Why Choose a Hale Pet Door
Hale Pet DoorTM
Quality Construction and Features for Superior Service and Reliability

Heavy Frame of Extruded Aluminum
Far superior to plastic or pressed metal frames for strength and durability

Steel Reinforced Corners
Multiple corner reinforcement adds even more strength to our heavy extruded frame
High-Density Polyethylene Security Cover
This material is also used in marine applications as well as security and other industrial applications and is designed to stand up to the harshest weather conditions. It is environmentally stabilized for harsh sun and will not rot, swell, splinter, or delaminate when exposed to humidity or water. Its durable matte-textured surface on both sides is easy to clean and never needs refinishing. It has even passed the Federal Motor Vehicle Standard 302 fire test required for use in motor vehicles, including motorhomes. This security cover is available in opaque black, white, gray, or tan colors and is able to be locked in place with a positive action steel "pin lock".


Frame Finishes
We use two types of finish on Hale doors, either anodized aluminum or hard coat paint. Anodizing is a type of electrolysis used to place a protective oxide coating on the metal. This produces a colored surface that cannot be rubbed off or scratched easily. Both finishes are very durable and are the very best available.

Steel Pin Lock
Our positive action pin lock is attached to the frame rather than the security cover itself as in many other pet doors. This prevents the lock from being opened from the outside. It also prevents the lock from scratching the wall or people door when the cover is opened or closed.

Zinc Alloy Cover Removal Knob
For ease of use in operating the cover whether top or side loading, we provide a lightweight zinc alloy knob or handle to open and close the cover. The ergonomic design of the knob is especially useful for older people with arthritis or when the door is located in a hard to reach area. It cradles your finger as you move the cover to and from the pet door giving you the highest level of comfort. With its attractive satin nickel finish, the knob complements all the available frame and cover colors of Hale Pet Door (NOTE: some photos on this site still show the finger hole instead of the handle. The handle is considered standard but the finger holes are still available where the handle would interfere with functionality.)

Nylon Weatherstripping
Aids greatly in the energy efficiency of our doors and gives added protection from insect intrusion

Multiple Types and Layers of Weatherstripping
We have tried to look at all the areas where air leaks could occur and where insects could intrude and have various solutions to help seal these areas.

Vinyl Weatherstripping
Vinyl weatherstripping is included with our panel and window models to help seal the opening of your door or window

Raincaps Divert Water
Our color matched raincaps attach to the frames of our door or walls models to divert water away from the area and prevent problems before they can start. We also recommend caulking around the outside top and sides of our door or wall pet doors to prevent water intrusion.

Custom Designed Flashing for Water Containment
Our flashing attachment (on applicable models) was invented by Hale Pet Door to work in conjunction with our raincaps to help prevent problems that could be caused by water intrusion. The flashing helps contain any water that might get inside the pet door and prevent it getting inside your walls.

PVC Vinyl Flaps
Our flaps are stronger and longer lasting than other available materials. Most Hale Pet Doors come standard with two separate flaps for maximum energy efficiency and protection from wind, unwanted animals and insects. Single flap Hale Pet Doors are also available in all models.

Stainless Steel Strikes
Our custom designed strikes are made of stainless steel to prevent rusting and discoloration of the flaps from the strikes. They line up with the Alnico magnets in the door frame to provide a weather-tight seal around the flap of the pet door.

Heavy Duty Alnico Magnets
Alnico magnets are made from aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and iron. They are much stronger and longer lasting than graphite magnets. They keep the flap in place to give greater protection from wind, unwanted animals and insects.

Heavy Aluminum Tunnel
All Hale Wall Model pet doors come with a heavy .040 aluminum tunnel which connects the inside frame to the outside frame.

Mold Resistant Carpet
All Hale Wall Model pet doors come with mold and mildew resistant nylon carpet that covers the sides and bottom of the tunnel between the pet door flaps.

High-Quality Glass
The glass used in Hale Pet Door Panel and Window Models is double pane insulated tempered glass standard for energy efficiency. Our single pane in glass model, and storm window replacement model all use single pane tempered glass whenever possible. Upon customer request in certain instances, we can use clear acrylic in our single pane models.
