Patio dog door installation

$200

Balmain NSW, Australia

7th Oct 2025

Install a pet door insert to existing sliding door. This Fri afternoon is preferred but can be Sat or Sun if required. For information, here is a link to the door purchased: https://lalunapetcare.com.au/products/patio-pet-door-insert-1 Notes from manufacturer: "Attach the pet door to one of your sliding doors using the security plate (usually the door with a latch). If there is a latch in the way of your door, just remove it so the pet door sits up to the door correctly. So the pet door slides smoothly with the door it is attached to, they can use the sliding door wheel. If the pet door is attached to the right side, the wheel has to go into the left bottom cavity of the pet door or vice versa. Then use the security pack to transfer your locks to the pet door." Image attached from manufacturer on how it looks once installed.
