Double Pane In Glass Model

The Hale Pet Door™ “Double Pane In Glass Model” is designed to be installed directly into a pane of glass in an existing sliding glass door, single-lite French door, window, or other areas with glass up to 2” thick. The double-pane model is a specially modified door model that is used with any tempered insulated glass unit from 1/4" to 2” thick. If you have single-pane 3/16” tempered safety glass you would need to order our Single Pane model instead.

Double Pane In Glass Model Technical Drawing

Due to building codes requiring tempered glass in all doors and windows, this application requires replacing the entire existing pane of glass with a new pane that has the hole precut for the pet door. Because of this, the in glass installation can be one of the more expensive ways to add a pet door to your home but it is also the most attractive and unobtrusive option for glass door or window installation. It also allows you full use of your sliding glass door, unlike panel models that obstruct a large section of the passageway. Professional glass cutting and installation is required so this application is not currently available in all locations. Call or email for availability in your area.

Hale Pet Door Alnico Magnet Technical Drawing

Alnico5 Magnets

A 1/4” rod magnet 1 1/2” long made from an aluminum, nickel and cobalt alloy known for its strength and durability. Ribbed holders made of 6063-T5 aluminum secure magnets into door frame. Door size determines number and placement of magnets.

Strikes

Made of ferrous stainless steel. 1 1/2” long, 3/4” tall and 1/32” thick. U shaped with a center hole for a rivet to securely attach to the flaps. Door size determines number and placement of strikes on each flap.

Security Cover

1/4” thick high-density polyethylene sheet. Extremely shock and impact resistant. Has a 3/8” diameter locking hole and preinstalled knob for easy removal.

Cover Knob

A lightweight zinc alloy cabinet knob pull-type handle in a satin nickel finish that is 25/32” wide, 19/32” tall and 53/64” deep with a 1/2” deep and 21/32” wide finger hole. It is attached to the cover with a 12 mm long zinc-coated steel flat head Philips screw with a .70 thread size that is countersunk to prevent scratching the frame.

Pin Lock

A 1/4” diameter positive action steel pin encased with 5/32” thick fabricated plated steel.

Weather Stripping

Flap is designed to be surrounded by ½” nylon pile for maximum insulation. Nylon is woven into a backing 9/32” wide and 1/32” thick. Metal holders made of 6063-T5 aluminum secure weather stripping into door frame. Door size determines number and size of weather stripping pieces provided.

Replacement Glass

Double pane model installation requires insulated tempered replacement glass up to 2” thick. The new glass is cut to the size of the original pane of glass and the pet door opening is cut into the bottom left or right-hand side. This new pane of glass is installed into the original frame along with the pet door. The original pane of glass is removed and saved. The pet door itself can be purchased separately but generally requires professional installation and glass replacement.

Buildout

A spacer made of extruded 6063-T5 aluminum that sleeves onto the flange of the interior frame that allows the frames in a double pane installation to be spread apart sufficiently to allow the two frames to be fastened together at the sleeved flange area. Width of the buildout varies depending on the glass thickness.

Hale Pet Door Compensation Strip Tech Spec Drawing

Compensation Strips

1” thick high-density polyethylene strips. Designed to be inserted into two edges of the door frame along one side and the bottom of the pet door to compensate for the missing glass that has been cut away. Width varies on double pane model to match the thickness of the glass being replaced.
