4. Need Spare Parts or Extra Locks? 


Each Glass Patio Pet Door comes with both the Damage Free and Toggle locking option by default, but additional locking kits or accessories can be purchased separately if you need a different solution or a replacement part.

4. Want Visual Help?


We recommend checking out our installation video for a full walkthrough of both mounting methods and additional tips. 






Note: The Glass Patio Pet Door is not a security door and should not be used as a primary security measure. While built from strong aluminium and tempered glass, we recommend using the semi-permanent locking system (brackets and toggle lock) for better security. It’s the customer’s responsibility to ensure the door is suitably secure
