What to know
Pet Door Installation in Tampa Bay: What to Know
A sliding glass door with dog door access lets the dog out to the lanai or the yard without a person on door duty, which in Tampa Bay usually means twenty trips a day in August. There are two good ways to do it. A patio panel insert is an aluminum panel with a pet flap that sits in the track beside the sliding panel; it goes in without cutting anything and comes out when you move. An in-glass pet door replaces one glass panel of the door with a new tempered panel that has the pet door built into the bottom corner, for a cleaner, permanent look with no lost width in the opening.
Palm Sliding Doors installs both across Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel and the rest of the bay. The panel insert is fitted to your door height with a proper weather seal and a lock adjustment, because the insert moves the sliding panel and the original latch no longer meets its keeper. The in-glass option is a glass replacement job: we measure the panel, order a tempered unit with the pet door installed at the factory, and set it in your existing door frame. Both come in sizes from cats and small dogs to large breeds, with locking covers for when you want the door closed and energy-efficient flaps for the air conditioning.
The result is a slider that still slides, still locks and still seals, with a door your pet can use on its own. A standard panel insert is the simplest installation and a large in-glass pet door in a new tempered panel is the most involved, priced before we order. It is also an easy add-on to a roller or glass service call. Every installation carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty.

What Affects Your Price
- Insert vs. in-glass. A patio panel insert is the least expensive and removable. An in-glass pet door needs a new tempered panel, which costs more but looks built in.
- Flap size. Small and medium flaps for cats and small dogs cost less than large and extra-large flaps for big breeds.
- Door height. Eight-foot doors need taller inserts or larger glass panels than standard 80-inch doors.
- Glass type. In-glass pet doors are usually tempered. Insulated or impact glass panels with a pet door cost more.
- Lock adjustment. A panel insert shifts the latch. Adjusting the lock or adding a secondary lock is included in most installs.

FAQ
Pet Door Installation Questions, Answered
How much does it cost to install a pet door in a sliding glass door?
The type of pet door sets the price. A standard patio panel insert is the simplest installation; an in-glass pet door in a new tempered panel depends on flap size and glass type. We give a flat price before we order.
Which is better, a panel insert or an in-glass pet door?
An insert is cheaper, removable and good for renters or anyone who might move. An in-glass door looks built in, keeps the full door width, and seals better. Both lock and both work with the existing slider.
Will my sliding door still lock with a pet door insert?
Yes. The insert shifts the sliding panel, so we adjust the latch or add a secondary lock as part of the install. The pet door itself has a locking cover.
What size pet door does my dog need?
Measure from the floor to your dog's shoulder and the widest point of the chest. We match that to the flap size on the visit, allowing for growth on puppies.
Can you put a pet door in an impact sliding door?
Panel inserts work with any door but reduce the storm protection while in place. In-glass pet doors are available in some impact panels; we check your door and advise.
