Step 1
Loosen Height Adjustment Locks
- Loosen the height adjustment locks at the top of the panel. This allows the spring mechanism to
move freely up and down.
- Horizontal Cross pieces have Edge Guides on each end. Carefully remove these parts and keep them together. This will help with assembly and orientation and when reassembling the piece.
Step 2
Insert Panel Into Track
- Insert the panel into the upper track of your door frame, push the panel into the spring
mechanism, then swing the bottom of the panel up and over the threshold into the lower track
rail.
- If you can’t clear the track, try swinging in from the outside, as the outside
track wall may be shorter. If the panel still doesn’t fit, see the FAQ for guidance.
Step 3
Apply Weatherstrip
- Once you are confident that the panel fits, remove the panel from the track and lay it on its
side on the ground.
- Apply the foam weatherstrip seal by peeling back the paper and exposing the adhesive. Unroll it
along the edge of the panel, pressing to ensure it adheres. Install on both sides and trim to
fit with scissors.
Step 4
Place Panel In Track
- Place the panel back into the sliding glass door, then tighten the height adjustment locks to
lock it in
place.
Step 5
Install the Draft Stopper
- The center post weather seal strip (draft stopper) should be installed on the inside of the home.
- It can install on either the back edge of the sliding door panel or the leading
edge of the stationary panel.
- This strip prevents air from leaking between the sliding glass door and the
stationary panel.
- Trim with scissors as needed. Clean the edge of your patio door with rubbing alcohol before
installing to assure a good seal.
- Repeat step two to install the panel in your track.

Lock Details
Since you cannot lock your sliding door to your panel pet door, we have provided you with alternative locking methods to secure your home:
Installing the sliding door clamp: This clamp has a screw that tightens by hand to prevent the sliding door from moving beyond the clamp’s placement. For doors manufactured with the glass slider on the inside track, the lock can usually be installed on the door’s raised track.
If you aren’t able to use the lock that comes with the panel: A great alternative to locking your sliding glass door is a Charley bar or dowel in the track. Both work off the same concept – they block the slider from opening. When engaged you cannot pull the sliding door away from the pet door panel.
Other Installation Options
Semi-Permanent Installation:
You might choose to secure the panel in your track with screws. This can be done by drilling screws at an angle in the top and bottom tracks. We recommend doing this from the outside to minimize damage to the sliding glass door frame. One-way screws will prevent tampering or removal of the panel from the outside.
Stationary Panel:
Some stationary sliding door panels can be unfastened and moved over to one side so that you can install the pet door panel between the jamb and stationary panel.
Avoid damaging your sliding glass door by checking that your door can move and that you can reinstall it properly before trying to uninstall the unit.
You will still lose space in your slider to move through, however, you will be able to use your existing sliding door lock to secure your home. Installing your pet door this way is also great in that you already have an alarm system in place.
If your sliding glass door slides on the outside track, using an alternative lock might not be possible, so this allows you to still lock your door.
NOTE: You can do the stationary panel install with the regular spring actuator method – no need to screw it in.
FAQ
|
Will this fit my aluminum sliding glass door?
It could, but you risk condensation and an improper fit. Aluminum sliders have a narrow track, which vinyl panels may be too wide for. This is why we have the Liberty Pet Door Panel for Aluminum Sliding Glass Doors.
|
My flap is damaged, what should I do?
To address a damaged flap, simply obtain the Liberty Pet Door Replacement Flap for a quick and easy replacement.
|
How does the pet door frame adjust to temperature changes?
As temperatures decrease, the vinyl flap contracts, potentially disrupting the alignment with the frame's magnets in typical pet doors. The innovative design of the Liberty Pet Door combats this with adjustable frame magnets that extend to reconnect with the flap's magnets, ensuring a secure seal regardless of temperature fluctuations. As it warms up and the flap expands, these magnets retract accordingly.
|
How is the pet door safeguarded against drafts?
The combination of magnetic seals and specialized weatherstripping effectively prevents drafts from entering through the pet door.
|
How can I replace the flap?
Flap replacement is made effortless: simply unscrew the old flap from the adapter, then attach the new flap by screwing it into place.
