Are Sliding Glass Doors with Built-in Pet Doors Secure?

Pet doors are a convenient way to allow dogs and cats to get outside when their owners are not home or unable to let them out. Choosing a dog door for sliding glass door is a great option because it is secure and looks great. Advanced Window Products offers a pet door that is built into the sliding glass door already in your home. Technicians will replace the existing glass panel with one that has a dog door built in. The process is easy and installation will take as little as half an hour.

Is a Sliding Glass Door with a Built-in Pet Door Secure?

Since the entire panel of glass is being replaced with the dog door in it, the patio door will still lock and slide just as it did before. Any existing alarms and secondary locks will still function. The pet opening includes a solid security panel and is easy for a pet to use. Our unit is energy efficient, unlike other cheaper pet doors on the market, includes insulated safety glass, and a magnetic strip that creates a tight seal on all sides.

How Do I Keep Other Pets and Animals From Using My Dog Door For Sliding Glass Door?

Since the door is tightly sealed with magnets to the frame and floor, insects and small animals do not have the strength to push the door open. Most larger animals will not try to get through something that is solid or tightly sealed either. However, it never hurts to keep food and water a good distance away from the pet door just to make sure other animals do not catch wind of a tasty meal. Our staff will help you measure properly for your dog door for sliding glass door. Getting the size right will help ensure you are not creating an opening in your home larger than it needs to be.
