Pet Door Solutions for Small Patio Doors and Limited Space

Homes with small patio doors or narrow sliding glass doors often lack the space required for traditional pet door inserts. Flap-style inserts permanently reduce the usable doorway, making everyday human access difficult.

Problems with traditional pet door inserts

• Reduce the opening width of the door

• Make it harder for people to pass through

• Create permanent obstructions

• Often unsuitable for apartments or condos

How SmartSlydr preserves full door access

SmartSlydr does not insert a fixed frame or flap into the doorway. Instead, it automates the existing sliding door, preserving the full opening for normal human use.

When not in use by pets, the door functions like a standard sliding door.

Ideal for:

• Small patio doors

• Apartments and condos

• Homes with limited doorway clearance

• Households that need full human access

Common questions

Does SmartSlydr reduce the door opening?
No. Unlike flap inserts, SmartSlydr preserves the full sliding door opening.

Is it renter-friendly?
Yes. SmartSlydr installs without permanent modification and can be removed later.
