PATIOLOCK™ | PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE
Check Your Door. Choose Your PatioLock™. Order With Confidence.
If you are ready to order, then follow the checks below to select the correct options. If you have not learnt about the PatioLock™ system and its benefits yet then go to the homepage now.
THE SYSTEM IN 20 SECONDS
Two Locks. Your Existing Locks Stay Untouched.
The PatioLock Insert uses two adjustable fittings on the pet-door panel. One connects to the wall frame, and the other receives the existing glass-door handle lock. No transferring the original locks or screwing into the door frame on compatible systems.
Watch how the two locks work. PatioLock engages the original fittings on both sides without moving your glass-door locks.
Pet door to wall frame
The PatioLock hook engages the existing wall-frame striker, securing the insert to the frame.
Glass door to pet door
Your existing glass-door handle hook locks into PatioLock's adjustable striker. The original lock stays untouched.
Fittings attach to the pet-door panel using the supplied Allen keys. Note - Locking a security-screen will require transferring the striker/s on to the adapter using a few screws but there remains no damage to the sliding door system as you can put the striker/s back in their original position if/when you move home.
CHECK BEFORE YOU ORDER
Four Quick Checks to Select the Right Options.
Check your lock type, frame height and depth & flap size. Then order using the options at the top of the page.
Check Your Sliding-Door Lock Type
Open your sliding glass door and flick the lever. Either one or two hooks will rotate out from the side of the glass door handle. Note for TWO hook locks, you will need to depress and hold the little chrome pin in on the side of the handle with your finger tip for the hooks to release and rotate. Then just select either the ONE or TWO hook lock at checkout to match your lock. Pictures below for reference.

One-hook or two-hook?
Single hook: Compare your handle with the single-hook examples in the top portion of the photograph.
Two hooks: Compare with the two-hook examples in the lower portion.
Your lock hook/s must rotate out from the side of the glass door handle frame, not from inside the aluminium frame around the glass.
Unsure which type you have? Send photos of the handle and wall-frame striker to modpetdoors@gmail.com before ordering.
Check Your Sliding-Door Frame Height
The standard PatioLock height guide is 199–211 cm. Two measurements matter:
Red arrow: From the floor-track base to the LOWEST point of the top track — at least 199 cm.
Blue arrow: From inside bottom to inside top of the glass door frame - max 211cm.
Extension kits are available for taller Medium and Large models; read the technical details and add Height Extension Kits to cart via shop-pet door options.

Choose the Correct Flap Size for Your Pet
Reference the flap sizes below relative to the shoulder height of your pet. The Flap height is measured from the ground to the top of the flap — not from the top of the bottom rail. Ideally, we recommend that your dog is shorter than the top of the flap. However, many dogs can duck easily 10cm or more if they are agile and healthy.
| Flap size | Width | Ground to top |
|---|---|---|
| Medium | 22 cm | 41 cm |
| Large | 27 cm | 61 cm |
| XL | 39 cm | 71 cm |
Check Wall-Frame Depth for Adjustable Screen Door Adapter Compatability.
Open your Glass Door and Screen Door and face the frame running up the wall that the doors close in to. Then just measure across the entire frame from inside the house across to the outer edge of the screen door channel as per the red arrow in the picture to the right. Do not include lock mechanisms.
The frame measurement for common frames is 10cm or less - this is compatible with the 10cm deep Adjustable Screen Door Adapter- recommended to seal and secure the GLASS door and also allow for screen door use (If you have one).
Note that stacker doors with multiple panels or commercial style frames that are much thicker than common single glazed frames require individual assessment. Email pics and/or refer to the FAQ page item on stacker doors for more info.

RECOMMENDED ADDITION
Why Add the Adjustable Screen Door Adapter?
The name understates its purpose. The adapter helps create a closing channel for your sliding glass door, even if you do not have or use a flyscreen.
Locking a separate security screen may require screws and tools. This is distinct from the standard screw-free PatioLock glass-door installation.
QUICK BUYER SUMMARY
Five Problems PatioLock Is Designed to Avoid
These points are explained in greater detail on the homepage. They are included here as a brief buying reminder.
Compatible standard PatioLock configurations avoid transferring the original glass-door locks and drilling into the door frame. The optional adapter is recommended for improved sealing.

Very happy fur mum
Delivered swiftly. Customer service was great answering all my questions prior to purchasing. Putting it together was a bit of a puzzle, but worked it out eventually. Overall very happy with my purchase:)
Great Quality and Security
After months of researching I settled on the PatioLock model with the additional security panel. I am so pleased that I did. It might have been slightly more expensive than others but it was worth every cent. It locks perfectly which puts us at ease. The kit came with every conceivable bit which allowed for a great seal. Colour (silver) is a very close match. Can’t be happier.
PatioLock Model
The door was easy to install. There was a little work involved in assembling/aligning the door latches but the instructions were relatively clear. All in all, we are very happy with the pet door. Now we just have to get the cats used to using it!
Convenient, looks great
So easy to install. Works well and looks great. Excellent service and fast. This is our second one, for another door, i gave this 4 stars because compared to the first door, this one taps and clicks. The magnets are loose in the bottom, so doesn't grab/close the flap as quickly as the first door. Otherwise awesome and highly recommended.
Black XL Patio Lock Model
Cannot fault this business at all. I received fantastic customer service support during the order process. The door itself is good quality and was less complicated to put together than anything from IKEA. Would not hesitate to purchase from them again
Modern Pet Door
I found the door to be of a high quality, everything needed was included. The instructions are comprehensive. The only negative for my dog is she was used to a very soft flexible PVC door from a pup and didn't like the Polycarbonate door, so I removed this and installed soft PVC strips for her. Otherwise very happy with the product, the fast delivery and value for money.
Patio lock
Very good product and excellent quality. However stated that no tools required. I needed tools. Also it was missing locking mechanism screews and bolts i just recycled my existing lock for the both the glass sliding door and the security door. Otherwise it is perfect and the price is lower than competitors. Very happy with it.
Exceptional Quality and Ease of installation
Quality product backed by good installation instructions. The kit offered sufficient accessories to support you customised installation. i didn't need to use all the accessories supplied.
