Dog Doors

Decide where the opening belongs before comparing sizes or colors. Wall, hinged-door, screen, in-glass and kennel models solve different construction problems and should not be treated as interchangeable frames. Dog Doors should be shortlisted in a fixed order: installation surface, pet fit, available frame space, exposure, flap package and finish. That order prevents a color or feature preference from pushing the project toward the wrong construction family. Door models clamp through compatible hinged panels; wall models add a tunnel through the full assembly; screen models support mesh; in-glass models belong in professionally fabricated glass; kennel and pass-through frames address their own use cases. Once the family is correct, the configurator can narrow the exact size, color and flap combination without mixing incompatible parts.

Measure the tallest pet at the shoulders and the widest pet through the body. In a multi-dog home, the clear opening and step-over must work for both the largest dog and the least mobile dog. Check the clear flap opening for the pet, the rough opening for the cut and the tip-to-tip frame for the available mounting area.

Match the product family to the real surface, then verify the rough opening and exterior frame dimensions. Glass work requires a qualified glass professional; uncertain walls or doors should be reviewed before cutting. The exact product instructions and selected SKU should be available before any permanent opening is made.

For exterior access, compare single versus double flaps, fitted covers, replaceable weather stripping and exposure to wind-driven rain. Long-term value depends on serviceable components as much as the first-day fit. Record the model and size, keep moving surfaces clean and replace only verified compatible service parts.

Yes. The sizing quiz is a useful starting point because it asks for the pet, opening type, size and weather conditions before pointing you toward a model family.

Use the custom-size workflow after checking the standard size chart. Enter whether the measurement is based on flap opening, rough opening or outer frame so the order and installer are working from the same dimensions.

Measure from the floor to the top of your pet’s shoulders and measure the widest point of the body. The flap should generally sit about 1–2 inches above the shoulders, with a comfortable step-over height. Use the actual pet measurements rather than breed averages.

Yes. Frame color, flap count, size and installation type are selected for your opening. Review the measurements and selected configuration carefully before submitting an order.

Yes. Replacement flaps, flap kits, magnets, weather stripping, locks and covers are available. Match the replacement part to the original pet-door size and model.
