Our verdict

A sensible answer for a renter who wants the pet to come and go through the slider without cutting into anything. The flap is sized for smaller dogs, and taller pets need extensions that are not in the box.

Overview

Hakuna Pets builds this insert as a full-height mesh panel that drops into the track of an existing sliding door. The aluminum frame carries fiberglass screen for airflow and a UV resistant flap that the pet pushes through, with a magnetic catch pulling it shut behind them. Lift the panel out and the door locks as usual, so nothing about the doorway changes.

Renters get a pet door without drilling, cutting or asking a landlord for permission, because the whole assembly simply lifts out of the track when the lease ends or the pet is away. The frame is narrow, so it takes up only a slice of the opening, and the mesh still lets air move through the room. The limitation is the flap itself: it suits smaller dogs, and a taller pet needs extension pieces that are sold separately, so measure the animal before committing.

Who it's for

A sliding door that opens onto a yard and a small pet that needs to reach it during the day. The panel rides in the existing track, so the door works normally for people. Owners of big dogs should look elsewhere, since the flap opening is built around smaller breeds and taller pets need extra pieces.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Slides into the existing door track
  • No tools needed for setup or removal
  • Removes so the door locks normally
  • Fiberglass mesh holds insects out
Cons
  • Flap suits smaller dogs only
  • Extensions for taller pets sold separately
  • Maximum compatible thickness not listed
  • No pet size or weight rating listed

Performance notes

The flap swings on the frame and a magnetic catch centers it again after the pet passes, so the opening stays shut between trips. Because the whole panel rides in the door channel, fit depends on the track height and the thickness of the door it slides past. The fiberglass mesh handles weather and airflow while the powder coated frame holds its shape through repeated removal.

Frequently asked questions

How do I clean the Hakuna Pets patio pet door and keep it working?

Wipe the aluminum frame and fiberglass mesh with a damp cloth, and clear debris from the flap edge so the magnetic catch can pull it shut. The panel lifts straight out of the track, which makes rinsing it outdoors easy.

Does the Hakuna Pets 5005 pet door need tools or a permanent installation?

No tools are required. The panel slides into the existing sliding door channel and comes back out the same way, so no screws, cuts or permanent changes are made to the door or frame.

Can I still lock my sliding door with the panel in place?

The pet door is meant to be removed when you want to secure the home. Take the panel out of the track and lock the sliding door normally, then slide the panel back in when the pet needs access.

What is the Hakuna Pets patio pet door not able to do?

It is not a wall or glass door pet door and it does not fit every opening. It works only in a sliding door track within the stated height range, and a pet taller than the flap needs extension pieces that are sold separately.

What is the maximum door thickness the Hakuna Pets insert fits?

The listed maximum compatible thickness is 1.37 inches. Check the thickness of the sliding door the panel passes before ordering.
