The Hale Pet Door™ “Single 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 that is 3/16” thick. Due to its track design, it can only be used with glass that is 3/16” or thinner (we urge caution when deciding to use in thinner glass however as this glass can break more easily). If your glass thickness if 1/4" or greater, you would need to order our Double Pane model instead even if you have a single pane of glass.

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.
