Top tier status for the
Hale Pet Door (formerly Hale Security Pet Door)
refers to the two flap version of this pet door--one
on the inside of the frame and one to the outside--with an
approximate 1" dead air space between them (see "Number Flaps"
column). Both flaps have magnets to stand up to wind and a
brush-type weather stripping between the magnets. As a result, the
Hale pet door stands up to wind much better than a single flap door
will and the dead air space provides better insulation than a single
flap pet door.
The locking cover is
3/16" Lexan
(polycarbonate) with a steel dead-bolt to hold it in place. The
locking cover normally installs straight down from above. If
something is in the way (a door knob for example) you may order a
'side load option' at no extra charge (see "Replacement Flaps,
Magnets, Side-Load Option and Locking Covers" at bottom right).
Self-framing adjustment range is 1
3/8" - 2". Framing is
very heavy extruded aluminum. A top rated pet door in the
double flap version. Use the single flap version in garage,
basement or shed areas where maximum insulation value isn't
critical. We frequently find that the wide array of sizes in this
line can mean a better fit for the customers particular mix of pets.
A training benefit of the Hale Pet
Door line is that the magnets may be removed from the frame using a
flat-bladed screwdriver. The result is the flap is extremely easy to
push by even the smallest pet--a training plus. Likewise, and
for the same reason, this would be the best high performance pet
door to share between a very large dog and a small dog or cat.
All Hale pet doors come standard with "polar"
flaps--a vinyl that is more flexible in cold weather than "regular"
vinyl. Replacement flaps may be ordered here
Hale Pet Door Replacement Flaps and Locking Covers.
Very flexible 'training' flaps may be ordered for
pets who are initially resistant to pushing through the regular
flaps. These may be ordered at "Hale
Replacement Flaps".
Choosing a flap size:
Here are the
Hale recommendations. However, we suggest you do your own
measuring as suggested on our "Measure
Your Pet" page prior to making a decision.
A "Rain
Cap" is available for the pet door at a small additional charge.
