Elevate your home with the Liberty Custom Pet Door for Sliding Glass Doors. Made to order, these pet door panels are custom built to fit the dimensions of your sliding glass door without the need for permanent modifications. Ideal for homes, rentals, and vacation homes; this panel can be securely installed without any permanent alterations.
The Liberty Pet Door is built with an energy-efficient design, incorporating energy efficient, clear safety glass to maintain your home’s comfort regardless of the season.
The frame is available in three classic colors to enhance your home’s aesthetics without compromising on quality.
The panel comes in three adjustable height ranges to ensure a perfect match for any sliding glass patio door, making it a sleek and unobtrusive addition to your home.
Adjustable sliders can also be used to change the step-over of your pet door. A spacer beneath the flap raises the height threshold, allowing taller pets to use the flap. A spacer above the flap lowers the step-over, making it easier for shorter pets and pets with mobility issues to step through.
The Liberty Pet Door comes with a clear vinyl flap, which is designed for easy use by pets of all sizes. The magnetic closure and weatherstripping allows the flap to shrink or expand in response to the cold and heat, which enhances your pet door’s weatherproofing in rain and wind. Unlike other doors on the market, the flap also stays flexible in temperatures as low as 0°F.
Secure your Liberty Pet Door with a heavy-duty locking cover, which prevents your dog from using their pet door. Standard height ranges comes with a tan molded ABS locking cover while custom sizes come with a durable black thermoplastic locking cover.
Made in the USA, the door's durable construction is built to withstand the playful antics of your pets and the test of time, supported by a 3-year warranty.
Features:
- Customizable and Versatile: Fits sliding glass door tracks at least 1" thick with magnetic closure on three sides of the flap for improved storm and wind resistance. Available in white, black, and brushed aluminum to seamlessly integrate with your home decor.
- Energy Efficient: Features clear, single-pane safety glass to keep your home comfortable year-round, effectively sealing in temperatures as low as 0°F.
- Secure and Durable: Includes a sturdy locking cover for safety, alongside a C-Clamp Lock for additional security, ensuring your pet's freedom doesn’t compromise home safety.
- Ease of Installation: Spring-loaded top for quick setup and removal, making it a perfect solution for temporary housing or vacation homes. No need to cut through walls or doors.
- American Craftsmanship: Proudly designed and engineered in the USA, offering superior quality, performance, and a stylish addition to your home that lasts.

One-Piece Panel
Step 1 Adjust the Step Over (Optional)
- The top of the flap should be positioned to be at least 1” above the top of the pet’s shoulder.

Step 2 Adjust the Screws
- Lay the entire panel on a flat surface.
- Using a #2 flat head screwdriver, remove the bottom side-screws and loosen the upper side-screws. Screws were tightly installed to hold the panel together during shipping; a power tool* is recommended.

- Once the bottom screws have been removed and the upper side-screws loosened, the Pet Door Assembly and spacers can be removed by sliding the sections down and out of the panel.
Step 4 Replace the Spacers

Step 5 Tighten the Screws
- When finished, replace the bottom side-screws and tighten the next upper-side screws.
Step 6 Unlock Spring Mechanism

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.
Warranty
Warranty Type: Limited.
Duration: 3 years
Coverage: Defects in materials and workmanship under standard regular use.

Damage caused by misuse or not using the product as intended.
