as needed to keep them comfortable.
FAQ
|
|
My flap broke! How do I fix it?
You can easily fix your flap with the Liberty Pet Door Replacement Flap.
|
|
How does the frame adapt to different temperatures?
When temperatures drop, the vinyl flap shrinks. On other pet doors, this will cause the magnetic closures on the flap to no longer connect with the frame. The Liberty Pet Door solves this issue by having the frame magnets extend outwards to meet the magnets. When temperatures rises and the flap expands again, the magnets move back into the frame.
|
|
What keeps drafts from coming in through the pet door?
The pet door is sealed against drafts by its magnetic closures and its weatherstripping.
|
|
How do I change the flap?
You can easily switch out the flap by unscrewing the flap from the adapter. Then all you need to do is screw the new flap into the adapter.
