Screen Door Dog Door Installation Sydney

Most Sydney homes have at least one screen door, and fitting a dog door into it is one of the simplest ways to give your dog the run of the backyard without leaving the house open to flies, mosquitoes, or the neighbour’s cat. The trick is the install. A poorly cut screen sags, leaks insects, and looks rough within months.

Sydney Paws handles dog screen door installations across every common screen type in the city. Standard aluminium fly screens, Crimsafe and steel security screens, sliding screen doors, hinged screen doors, and dual setups where a screen sits in front of a timber dog door or dog door in glass, we fit them all, and we leave the rest of the door looking like it was designed that way from the start.

Every install includes a pet door training session, so your dog doesn’t just have a new door, they actually know how to use it before we leave. That’s the difference between a screen dog door that gets used every day and one that becomes an expensive flap your dog avoids.

If you’re after a fly screen dog door for a back patio or a heavy-duty security screen install for a front entry, we’ll bring the right product, fit it cleanly, and back it with up to a 3-year warranty.

Security Screen Door Dog Door Installation

Security screens are a different job to standard fly screens. The mesh is reinforced, the frame is heavier, and the cut needs to be exact, both for the look and for the structural integrity of the door. Get it wrong and you compromise the security rating of the whole door. We install dog doors into Crimsafe, SecureView, and other branded steel security screens across Sydney. Every cut is made with the right tooling so the surrounding mesh stays taut and the door retains its security function. The pet door itself locks in four modes (in only, out only, both ways, or fully locked) so you control access at the screen as well as the door behind it.

Pet door brands we install into screen doors:

Ideal Pet Products Deluxe Aluminium Pet Door (USA-made)
Petway Access Doors
PetSafe Aluminium Pet Doors
Medium through X-Large screen guard variants

Standard features across our screen dog door installs:

Strong aluminium frame fitting doors from 1/2″ to 1-3/4″ thick
