Does anyone have any unique ways to install a dog door? Did you put in a glass door/window or wooden door? What is the safest option? Any good companies in Melbourne that you would recommend? Re: Dog door ideas 3Jul 13, 2016 10:51 pm aloenyx If you have a glass sliding door, you can buy an insert that goes to one side and is lockable and stuff. I think called a pet patio door? Thank you I will check that out. I do have some sliding doors to back yard. Re: Dog door ideas 5Jul 14, 2016 10:14 pm I recently bought this dog door that goes in the sliding door. It fits across the glass slider as well as the screen. I haven't found any other doog door that does this. These are also made in Australia and can be custom made. It is quite expensive, but my dog is like one of my kids and we like her to be able to come and go as she pleases. http://www.patiolink.com.au/ Sandra Re: Dog door ideas 6Jul 15, 2016 5:48 am sandra77 I recently bought this dog door that goes in the sliding door.

I'm prepared to invest in a quality product because our dog is a part of our family and like a child too. Did they deliver it and you installed it? Re: Dog door ideas 7Jul 15, 2016 5:49 am That looks nice and neat. Do you have a company name that sells that one? Re: Dog door ideas 8Jul 17, 2016 9:18 am Yes, they deliver and you install. As an estimate ours was an XL size for our weimaraner and it was $600. We also had to get an extension part for the width as we have a 3 stacker door. We will be installing this on Friday, if you like I can put up a pic? All the best. Sandra Re: Dog door ideas 9Jul 17, 2016 6:11 pm sandra77 Yes, they deliver and you install.

Re: Dog door ideas 11Jul 17, 2016 9:17 pm We have a full glass sliding door in our laundry, we had a guy come out, measure it, and ordered new glass pane with a circular hole in it for a doggy door. Was about $350 I think all up.

It came with the aluminium security door when we bought the place. Unfortunately it does not have any clips to shut it so the lil buggers can't get out when the door is left open for the breeze in summer. Tried so many things from screws and bolts (safety hazard for the cats) to magnets (dont work on aluminium) to now shoe laces put through either side with some cardboard. Please help. I would say both styles you have pictured are steel. The lower chord of the first pic would be a massive lump if made using timber considering the size of the rafters.
