How do I measure my pet for a pet door?

How do I choose the right pet door for my pet?

There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the right pet door for your dog or cat: size, style and functionality. First step is to measure your pet to determine what size pet door would best suit, if you have a young pet, be sure to accommodate for their future growth. Once you have the size, view our range to find what style you like best, we have a range of pet doors with hard plastic flaps or flexible flaps and aesthetic appearances to match your home. Another thing to consider is the functionality of your pet door, our comprehensive range of pet doors have multiple features for ease of use and security.

I have questions about my Patio Pet Door

I want to use my Patio Pet Door in a window, what's the minimum height it fits?

Patio Pet Doors are adjustable within the below measurements:

3.9" Extensions are available as spare parts. A maximum of x 3 extensions can be used together. 

My door/wall is thicker than the included tunnel, can I get a wider one?

To extend a Deluxe Aluminum Pet Door: The tunnel portions included are a 2mm thick ABS plastic sheet, unfortunately these are currently only available in the one size. A sturdy sheet material of 1-2mm thickness can be used as an alternative, it just needs to be of this thickness to still join/slot into the frame of the pet door.

Unfortunately we do not currently offer tunnel extensions for our other pet doors. You may like to reach out to a tradesperson to see if they're able to assist with a solution. 

What is the difference between the Super Tough Pet Door and the Deluxe Aluminum?

The Super Tough Pet Door features a durable ABS frame and hard flap with locking pins, available in three sizes, small, medium and large. The Deluxe Aluminum Pet Door has a flexible TPU flap with a sleek aluminum frame, it is available in four sizes, small, medium, large and extra large.

Can I install my pet door into glass?

All our pet doors are suitable for installation into glass; however, you must employ a professional glazier to assist with your install. Do not attempt to cut your glass door/window yourself.

3. Using a flat head screwdriver, pry open the metal strip/bar that clasps the flap in place
4. Position new flap in frame, push down the strip/bar to clasp the flap in place and secure with screws
5. Screw the pet door frame back in place

Super Tough Pet Door

1. Unscrew/remove the frame with the flap attached from the area it has been installed into.
2. Sit one flap hinge in place and then wedge a screwdriver between the long edge of the flap and the inner edge of the frame to expand the frame enough for the other hinge to slot back in. 

Please note when leveraging the flap in and out of the hinge hole it does require some force but as the plastic flap is slightly flexible, it should be able to take the pressure.

Why does my Retractable Gate open with just a light touch?
