Shipping Note: Patio Inserts, due to their size and height combinations can result in higher shipping costs
near or over $100.00. This is a surcharge given by FedEx and UPS for
packages that due to their size require special handling.
Special Note: Some sites say you MUST use a Vinyl Insert with Vinyl
Sliders. This is INCORRECT. As long as the center rail in the channel
on the floor is 1/4" or less as you look down on it, any of our models
will work.
Note Regarding Vinyl Patio Inserts:
"Vinyl" Inserts are a newer offering in Sliding glass door pet inserts. Another description of these inserts is "Plastic". They are typically thicker than aluminum inserts, and require the customer to permanently install them with hardware and screws. Most aluminum inserts can be used in a permanent or semi-permanent installation making them more popular and friendly for pet owners.
Having either vinyl, wood or aluminum sliding doors does not mean you need the same type of pet insert. Aluminum inserts are the most popular choices for all sliding door customers.
