Screen Cat Doors

Yes, a cat door can be professionally installed into an existing flyscreen door without needing to replace the door itself. The screen is carefully cut and secured within the cat door frame so it remains firm, tidy, and structurally supported after installation.

No. When installed correctly, the flyscreen is not left loose, frayed, or weakened. The mesh is sealed into the frame of the cat door, which prevents the screen from pulling away or sagging over time, even with frequent daily use.

Yes. Screen cat doors are designed specifically for regular use by cats and are reinforced to handle repeated entry and exit. The surrounding frame supports the screen so it holds its shape and continues to function properly long term.

Yes. Screen cat doors include locking features that allow you to fully secure the door when required. This is useful at night, during bad weather, or if your cat needs to stay indoors for health or safety reasons.

Scratching usually happens when a cat wants access but doesn’t understand where to go. A properly positioned screen cat door gives your cat a clear exit point, which helps reduce scratching and frustration once they learn to use it.

Yes. Screen cat doors can be installed at a lower height to make access easier for senior cats or cats with limited mobility. Positioning is adjusted to suit your cat’s comfort and movement, not a fixed standard height.

In some cases, yes. Certain aluminium security screen doors can be modified to accept a cat door, depending on their construction. We assess the door first to ensure the installation will not compromise strength or security.

Most screen cat door installations take around 1-2 hour to complete. This includes measuring, cutting the screen, fitting the door, sealing the mesh, and testing the door to ensure smooth and reliable operation.

Often, yes. Screen doors are generally easier and less costly to replace than glass or timber doors, making screen cat doors a practical option for many renters. We can discuss suitable placement to minimise impact if the door needs to be restored later.
