A security door with pet door should withstand the test of time and maintain its appearance even with constant exposure to sunlight and moisture. Whether the pet door will be installed at the front or back door, it should be made from a strong material while providing convenient entry or exit to your lovely pet.
For instance, here at Sydney Flyscreens we add dog/cat doors that are made from strong aluminium frames. These pet doors are enabled with magnetic closures for convenient access. This will make it easy for your lovely pet to go in and out of your home without scratching anything.
How to choose the door with the right fit
Aside from quality and convenience, the right fit is also crucial when it comes to security doors with dog/cat doors. A difference of just a few centimetres would make the door hard to open or close (or a gap of a few centimetres will allow bugs and other pests to come through).
That’s why many homeowners and apartment owners ask professionals to do the measurements and installations. Yes, there are still DIY pet doors you can install using only a few basic tools. However, the fit might be far from perfect which can cause more inconveniences down the road.
Basically, the sizes available for pet doors are:
- 190mm wide x 240mm high (for cats and smaller dogs)
- 260mm wide x 400mm high (for adult and slightly larger dogs)
For better design matching, the pet doors are available in 6 colours. This allows the pet door to blend in with the back or frontage of your home.
Security door with pet door for convenience and safety
Your security door should contribute to your feeling of safety while providing easy entry and exit to your adorable pet. The frames should be made from a strong and lightweight material (e.g. aluminium) and the pet doors have magnetic closures for a secure and yet convenient access.
