We have some exciting product announcements for our dealers today.

Over the years we have seen the home improvement and pet door industry landscape change greatly. For example, sliding doors used to be mostly made of wood or aluminum – now they are usually vinyl or fiberglass. Screen doors used to always be smooth metal under ½” thick – now they are assorted shapes and many are over ½” thick, etc. To keep up with these changing conditions in customer’s homes and provide solutions for problems our dealers and customers encounter while installing pet doors, we have tried to improve or expand our product line over the years to where we now offer 10 different product models in 12 sizes with countless variations and options available.

To further that philosophy we are adding three new products to our existing line and we are releasing them to our dealers first.

The first product is fiberglass “people” doors. Many customers have beautiful old French doors they don’t want to cut into or an ornate, carved door that they would prefer not to use to install a pet door. In these and similar instances, you can replace the entire people door and install something more conducive to pet door installation. You can order the solid door, with or without a pet door installed. You can also order the door with a window lite in it. The lite can be ordered with or without blinds.

The second scenario we have seen more and more of lately is that our dealers cannot get glass from a local glass company with the cutout in it for pet door installation. We are offering two separate solutions for this.

The first option is to purchase the glass with the cutout directly from Hale and we will ship it to you for installation along with the pet door as usual. This is available in virtually any size and in either double or single pane glass. Pricing and shipping would need to be quoted for each order.

The other option for pet doors in glass doors is an “H” Bar. If you can get glass locally but they can only provide pieces without the cutout, this may be a good option for you. This allows you to order a large piece of glass for the top of the door and a smaller piece for the side of the pet door from the local glass suppliers. Using the “H” bar to connect the two pieces of glass, you can then install a pet door in the window or door as normal. The “H” Bar will come with a comp strip for the top of the pet door.

Please allow 2-3 weeks for the fiberglass door or the piece of glass. “H” bars and their hardware will ship in a similar manner to our screen stabilizer bars.

Please call 800-646-4773 or email info@halepetdoor.com for more information including pricing and shipping quotes.

We look forward to growing and expanding even more with you through these exciting new products.

To your success!
