Top Dog Door Installation related questions

You can install a dog door in any type of door. However, different types of equipment and methods will be used for different kinds of door materials.

There are many different types of dog doors: microchip-detecting doors, energy-efficient doors, and sliding dog doors. Each type of door comes in different sizes. The best door will depend on your climate, your preferences, and your dog’s size.

A dog door is normally secured with screws, but this will depend on the type of dog door and main door materials.

Dog doors are designed to be safe for your pet. If you’d like extra security, you can install a dog door that has a lock option, so you can choose when your companion is allowed outside time.

A wooden dog door installation will normally take between 15-30 minutes, but screen doors and glass doors may take longer.

What does a dog door installation include?

A professional doggie door installer will take care of every step, from choosing the right door to measuring, cutting, and fitting. Of course, the exact process and inclusions will depend on the type of door you want to modify. Here’s what you can expect from some of the most common door types:

Wooden door installation

Your installer will first measure and trace around a template to create an outline of your new doggie door on your existing door. Next, they’ll use a drill to create a hole in each corner of the outline, then use a jigsaw to cut out the space they outlined. In some cases, your handyman may need to remove the door from its hinges entirely and lay it out on sawhorses to make the cut. To complete the installation, they’ll sandwich the doggie door onto the hole in the door, and secure it with screws. If they’ve removed the door, they’ll re-install it so it’s all ready to use.

Glass door installation

If you need a doggie door glass installation, your contractor will first examine the glass to determine whether it can be cut. If the glass can be cut, they’ll trace a template where you want the doggy door before using a glass cutter to cut the shape out. Then they’ll sandwich the doggy door onto the hole to secure it. Alternatively, if the glass is toughened or tempered, they may decide to remove the panel of glass entirely, replace it with acrylic, and continue with the installation process. This method is best suited for doors with glass panels.

Screen door installation

There’s usually no need to remove a screen door from its hinges. Your dog door installer will first remove the spline chord on the screen door, and move the insect screen out of the way to reveal the security grille. Next, they’ll measure and mark where they need to cut out the grille, before removing any rivets in the area. Using bolt cutters, they’ll cut the grille and then use a jigsaw or an angle grinder cut the desired shape. A glazing vinyl is used to cover the raw edges of the grille, before sandwiching the doggie door on top and securing with screws. Finally, the insect screen is replaced and secured with the spline chord that was removed earlier, cutting away the screen that used to sit in place of the dog door.

Install stainless steel mesh + dog doors into sliding screen doors

$350

Yangebup WA 6164, Australia

17th Jan 2026

I’m looking for someone experienced with installing heavy-duty stainless steel mesh into existing screen doors. The job is to upgrade two sliding screen door panels by removing the current flyscreen mesh, fitting 0.9 mm stainless steel mesh, and installing two Petway medium dog doors (one in each door). I will supply both the mesh and the dog doors. Because the mesh is thick security-style mesh, it will need to be mechanically fixed into the frames (for example using clamp strips or riveted fixing), not standard rubber spline. The installer will need to supply any required fixings or mounting hardware such as rivets, screws, clamp strips or backing plates needed to secure the mesh properly. I will supply mesh and doggy doors. The doors will then need to be refitted so they slide properly and the finish is neat and solid. Please only apply if you have experience working with security mesh or similar heavy-duty screen installations. Thanks - Elliott
