Features

• Strong & Durable – All Hale Pet doors are built with longevity in mind. Most pet doors in the market today that can be found in big box stores are not sturdy and generally have some sort of breakage after a year of use. A pet door is essentially a home improvement item. You wouldn’t cheap out on a new toilet would you?? The Hale pet door frames are made of heavy-duty extruded aluminum with steel reinforced corners.
• Energy Efficient to save you money – The Hale Omni Panel Pet Door is constructed of double pane, tempered, and low ‘e’ glass that ensures you are getting the best insulation and energy efficiency you can from a sliding glass pet door. The Hale Omni Panel also utilizes a double flap both magnetized with strong alnico5 magnets. The flap is surrounded by nylon pile weather stripping along the frame.
• Extra secure – All Hale Pet Doors include a security cover with their purchase. The security covers are made of King Starboard Polymer which makes this cover fire, shock, and impact resistant. The Hale locking cover is reinforced with a strong steel pin lock that is attached to the frame, which prevents the locking cover from being removed or opened from the outside. The included Omni Lock Bar also can be used to place behind the sliding glass door to prevent your sliding glass door from opening from the outside.
• Semi-Permanent Installation Allows Easy Removal – Since the Hale Omni Panel sits on the track and requires no drilling, the Omni Panel can be taken off at any time when not in use.

• 5 year no fault warranty – The Hale Pet door is backed by a comprehensive 5 year no fault warranty.
• Made in the USA – All Hale Pet Doors are designed and manufactured in the USA for quality purposes!

Options Information

• Flap Size – The Hale Omni Panel Sliding Glass Dog Door comes in eleven standard sizes to ensure there is a perfect fit for your animal. See size chart to see what fits best for your pet!
• Frame Color Options – Hale Pet Doors comes in four different colors for you to choose from, including Beige, Brushed Aluminum, Dark Bronze, and White.
• Measurement “A”: Overall Width of Stationary Glass Door – Measure from the back of the sliding glass door (when closed) to the opposite door jamb. This measurement is used to make the Omni Lock Bar. It follows the same principle as a length of broomstick stuck in the track.  Please supply us with the full measurement.  We will manufacture the Lock Bar to the appropriate length based on the size of pet door you are ordering. For a detailed explanation on how to measure, click here.
• Measurement “B”: Overall Height of Slider – Measured down inside the bottom track and flush with the top track. Do not measure inside both tracks or the panel will be too tall. Do no measure flush on both ends or the panel will be too short. For a detailed explanation on how to measure, click here.
• Rise or Step-Over Height – The rise or step-over height is the portion of the pet door that your pet must step over as they go through the pet door. This option allows you to specify how much clearance you would like under your pet door. The shortest possible step-over is 1” which is the equivalent of the size of the pet door frame. There is also a 5” and 10” option rise for taller animals. Keep in mind the layout of the ground on both the inside and outside of the door as you do not want your pet to have to jump through the door. If you have more than one pet, you will need a rise short enough for the pet with the shortest legs and a door opening tall enough for the tallest pet.
• Panel Installed on Option – Please specify whether your panel unit will be installed on the sliding side or the stationary side of your patio door.
• Optional Training Flap – Some pets initially resist pushing through the regular pet door flaps so we offer a flexible training flap as an optional add-on.  The training flap is made of a similar material to our regular flap but it has no strikes and has been vertically slashed several times to make it very easy to push through.  It does not, however, provide the energy efficiency of our regular flap.  Therefore, once an animal has gotten used to the training flap, the standard flaps should be re-installed one at a time.
• Optional Low ‘E’ Coating – Low E is a coating applied to the glass to reduce heat if this option is chosen.  It is untinted and reduces the heat entering through the glass while still allowing the light to come in.
• Optional Tint – Tint is a coating applied to the glass to reduce heat.  Tint changes with glass thickness and other variables and cannot be guaranteed as to color or darkness.   It is almost impossible for us to match a preexisting tint that you may have on your patio door or window.

The Hale Omni Panel vs. the Hale Standard Panel Sliding Glass Dog Doors

Sizing & Measurement

Sizing Guide

Measuring your pet for a pet door is quite simple. Follow the simple instructions below to accurately measure your pet in order to choose the right size for your pet.

Measuring Your Pet

1. Measure the Height
   
   Measuring the height of your pet is simple. The height will be used to determine how high you can install the pet door. Grab a tape measure and measure from the ground to the tallest point of your pet’s back. We suggest adding an inch or two to this measurement just to be safe.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Measure the width of your pet
   
   

   The width will be used to determine the width of the flap that you will purchase. All you need to do is open a door wide enough so that your pet can walk through comfortably. Once your pet walks through, measure that width of the opening and add an inch or two for safety.
   
   
   

   
3. Measuring the Step-Over / Rise
   
   

   The step over or “rise” is the measurement from the bottom of your door or wall to the base of the pet door. This is basically the height that your pet must step over in order to get through the door. Please note that this measurement should be factored in with the pet’s height you measured earlier when choosing an appropriate pet door height. With step overs, the lower they are, the easier it is for the pet to get through. For dogs with health issues such as arthritis or are of old age, it is recommended that you have a small step over.
   
   
   

   

To summarize, here is a diagram of the measurements you should take:

Measuring Your Door or Walls

Besides measuring your pet, you also have to measure your door or wall when installing a pet door. There are two measurements you must take into consideration: the rough opening size and the outer frame size. The rough opening size is the actual size of the hole that you will be cutting into your door or wall. Generally the inner frame of the pet door will fit in there. The outer frame measurement is the measurement of the outer framing of the pet door that’s usually a couple inches larger. For tight spaces, this outer frame measurement is important to know.

Measuring for a Sliding Glass Door Pet Door

Measuring your sliding glass door is a must before purchasing a sliding glass door panel pet door. There generally isn’t a standard height for sliding glass doors and they can vary greatly from brand to brand.

Here’s how to measure:

Place the end of the measuring tape you use up inside the track as high as it will go and measure down a convenient distance and then draw a line with a pencil.

Then, put the end of the measuring tape down into the track towards the bottom and start measuring from the line you drew previously.

Simply add those two numbers together and you got your track height.

If you measure all at once, you might not get the most accurate number as the measuring tape curves towards the bottom. The different sizing ranges for panels is precise and if you happen to mis-measure, it will become a hassle.

Other Things to Consider When Choosing the Correct Size Pet Door

If you currently have a puppy or kitten, remember that they will continue to grow. Finding out the size that they will be approximately can help you make the right purchase. People often judge this based on their parents’ size.

Having a door that is mounted low gives more comfort for pets to step over. Young pets should have no problem going through a door, but as they age, having a higher step over can become an issue for pets with health issues.

Making sure the pet door is tall enough for your pet is also crucial with age as having a pet door that is too short will require hunching from your pet, which over time can be hard on your pet’s hips. Flaps will generally last longer too if the pet isn’t rubbing against the top part of the door as well.

If you have multiple pets, make sure that the door you get can accommodate all of them. It must be low enough for the shortest pet to step over but also tall enough for the tallest one to fit through comfortably.
