PetSafe Freedom Sliding Glass Pet Door Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- Most dog doors require you to cut a hole in the door of your house or one of the outdoor walls of your home. This Sliding Glass Pet Door from PetSafe easily installs inside the track of an existing sliding glass door. That means no holes in your doors or walls, and it's easy to take with you if you move. Read the full review here: topdogtips.com/petsafe-freedo...
There are lots of different types of dog doors available, from electronic pet doors to the traditional plastic flaps that install in a wall or door. If you think a sliding glass pet door is right for you and your pup, this model from PetSafe is one of the few available models on the market.
"The measuring guidelines for this dog door are shown in the photo on the right. We have the large size, and it works well for our Labrador and our Beagle. Even our cats go in and out through our sliding glass pet door. If you have a multi-pet household, I recommend choosing the size that is appropriate for your largest pet."

Thank you for the video! My slider is a triple door, opening on both sides, so since I saw you not drill anything, I can try it on both sides and see which way I prefer! So helpful, thank you!
How the heck this get 12 thumbs down? Haters gotta hate I guess.
Good video, and thanks it helped me make the call to buy this door.
Awesome video. Years after it keeps on helping.
Thank you for this! I'm considering getting one for my apartment.
Very helpful thank you. I’ll be buying one soon after seeing this video!
Very good review. I'm sold, this is the one I am going to buy.
Hi from faaaaar northern Canada. THANK YOU for being the ONLY patio dog door reviewer on YT to mention mosquitoes and winter drafts!!!
-20F to -40F is normal here for 6 months a year, then we get our spring, which is like Maine in the winter (less cold, more damp, and a lot of snow). All I care about in a dogdoor review is mosquitos and wind/cold. "Summer" is 90 days long and the screen door dog door is good for that, but useless in the winter (aka: most of the year).
I think I can make this door work for up here.
How well does the flap stop mosquitoes and knats in the summer? Does it seal tightly on the sides?
Thanks!
Just bought one for our puppy. This was the best review. You sold me. 🙂 Hoping installation goes smooth. 😬
How did you get on with your door? We recently bought ours but I’m not happy with the lack of security it offers after its in. We can’t lock the sliding door anymore and the locking latch it comes with isn’t secure either.
I was curious to know your experience. Thanks
I had to buy pipe foam covers to use as weather stripping. We had large gaps. It works fine that way. Ours doesn’t lock either. So we have to remove it each night. Kind of a pain, but we don’t want to put it in permanently.
@@IanSolano just put a board behind the door to prevent it opening.😊
Thanks so much for this video now that I've seen that you love it I think I'll buy it. They do look like they are made with quality materials. Love your chocolate lab.
How are you liking the petdoor?
@@thirteenthgrade508 love it, it's the only way to take care of your dogs. I have a German. Shepard Husky and she fits right through.
@@Tachinaori awesome! Thanks for the response. How is it with the cold weather any problems with drafts from the doggie door? I know there is weather stripping
@@thirteenthgrade508 yeah it will draft a bit...
I wish the magnet was a bit stronger to keep the plastic closed but if the wind is too bad I just lock it closed.
How is the insulation? Does air slip through easily?
Hi! Does the lock come with it or you put it on yourself?
Ty for this! Idk who gives this thumbs down ... maybe they aren’t technology literate and think they are rating the item lmao 🤣??? Who knows but well spoken and informative! Thnx again!
Hi saw your review, I was wondering if your sliding door is a Pella door. I have a Pella sliding door, it is metal clad white on the outside and wood on the front side and was wondering if this Petsafe dog door will work with my Pella sliding door? Thank you for your time.
How does it work in the summer? I live in AZ, but my dog loves sitting on the patio; can the pet door close when we have the AC on?
Is it user friendly? You are able to use the sliding glass door with no troubles?
I live in an apartment and I would like for my dog to be able to go out to the patio on his own. This is perfect.
I rent at an apartment, the 3 bedroom we currently are renting has a broken mesh lining and my cat loves to go in and out. In a few months we’ll be moving and I was looking to see if we could get something like this, but we rent and wouldn’t be able to strew it in, do you feel like that’s a necessity or is it pretty sturdy without that?
How secure do you think it is ? Let's say you got locked out would it be the easiest way into your house, my all knowing 15 and 20 year old seem to think it's a bad idea and we should install one in the wall
Where did you get the lock
We bought this door but ours has a sliver of light that comes thru where the two pieces meet did you have that issue?
Did you have to do any drilling? Is it pretty secure without attaching the screws to the door frame? Thank you for sharing!
Yes u have to drill
What kinda of lock did you use
Where did you but it ? And was the name of it
My brother santos needs this he has a few cats 🐈
Where I can buy
Where do you buy? :)
Does it lock still?
Is there a way to add or lock the sliding glass door to add security?
I’d just add a metal or wooden stick, that with the screws I think you’d be good
Is there a locking mechanism for the dog door itself?
no, the original locking mechanism is abandoned and a sliding glass door pin lock is supplied.
"We live in Maine... it's a little bit cold here"
OK... miss understatement...
haha... thanks for the video!
I’m a bit confused as to why you installed the door with the spring adjustments facing toward the outside???? Those need to be inside or maybe you don’t care bcuz you have a loaded 12 gauge next to your vanity? Either way works but that’s not how I would have installed it.
this would be good for amateur radio operators who want to feed a cable outside to their portable tripod mounted antenna. I would rather have one integrated onto the frame of the doors.
I don’t understand why they suggest to install in front of the door that has the handle and lock, in this case the right sliding door. I placed it behind the left door, slide it over to the right and placed doggie door, secured left door in place, and my front right door locks to its original latch. Engineers and manuals sometimes not so great, wish I can send a pic of my installation so they can rewrite the introductions manual🤣🤣🤣
Can it prevent animals that aren't your own from coming in? Like does it have RFID microchip recognition scanning to let only pets that are yours and are microchipped in and out?
No
Seriously?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t know why people are laughing at this question... I had the same one. I’d like for it to be more secure than that
Install a doggie retina scan for added security 👍🏼
Thank you. But I hate the Bruins!
How secure is it against a burger?
If a burger wants to break in, ill eat it
I have a cast iron skillet and seasoning for the burger
Better come with fries and a coke😂
I'm confused why these doors are popular, sure they're easy to install but you're halving the width of your door, which will be a lot of fun carrying a tray of food in from the grill or if you're fat.
Yeah I don’t think you’ll fit through that doggie door with a tray of food 😂
Your sliding door panels are in the wrong tracks. They will operate just fine but are not very security safe.
Please don't put the spring levers on the outside of the door - that just leaves it vulnerable to thieves.
Whoever installed your sliding door put it in wrong. The sliding part needs to be on the inside, not the outside, so someone cant lift it up and out of the channel.
