View of Bottom Section / Spec Info

The top spring-loaded adjusting section of all Security Boss Side Sliding Window Pet Doors appears as an "H" piece when viewed from the side. The overall width of this piece is 11/16" (Will fit into most any sliding window door track).

The spring-loaded adjustment provides for a 3.25" range for proper fitting into your opening. Most top tracks in sliding windows do not have any center rails, however, if you do have this feature then the Insert can straddle any rail at the top 9/16" wide or narrower.

The spring-loaded top is secured with 2 thumbscrew locks, accessible from the interior only, so that someone from the exterior of the house would not be able to compress or remove the unit.

The bottom section of all Security Boss Side Sliding Window Inserts have an overall width of 5/16". A semi-circle, "C" channel is centered and runs the length of the bottom. This "C" channel is design to straddle the center rail in the base of your sliding window.

By straddling this center rail, the Window Insert will remain centered to the frame of your sliding window when closed to this unit.

Note: If the center rail in the bottom channel is wider than 5/16", then this Window Insert will not be able to straddle it and as a result may not fit properly in your opening

Measuring for the Side Sliding Window Pet Door:

To determine which height range will work with your sliding window, open the sliding window and measure from the very bottom inside track to the very top inside track. As you look down on the groove that the window slides within, you may see a thin rail. You will want to measure down past that rail, from the deepest part of the base channel to the very top inside channel.

Will These Side Sliding Window Pet doors fit all Sliding Windows?

As you look at the base track your window follows; you most often will see a "rail". If this "rail" is 5/16" or narrower,(as you look down on it), then the SB Standard Side Sliding Window Insert should fit your window. All Security Boss Window Insert will fit channels that are at least 1" wide.

Included Weather stripping:

Every Security Boss Side Sliding Window Insert features a replaceable bulb seal that lines both sides of the window insert. This bulb seal provides a superior weather seal between the insert and the window jam and sliding window. This weather seal can also be replaced if needed very easily by sliding the weatherstripping into the t-slot groove on your Window Insert.



The weather seal is a 3" wide vinyl weather stripping section that attaches to the back side of your sliding window. When an insert is installed, your sliding window breaks the seal between the sliding window and fixed window panel. This weather stripping will seal out any drafts.

Adjustable Height Range:

The top section of the Security Boss Side Sliding Window Pet Door floats on two tension rods that compress or expand to obtain the best possible fit into the window frame. The top is fit into the upper window track and the bottom rests on the bottom window track. Once in place, there are two thumb bolts that lock the top section into place to prevent the Window Insert from being removed from the outside.

 

How does my Sliding Window Lock?

We strongly suggest bracing the door with a stick or an adjustable brace bar; as this immobilizes your window and is the most effective way to secure your side sliding window insert. We also offer several locking devices for purchase if your situation requires.

Different ways to Install the Side Sliding Window Pet Door:

The Security Boss Side Sliding Window Pet Door can be mounted on the stationary side of the window. Many windows have stoppers that normally prevent the stationary panel from moving. If these stoppers can be removed, the stationary panel can be moved to accommodate the Window Insert.
Note: This technique will not work with windows where the stationary panel is molded into the frame.
