Screen Model

The Hale Pet Door™ “Screen Model” is our most simple model. Its three styles are designed or can be modified to fit into almost any screen door or window screen as well as many screened rooms. The screen model has been especially simplified for this application and therefore only has a single flap and no security cover.

Standard Under 1/2" Model

This style of screen pet door comes with two sides of main frame and two sides of spline frame. The main frame is designed to sleeve over an existing screen door frame of 1/2" thickness or less. The specially designed spline frame has tracks on both sides for the screen spline making this version completely reversible for installation in either corner of the screen door or window. Can also be made with three sides of main frame and only one side of spline frame for situations like sidelights.

Universal Model

This style of screen pet doors has spline frame on all four sides. It is designed to be used with screen doors that have a frame thickness greater than 1/2". The door is held in place with metal retainers in the spline frame and we recommend adding our screen stabilizer bar at the top for additional support. This model is also completely reversible for installation in either corner of the screen door or window.

Cutdown Model

This model is the most versatile but once modifications have been made installation options are limited. It comes standard with two sides of main frame and two sides of spline frame but the main frame is trimmed off on one side so it will fit over screen door frames wider than 1/2". Once this frame is cut down the screen pet door is no longer reversible. This is also the most common model used for three and four-sided main frame pet doors which are popular in lanais and screened porches.

Main Frame

Extruded 6063-T5 aluminum with .063” wall thickness. The Under 1/2" model straddles the screen door frame on outside and bottom. Designed to accept frame thicknesses up to 1/2”. Can be factory modified for thicker frames by removing the outside leg. Not used on universal model.

Spline Frame

Extruded 6063-T5 aluminum with .063” wall thickness. On Under 1/2" and Cutdown models it is attached to main frame and is the top and inner side of the pet door. On Universal models all four sides are made from spline frame.

Weather Stripping

Flap is surrounded by 1/2” nylon pile for maximum insulation. Nylon is woven into a backing 9/32” wide and 1/32” thick.
