Dog doors for walls and windows

Yes, we fit dog doors into walls and windows when no door is in the right place for your dog.

Sometimes the best way out for your dog is not a door at all. The back door might open onto a step or a busy hallway, the yard might sit behind a laundry or bedroom, or you might not want to cut the door you have. A pet door through a wall or a window puts your dog’s own way out where it makes sense.

Dog doors through a wall

Every wall is different, so send us photos of yours and we confirm everything on the install day: what it is built from and where the opening can go. If a wall is not suitable, we will tell you and suggest the next best place.

Microchip dog doors can go into walls too, so the door opens only for your dog; see microchip and smart dog doors.

Dog doors in windows

A low window, or a window onto a deck or yard, can take a pet door in the glass. Windows follow the same rules as glass doors: laminated glass can usually be cut on site for a small or medium dog, and toughened glass needs a new panel made with the opening in it. Can my glass door be cut for a dog door? explains how to tell which glass you have.

Which size for a wall or window

We size the opening to your dog’s shoulder height and chest width, and check the wall or window can take it. For a big dog in a window, the glass rules for large dogs apply; see large and extra large dog doors. Our dog door sizes guide explains how to measure your dog.

How it works

Send us a photo of the wall or window and where your dog needs to go. From your photos and your dog’s size we tell you whether a wall, a window or a door is the better spot, and confirm it on the install day before any work starts. Before we leave, we show your dog how to use the new door. Pet door training is free with every installation.

What comes with it

A locking panel for nights and days away, and up to a 3 year warranty on the installation.

Alex and Allan were exceptional. Great customer service and the door was made and installed in less than a week. The door was made with colored glass that was perfectly matched to our existing Panels. Their workmanship and quality, as well as understanding their customer needs was the best that I had experienced. Alex was also able to provide us with training and lots of helpful advice in not only training our puppy to use the door, but also how we are to train him in all aspects of his life. By the end of the day (the day the door was installed) our puppy was already confident in using the door to exit our house. I cannot think Alex and Alan enough. They have made welcoming our new Family member so much easier.
Response from the owner:Thank you Stephanie, what a wonderful review! Colour-matched glass to your existing panels is the kind of detail we take real pride in, so it means a lot that the workmanship stood out. Love that your pup was confidently heading out the door by the end of the day. Helping you settle a new family member in is exactly why we do this. Thank you again!

This is the second time we have used Alexs services. He installed a pet door in one of my sliding glass doors a few months ago. Got him back to do the same for another door. He know what he is doing, knows the product and provides helpful hints. I have recommended him to family members.
Response from the owner:Thanks Shihab, great to have you back! Second door done and glad the first one has been serving you well. We really appreciate you recommending us to your family too. Thank you!

Really happy with our experience with Sydney Paws! Their pricing was competitive, they were transparent and clearly knew their stuff. The replacement glass is great quality. Allen was friendly, professional and did a fantastic job with the installation. Alex was also great to deal with and very responsive. They were really accommodating with the installation date, making sure we could have it done before we left for our holiday, which we really appreciated. No more having to get up and open the door for the dogs, they absolutely love it! Would definitely recommend Sydney Paws!
Response from the owner:Thank you for such a thorough review! Being upfront on pricing and knowing our product inside out is how we like to work, so it's great to hear that came through. We're always happy to work around your timing, and getting it sorted before your holiday was a no-brainer. No more playing doorman for the dogs now! We really appreciate the recommendation.

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! 😃

Totally a 5 star service in every way! We had a medium pet door installed in our folding glass door and it looks awesome and works great. Alex and his team are such great guys to deal with and were happy to accommodate our personal needs as well providing excellent service, advice and tips for how to get our silly cat using the door properly. Really could not have asked for a better result. Thanks Alex and Allen!!!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Rich! A medium door in a folding glass door is a nice result, glad it looks and works great. And getting the silly cat sorted is a win in our book. Cheers from Alex and Allen!
