Ordering Instructions for Hale Pet Products:
When ordering a Hale Cat Door for Screens it is important that you carefully follow these instructions. You will be contacted for this information after placing your order.
Screen Frame Thickness Options: The Hale pet screen door has various thickness options, which are listed below. When measuring your screen frame you will need to measure the thickest part.
If your screen frame thickness is up to 1/2", but no less than 3/8": You will receive the under 1/2" model which has a 3/4" deep u-shaped flange to hug the bottom and one side of your screen door frame. If the frame is under 3/8" then the framing might not be sturdy enough to support the pet door, so the manufacturer does not recommend this pet door for those instances.
If the frame is over 1/2" and you will have two choices:
Options 1: You can choose the universal model which can work on frames up to 1".
Option 2: For frames over 1" you can choose the custom cut version (used mainly for situations such as screen porches or sidelights) where the Universal model would not work. In this case, Hale will trim off one of the flanges on the channel in order to accommodate very thick framing. The remaining flange is 3/4" long and 3/4" deep. This is considered a custom, special order and all returns will only receive a 50% credit.
If you do choose the custom cut we will need to know two more pieces of info (which you will provide to us on a link in your order confirmation):
- Spline on the Interior or Exterior: You will have to choose whether the spline for your screen is located on the interior or the exterior. This is determined by looking at the frame from the inside of your house. Your pet door must be installed on the same side as the screen mesh and spline. The factory will ensure that the framing provided will accommodate that.
- Pet Door Installs in Which Lower Corner: You will need to specify whether you'll be installing the pet door in the lower left or lower right corner of the screen frame looking at the frame from the inside of your house.
Installation Instructions:
Installation instructions - Up to 1/2" and Custom Cut (specific info steps 8 & 9).
Installation instructions - Universal over 1/2" (up to 1").

Installation for Hale Pet Doors for Screens Always wear eye protection and gloves when appropriate. Please read all instructions completely before installation.
The Hale Pet Door “Screen Pet Door” is designed to fit into one of the lower corners of a screen door frame or screen window frame that is ½” thick or less. In screen frames that are ½” thick or less the pet door is completely reversible and will fit into either corner of the screen frame.
The purchaser must specify when ordering if their screen frame is thicker than ½” so modifications can be made at the factory to accommodate those frames. Once modifications are made at the factory the pet door is no longer reversible. This means that a “right” or “left” determination must be made at the point of order. This is done from the perspective of a person standing inside the screen and looking outward to determine on which side they wish to install the pet door: right or left.
Note: The Hale Pet Door™ screen model is not designed to work on security doors. A “door” model is much better choice for a security screen application.

Custom: Up to 1/2" and Custom Cut (specific info steps 8 & 9).
Universal: Universal Over 1/2" (up to 1").
Step 1 Pre-Installation Check
- Before installation, be sure that you have the proper size pet door for your pet.
- Take a brief look at the large diagrams of the screen model at the end of the instructions and become familiar with various components of the screen model. This will not only help in understanding the terms used in these instructions but can be very useful should you need to call for technical support.
Step 2 Prep Screen Door for Installation
- If the pet door has not already been factory modified for a certain position, determine which corner of the screen door is to be used for installing the pet door.
- Remove the screen window or door from its track. The screen door can generally be removed by lifting it upward and swinging the bottom inward. Occasionally the wheels will interfere with removal. In this case, the wheels will need to be lifted upward to clear the track.
- Lay the screen window or screen door on a flat surface with the screen spline facing upward.
Step 3 Remove Screen Spline
- Remove the screen spline (the ribbed rubber around the screen) from the installation corner. Needle-nosed pliers work very well for removing the screen spline or you can also carefully use a screwdriver at the corner to get started. If using a screwdriver, be careful not to cut into the spline or slice into the finish of the door frame
- After you have pulled up the spline, fold the screen material back only at the corner in which you want to install the pet door.
Step 4 POSITION PET DOOR FRAME
- Slide the pet door over the frame at the corner. Make sure the pet door is adjusted properly and operates smoothly while in position. It should be flush against both the bottom and side edges.
Step 5 Drill and Screw Through the Frame
- Drill through the sides and bottom of the inner pet door frame and screen frame with the 7/64” drill provided. Insert the #6 screws with a Phillips screwdriver. Be sure the screws will not interfere with the operation of the screen door.
Step 6 Reapply Screen Material
- Lay the screen material over the pet door. Pull the screen material taut. To hold the screen fabric around the pet door, insert the screen spline with a flat headed screwdriver or screen spline roller.
- When installing the spline in the corner of the pet door unit, it may be necessary to cut a small diagonal split up into the screen material in order to relieve the tension on the screen fabric and allow it to be pulled down into the spline frame track.
Step 7 Cut Away Excess Material
- Cut away any excess screen spline with a razor blade or scissors. Cut away the excess screen material with a razor blade being careful not to cut into the screen spline or the finish of the pet door.
Step 8 Reinstall Screen Door
- Reinstall the screen door or screen window into its original position.
Step 9 Adjust Magnet Placement
- After reinstalling the screen into a vertical position, adjust the magnets in the pet door upward or downward if needed. The magnets are pressure fitted and can be adjusted downward by tapping lightly with the handle of your screwdriver. They can be adjusted upward by twisting a flat headed screwdriver below the magnet between the magnet and frame.
- Your installation is now completed. We hope you and your pet enjoy your HALE PET DOOR™ for years to come.

Very sturdy screen door
I really like how this frame attaches to the frame of your screen, rather than just sandwiching the screen itself like some of the cheaper models do. The magnets keep the door closed and the bugs outside. The frame options can be a bit confusing, but customer service was great and helped me choose which type was the best for my screen.
Nice Quality
Really nice quality cat door for screens. Has real vinyl flap instead of reusing the screen like most do. It also is stable because it uses the side and bottom of frame to hold it in place. I chose dark brown to match my screen, but they have a lot of colors. Oh and the warranty is awesome at five years.
Really nice
Door looks really high quality and appears it will hold up longer than the one that just popped on the screen. The install was a little more challenging being not handy, but got it done. Love it!
Hallelujah
If left unsupervised, my cat will claw his way out through the screen doors to get outside. We went through a few screen doors before setting out to find a cat door that we could permanently install through the screen. This door is durable and the flap is pretty strong as well - doesn't let in flies or other bugs.
kitties love this
I use this in the window that lets the cats access their catio. They love going outside now and it gives them so much more exercise. Now they spend more time outside than they do inside! This cat door was easy to install and easy to train. With some flap cleaning here and there, this should last a really long time!
