Before purchasing a Mesh Patio Pet Door, it’s essential to check your sliding screen door setup to ensure a proper fit. A few quick checks can help you avoid installation issues.
1. Check for Locking Hardware in the Track
Some sliding screen doors have locking hardware or latches installed inside the track, often near the handle.
This can prevent the Mesh Patio Pet Door from fitting correctly.
Look for any screws or fittings in the track where the pet door would sit.
2. If Locking Hardware Is Present
In most cases, you can unscrew and remove the hardware, storing it safely for later use.
Keep in mind that removing it will disable your screen door’s current lock. You will still be able to lock your glass sliding door.
3. If You Don’t Want to Remove Hardware
Consider our Glass Patio Pet Door, which locks directly to your glass sliding door and leaves your screen door hardware untouched.
