Modified on Mon, 2 Jun at 1:56 PM

Choosing between the Mesh and Glass Patio Pet Doors depends on your home setup and how you plan to use the door. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences: 


Mesh Patio Pet Door

  • Lightweight & Removable: Designed to be easily inserted and removed from your mesh screen door.

  • Great for Day Use: Ideal when you're home and want your pet to roam freely without letting in bugs or insects.

  • Not Designed for Security: This option does not lock and should be removed when you're locking up your home.

  • Quick Setup: Easy to use on a daily basis - slips in and out of the mesh track quickly.


Tip: Perfect for pet access during the day when security is not a concern.

Glass Patio Pet Door

  • Secure Installation: Designed to fit into the glass sliding door track and lock in place using various methods, depending on your setup.

    Glass Patio - Installation - What Locking Options Are Available?

  • Stay-in-Place Design: Allows pets access even while you're away.

  • Added Security: A better option for homeowners who need to maintain access for pets while keeping the house secure and locked.

  • More Permanent: Typically installed for longer periods without frequent removal.


Tip: Ideal for more permanent use or when security is important.
