Sliding screen doors equipped with pet doors offer an excellent blend of convenience and functionality for homeowners and their pets. With numerous options available on the market, integrating a pet door into your sliding screen door has never been easier. Whether incorporated into a new door purchase or fitted into your existing screen door, these pet-friendly solutions ensure seamless access to indoor and outdoor spaces.
Pre-Installed Pet Doors: A Hassle-Free Option
Opting for a sliding screen door with a pre-installed pet door can save significant time and effort. These doors come in various configurations, with the frame typically made of durable aluminum, which offers a broad range of colors and long-lasting quality. Vinyl is another popular material due to its robustness and aesthetic appeal. Pet door frames generally match the door’s material and may include additional features like screens, glass, or high-density inserts. Many designs also incorporate magnets to securely close the pet door when not in use. It’s important to choose a model with a high-quality hinge mechanism to withstand frequent use and select a screen material that enhances the door’s longevity.
Custom Fitted Pet Access Doors: Tailored for Your Home
For those who prefer a custom solution, installing a pet door into an existing screen door is also available. This approach allows homeowners to tailor the pet door to their specific needs and save money in the process. When ordering a custom pet door, consider:
- The thickness of your sliding screen door, as non-standard sizes may require a special order.
- The pet door should ideally be just above your pet’s shoulders.
- Decide on the installation corner from an inside perspective to best suit your space and pet’s habits.
Installation involves removing the spline from one corner of the screen door, making room for the new pet door, aligning it properly, drilling pilot holes, and securing it with screws. After installation, the screen is replaced and secured over the new pet door frame, with excess material trimmed away.
