Still do not know which flap size to get? Here is a measurement guide to help you out.
Sliding Door Measurements - If your measured track height is near the bottom of the adjustment range then you should review a note of caution. If you are wondering how to measure your track? Review our Track Measuring Guide.
However, it can be made to 16", but the manufacturer suggests that you would then semi-permanently install it for stability by drilling the panel into the slider track. The height extension is built to your custom dimension; it is not returnable, though the panel is (provided you have not ordered any other custom feature like a custom step-over).
Height Add-On Extension - The Custom Ideal Panel comes with two pieces, the panel and the separate custom made height extension. The extension piece slides into the top chanel of the pet door. If you already have the Ideal "Fast Fit" Panel but it is too short for your slider, you can purchase the Ideal "Fast Fit" Height Extension.
Step-Over Options - The Custom Step Over Options can be extremely important in properly fitting your pets. Medium Flap 2.5" step-over, Extra Large 2.5" and 4" stepover and Super Large 2.5" and 4" step-overs.
Replacement Flaps and Parts You can find the replacement flap at Ideal "Original" Replacement Flaps or you can get both the flap and the plastic frame a Ideal "Fast Fit" Replacement Flap Assembly.

How to Measure Your Sliding Glass Door for a Pet Door
FAQ
|
Does this custom panel come with two parts? Yes. You get the regular panel with the height adjustment range that is shorter than your custom height as well as the custom-built extension panel that allows the door to fit the height of your track. |
|
How is this different than purchasing a regular Fast Fit and then a height extension separately? It's not. We have just combined the two for your convenience. The prices are exactly the same as well. This page's product sizes are the standard patio door sizes with extension pieces. |
|
Since this is a custom product, can I return it? As long as the panel does not have a custom step-over, you can return the panel portion with the pet door, but you will not be able to return the custom height extension panel. |
|
I already have this panel. How do I measure for the height extension only? Calculate the height extension needed for a given track height by subtracting the maximum height of the adjustment range of the panel you've chosen from the measured height of your sliding glass door track and then add back 2-1/8". |
|
Is this panel aluminum or vinyl? This panel is aluminum. If you have a vinyl track, the Ideal brand has the VIP and VPP models available, and Endura Flap makes one of the best dog doors for sliding glass doors. However, those will not offer any custom heights outside of the listed adjustment ranges. |
|
What climate is this best suitable for? Ideal panels are best suited for temperate climates where insulation is not a vital factor when choosing a pet door. The weatherstripping that comes with the panel will ensure a weather-tight seal between the insert and your slider, but the pet door itself is suitable for temperate, three-season climates. |
|
Does the Ideal Fast Fit Patio Door have an adjustable step-over? No, the Fast Fit does not have an adjustable step-over. However, you can get a custom step-over. Keep in mind that the custom step-over cannot be adjusted once built, and it does make the item non-returnable. |
|
How thick is the Ideal Patio pet door panel? The FastFit frame is 7/8" thick. |
|
How do I lock this panel to my door? The door comes with a pin lock you can install. Alternatively, you can purchase a Charley Bar for added security. |
|
The box I received has a shorter track height written on the box. Is that correct? Yes, because the custom portion of this product is the extension panel that is built specifically for the height you need. So the box should contain the panel and the patio door extension. |
|
What if my track is exactly 75"? Then you could go with the 75" patio pet door height option, and if necessary, you can trim the flange at the top about 1" to be able to get it up and into your track. |
|
What materials are used to make this patio door extension? Most are made from aluminum and glass. In rare cases, for small extensions, they are all aluminum. |
|
What can I do if my 75" patio pet door is 1/2" too tall? You can trim up to 1" off the top of the Ideal Fast Fist. |
|
What materials are used to make this patio door extension? Most are made from aluminum and glass. In rare cases, for small extensions, they are all aluminum. |
|
Is this Fast Fit pet door easy to install and uninstall? This Ideal FastFit is a temporary pet door for sliding glass doors and takes a few minutes to install or take out. The more you do it, the easier it is. |
|
Can you purchase a custom Ideal Fast Fit Cat Door? Yes, it can be done. Please call our customer service team for a custom order. The other option is to order the small flap (soft vinyl) on the Custom Ideal "Fast Fit" Patio Pet Door. |
|
I have a Shorty patio pet door. Can I get a height extension to fit my new taller slider? Yes. Calculate the height extension needed for a given track height by subtracting the maximum height of the adjustment range of the panel you've chosen from the measured height of your sliding glass door track and then add back 2-1/8". |
|
Does it come in a bronze color? It used to come in dark bronze, but those are discontinued and no longer available. |

United StatesNice looking product but lower quality than the one I got 2o years ago.
without problem - but I asked for further assistance and never got an answer. I replaced the old door because I had disabled the ability to allow either two way traffic or entry only. The new door does not even have that capability. So I asked whether you had an insert which would work. No answer
United Arab EmiratesEasy to install/uninstall as needed.
Our terrace doors are very tall, hence the custom fit needed for the pet door. It was installed easily and our two cats use it happily to go outside, especially at night. It is equally easy to take down when we go away on holiday.
Great door
Customer service was terrific helping me to decide on the correct door. I have a 9 & 55lb dog and needed something to accommodate both. It is perfect
Perfect
We live in an apartment so couldn't use a door that attaches to the patio door frame. This door works great and easy to install. No tools necessary and we did not use the lock. Stays where we put it. It took one day for the dogs to get used to it being in the patio door and where they could see through it, because we had an in-the-wall door at our previous house.
No insulation
I received the door today, the installation was very easy and the condition was great, except that it allows drafts everywhere including where the flap opens. I tried everything to insulate it. It was a joke. it's not possible! We live in northern Wisconsin and it is freezing cold and windy now. This door will not work for us at all. I did not expect it to be so impractical for family home use, I really thought the door was designed better. Ed. Note: The ideal Fast Fit patio panel is designed for three-season climates. There are other patio panels designed for severe cold or hot climates.

United StatesNice looking product but lower quality than the one I got 2o years ago.
without problem - but I asked for further assistance and never got an answer. I replaced the old door because I had disabled the ability to allow either two way traffic or entry only. The new door does not even have that capability. So I asked whether you had an insert which would work. No answer
United Arab EmiratesEasy to install/uninstall as needed.
Our terrace doors are very tall, hence the custom fit needed for the pet door. It was installed easily and our two cats use it happily to go outside, especially at night. It is equally easy to take down when we go away on holiday.
Great door
Customer service was terrific helping me to decide on the correct door. I have a 9 & 55lb dog and needed something to accommodate both. It is perfect
Perfect
We live in an apartment so couldn't use a door that attaches to the patio door frame. This door works great and easy to install. No tools necessary and we did not use the lock. Stays where we put it. It took one day for the dogs to get used to it being in the patio door and where they could see through it, because we had an in-the-wall door at our previous house.
No insulation
I received the door today, the installation was very easy and the condition was great, except that it allows drafts everywhere including where the flap opens. I tried everything to insulate it. It was a joke. it's not possible! We live in northern Wisconsin and it is freezing cold and windy now. This door will not work for us at all. I did not expect it to be so impractical for family home use, I really thought the door was designed better. Ed. Note: The ideal Fast Fit patio panel is designed for three-season climates. There are other patio panels designed for severe cold or hot climates.
