CUSTOM-SIZE HALE REPLACEMENT FLAPS — IMPORTANT

CUSTOM-SIZE FLAP-ONLY REPLACEMENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

Each Hale replacement flap is handmade. Because the exact placement of the strikes can vary slightly during manufacturing, Hale cannot guarantee that the strikes on a newly manufactured custom-size flap will align correctly with the magnets in an existing pet door frame.

If you have a custom-size Hale Pet Door and need new flaps, please order the complete replacement flap kit rather than a flap-only replacement.

This helps ensure the new flaps, strikes, magnets, and weather stripping work correctly together.

REPLACEMENT FLAP INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Your new Hale replacement flap includes a metal top bar riveted to the flap for additional strength and stability.

Because each flap is individually made, the rivets on your new replacement flap may not be positioned in exactly the same locations as the rivets on your original flap.

This does not mean you received the wrong replacement flap.

Important Installation Warning

DO NOT screw through the metal rivets during installation.

Screwing through a rivet can weaken the replacement flap and may cause premature failure.

If a rivet is located where an original screw hole was positioned, simply drill a new screw hole through the flap and the inside portion of the pet door frame in a nearby location.

WHEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY DOG OR CAT DOOR FLAP?

Hale Pet Doors are designed for long-term use, but the flexible flap is a component that naturally experiences wear over time.

Your dog or cat may pass through the pet door dozens of times every day. Over the years, the flap may also be exposed to:

- Sun and UV exposure

- Hot and cold temperatures

- Rain and moisture

- Wind and drafts

- Dirt and outdoor debris

- Repeated daily use

- Normal wear and tear

Signs that it may be time for a replacement pet door flap include cracking, warping, damage, excessive wear, poor closure, or a flap that no longer seals against the pet door frame as it should.

Replacing the flap can help extend the useful life of your existing Hale Pet Door.

WHY CHOOSE GENUINE HALE PET DOOR REPLACEMENT FLAPS?

Using the correct Hale Pet Door replacement flap is important because the flap must work with the existing frame, magnets, strikes, and weather stripping.

A properly selected replacement flap helps maintain:

- Proper flap alignment

- Reliable magnetic closure

- Weather protection

- Reduced drafts

- Smooth entry and exit for your pet

- Continued use of your existing Hale Pet Door

Instead of replacing an entire dog door or cat door because of a worn flap, installing the appropriate replacement flap can help restore your existing door's everyday performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hale Pet Door Replacement Flaps

How do I know which Hale Pet Door replacement flap I need?

First determine your Hale Pet Door model and size. Then determine whether you need the interior flap, exterior flap, both flaps, or a complete replacement flap kit. If you aren't sure of the size, measure the outside of your existing pet door frame tip to tip and use the Hale sizing information to identify the corresponding size.

Are Hale interior and exterior replacement flaps the same?

No. Although the interior and exterior flaps may be the same size, they are not interchangeable. The strikes and weather stripping are positioned differently so they align properly with the magnets in the pet door frame.

Should I measure my old flap to determine the replacement size?

No. For the most accurate sizing, we recommend measuring your existing Hale Pet Door frame rather than the old flap. Older flaps can change shape or dimensions after years of use.

What comes with a Hale Pet Door Replacement Flap Kit?

The Hale Replacement Flap Kit includes replacement flap(s), weather stripping, and magnets. This is particularly important for custom-size pet doors where a flap-only replacement is not available.

Can I order a replacement flap for a custom-size Hale Pet Door?

A custom-size flap-only replacement is not available. Because Hale flaps are handmade, the strike locations on a newly manufactured custom flap may not align with the magnets in your existing frame. For a custom-size Hale Pet Door, order the complete replacement flap kit.

Why are the rivets on my new Hale replacement flap in different locations?

Each Hale replacement flap is individually made, so rivet placement may vary slightly from your original flap. Different rivet placement does not necessarily mean that you received the wrong flap.

Can I put an installation screw through a rivet?

No. Do not screw through the metal rivets. Doing so can weaken the flap and lead to premature failure. If a rivet overlaps an existing screw location, drill a new screw hole nearby through the flap and inside portion of the pet door frame.

Can I replace only one flap on my Hale Pet Door?

Yes, for applicable standard-size Hale Pet Doors you may select the appropriate individual interior or exterior replacement flap. Make sure you order the correct flap because the interior and exterior versions have different strike and weather-stripping placement.

How often should Hale Pet Door flaps be replaced?

There is no single replacement schedule because flap wear depends on factors such as how frequently the pet door is used, climate, weather exposure, and the number and size of pets using the door. Inspect the flap periodically and replace it when it becomes damaged, excessively worn, warped, or no longer closes properly.

Will replacing the flap help reduce drafts?

A properly sized and installed replacement flap, with the appropriate magnets and weather stripping where applicable, can help restore the pet door's proper closure and weather protection.

Can I replace the flap instead of buying a new Hale Pet Door?

In many cases, yes. If your existing pet door and frame remain in good condition and the flap is the component that has become worn or damaged, installing the correct Hale Pet Door replacement flap or replacement flap kit can extend the useful life of the existing pet door.

Where can I find my Hale Pet Door size?

If you don't know your size, measure the outside of the pet door frame tip to tip horizontally and vertically and use the Hale Pet Door conversion chart and sizing information to identify the corresponding passage-opening and pet-door size.

A quality pet door is an investment designed to provide years of convenient access for your dog or cat. While the pet door frame itself may remain in excellent condition for many years, the flexible flap experiences constant movement and exposure to the elements.

With the correct Hale Pet Door replacement flap, you can replace the worn component while continuing to use your existing pet door.

Whether you're searching for a Hale dog door replacement flap, Hale cat door replacement flap, interior pet door flap, exterior pet door flap, or complete Hale replacement flap kit, always verify your model, size, and flap position before ordering.
