Cat doors for screen doors and security screens

Yes, we fit cat doors into screen doors, both fly screens and security screens including Crimsafe, with the mesh sealed into the cat door frame.

There is no need to replace the screen door. Your cat gets its own way in and out, and you stop being the doorman. For a cat door in the glass of a sliding door instead, see cat doors for sliding doors, windows and glass.

Fly screens and security screens

On a fly screen door, the mesh is carefully cut and secured inside the cat door frame. That is what stops it pulling away, fraying or sagging over time, even with a cat going through it many times a day.

We also fit cat doors into steel security screens, including Crimsafe and other security screen brands. The cut has to be exact on a security screen, so we check how the door is built from your photos and fit the cat door so the screen still locks as it did.

If there is a timber door behind the screen, we can fit a pet door in both so your cat can get all the way through. Every cat door we fit locks, so it can swing one way, both ways or be fully locked.

How a screen cat door install works

From your cat’s size and the screen type, we choose the door; on the day we cut the opening, fit the cat door, seal the mesh into its frame and test it. We set the height to suit your cat, which matters for older cats or cats that do not move as freely as they used to.

Cat doors we fit into screen doors

  • Ideal Pet Products, made in the USA
  • The Deluxe Aluminium Pet Door
  • Medium to extra large aluminium screen guard versions

The frame holds the cut edge of the mesh on every side, so it does not pull away or fray at the corners. Reinforced screen cat doors are made for a cat going in and out many times a day.

Helping your cat use it

Cats are more particular about new things in their space than dogs tend to be, which is why the install and the training matter as much as the door itself. Pet door training is free with every installation.

Keeping other animals out

If you do not want the neighbourhood’s cats, possums or strays coming in, ask about a microchip cat door. It opens only for your cat, using the microchip they already have or a collar tag.

What is included

  • Supply and installation of the cat door
  • Up to 3 years warranty
  • free pet door training, included with every installation

Screen cat door questions

Yes. There is no need to replace the door. We cut the screen, fit the cat door and secure the mesh inside its frame so it stays firm and tidy.

No. The mesh is sealed into the frame of the cat door, which stops it pulling away, fraying or sagging, even with daily use.

Yes. We fit cat doors into Crimsafe and other security screens. We check how the door is built first and cut it to suit, so the screen still locks as it did.

Yes. Screen cat doors lock, so you can keep your cat inside at night, in bad weather or when they need to stay in for health reasons.

Yes. We set the height to suit your cat, so a senior cat or a cat with limited mobility can get through comfortably.

Exceptional service, product and extremely quick turn around. Left an enquiry this morning. One hour later Alex called. 30 minutes later Allen installed my pups door in the crimsafe fly screen. Thanks so much. Might be back in winter for the glass door one too! One stoked owner. 😃
Response from the owner:Now that's the kind of turnaround we love! Enquiry in the morning, pup sorted by lunch. A crimsafe screen is a great spot for a pet door. So glad you're happy with it, and we'd be keen to sort the glass door one for you come winter. Thanks so much for the review! 😃

A great experience from Alex. Standard of customer service and work completed was excellent.Appreciated the extra bonus of helping me the screen change.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Gail! We’re delighted you had a great experience with Alex. He always takes pride in his work (and loves lending a hand where he can!). Really appreciate the lovely feedback and recommendation.
From my first enquiry to the final installation, Summer and Alex provided a very efficient and professional service. We had a tricky set up that required a dual pet door to be installed through two doors – one french door and one security door. The result is better than we could have hoped for, with Alex paying careful attention to all the little details during the installation and also making sure our Frenchie could use the doors. I highly recommend this business.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Chloe! We’re so glad we could help with your unique setup — Alex takes real pride in those tricky installs, and it’s great to hear you’re happy with the result. We're also thrilled your Frenchie is using the doors with confidence! Really appreciate your recommendation and kind words.

The whole experience with Sydney Paws Pet Doors was excellent. From Summers quick responses to the installation by Alex. Alex was going to come out and provide a quote for our sliding door but once he got here and looked around, he suggested an alternate spot for the door and installed it, saving us quite a bit of money. Alex was friendly, knowledgeable and not only took the time to teach and train our puppy, he also noticed one of our security doors was missing some rivets so he fixed that as well. What a great guy!!! Would highly recommend to anyone in need of a doggie door. Thank you Summer and Alex! Cheers Toni
Response from the owner:Hi Toni, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Summer and Alex. It’s fantastic that Alex could find a solution that worked best for your home while saving you money! We always strive to go the extra mile, and we’re glad to hear your puppy got some training along the way too. If you ever need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out. Enjoy your new pet door! 😊
