ABSTRACT:
The swing-away pet door apparatus, is adapted for mounting to the frame of a new or existing conventional sliding glass door assembly. A hinge member is secured to an elastomeric sealing flange, which is secured to the sliding glass door frame at a location adjacent to the sliding glass door. The hinge mounted to the elastomeric sealing flange positions the swing-away frame member between open and closed positions. In the open position, the swing-away frame member is positioned adjacent to the door frame and clear of the door frame tracks, providing substantially full access through the sliding glass door frame, when the sliding glass door is opened. The sliding glass door may also be completely closed and locked when the hinge member is in the open position. When the swing-away frame member is moved into a closed position parallel to the sliding glass door tracks, the sliding glass door or the sliding screen door may be slidably positioned in the door frame tracks to provide a partial access opening, or closed to abut the swing-away frame member. The sliding glass door may also be locked to the swing-away frame member. When the swing-away frame member is closed, the pet access door provides ingress and egress to a pet through the pet access door.
