Pet Door Installation FAQs
Can a pet door be installed in any glass panel?
No. Glass type, size and safety requirements all matter. In many cases the glass panel needs to be
replaced with one cut and toughened for a pet door. A glazing specialist can explain what is
required for your particular window or door panel.
Will a pet door affect my home security?
Pet doors introduce another opening point, so security should be considered. Some units include
locks or microchip access, and their placement can help limit risk. Your installer can discuss
options around size, location and lock types to balance convenience and security.
What size pet door do I need?
The door should suit your pet’s shoulder height and width, with a little room to move without them
needing to squeeze. Many brands give simple size guides. When posting your job, mention breed and
approximate weight so tradies can recommend suitable sizes.
Can one pet door work for both cats and dogs?
Often yes, especially when pets are similar sizes. Where there is a big size difference, you may
need to compromise between easy access for larger pets and opening size for security and weather
control. Your installer can help you think through the trade offs.
