Screen 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
  • Clear vinyl flap with patented edges, won’t warp in Sydney’s summer heat
  • Spring-loaded Lockout Slide for unsupervised hours
  • Four-way locking: in, out, both, or fully locked
  • Fly screen sealed flush inside the pet door frame, no gaps
  • Dual pet door access available where you have a screen plus timber or glass setup

FAQs About Screen Door Dog Doors

Yes! We specialise in installing dog doors in all types of screen doors, including standard aluminium frame screen doors and Crimesafe security screen doors. Our team has the expertise and materials to create a perfect fit regardless of your screen door type. We ensure the fly screen is properly sealed within the pet door frame, maintaining both functionality and security while giving your dog the freedom they need.

Not at all! Our professional installation maintains the security integrity of your Crimesafe or security screen door. We use high-quality aluminium pet doors specifically designed for security screen applications, and our installation process ensures the door remains secure while providing safe pet access. The pet door includes locking mechanisms that allow you to control access as needed.

We offer multiple sizes ranging from medium to extra-large to accommodate dogs of all sizes. Our aluminium screen dog doors feature strong frames that adapt to doors ranging from 1/2″ to 1-3/4″ in thickness. During our consultation, we’ll help you choose the perfect size based on your dog’s measurements and your specific screen door requirements.

Our screen door dog doors are built for durability and longevity. We use premium Ideal Pet Products from the USA, featuring strong aluminium frames and clear vinyl flaps with patented edges that won’t warp from use or extreme temperatures. These doors are specifically designed to withstand regular use while maintaining their functionality and appearance over time.

Absolutely! All our screen door dog doors come with convenient locking features. The spring-loaded Lockout slide™ system allows you to set the door to swing one way, two ways, or be fully locked when you want to keep your dog supervised or prevent access. This gives you complete control over your pet’s movement while maintaining the convenience of independent access when appropriate.

Our professional installation ensures a clean, seamless appearance that complements your existing screen door. The aluminium frame design blends naturally with most screen door styles, and we take care to maintain the aesthetic integrity of your door while adding functionality. Many customers are surprised at how well the dog door integrates with their existing screen door design.

Most screen door dog door installations are completed within 1-2 hours, depending on the specific door type and any customisation required. Our experienced team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily routine. We ensure proper sealing of the fly screen within the frame and test all locking mechanisms before completing the installation.

Yes! Dual pet door installation is possible and often recommended for homes with both screen and timber doors. This setup provides your dog with seamless access through both barriers, eliminating the frustration of being stuck between doors. We can coordinate the installation of both doors to ensure proper alignment and optimal functionality for your pet’s convenience.

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!

Alex installed our doggie door and it looks terrific (he even matched the paint colour on the outside) but most importantly our puppies took to it quite quickly after we did some training with them on how to use it. 100% recommend!!
This was the best service I’ve experienced for such a fantastic price. Would definitely recommend!

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! 😃

Response from the owner:Thanks Liz, lovely to hear. Alex takes real pride in keeping things clear and tidy from start to finish. Hope the pup is settling in with the new door!

I had a great experience with Sydney Paws Petdoor. After I left a message on their website I received a call. I found the call very helpful and accommodating. They were out the next day and did a tremendous job. Both were very professional and punctual and I will be referring their company to others without hesitation .
Response from the owner:Thank you Jane, this means a lot. We try to make the whole process easy from that first phone call through to install. Really appreciate you referring us on.

We had put getting a pet door in the “too hard / too expensive” basket for a long time, but finally decided to go for it. Sydney Paws Pet Door were fantastic from the start. Super fast responding to our enquiry and getting a quote through, really reasonable pricing, and they were able to come out to the Central Coast in good time. It was installed today and we’re really happy with it. The product is great and actually looks really good too. Really happy we finally got it done. Great service, great product and definitely recommend!
Response from the owner:Love this Tim! So glad you finally pulled the trigger after it sat in the too hard basket. Good pet doors shouldn't cost the earth, and we're stoked you're happy with how it looks. Enjoy the Central Coast sunshine with the new setup!

Alex was awesome- professional and really skilled at installing and communicated the pros and cons of using different doors. Really loves and cares about what he does and spent the time to help us retrain a 14 year old dog who is semi blind and deaf to use the door in our new home we just moved into. I would have had no idea what to do had he left without helping me train Max. By the afternoon Max was using the door all by himself. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an installer who truly cares
Response from the owner:Thank you Jenny, what a kind review. Helping Max learn the door at 14, even semi blind and deaf, is exactly the sort of thing Alex loves doing. So happy he was using it by the afternoon. Give Max a pat from us!

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!

8 months ago we had our pet door added to our house. Summer was amazing in getting our appointment arranged. Alex arrived on time and installed our new pet door quickly and efficiently. He gave us great training on how the door worked and patiently showed our fur babies how to use the door. Our boys use the door all the time, often at running speed. The door still looks great and is as strong as the day it was installed. Highly recommend Summer, Alex and the team for your pet door solutions.
Response from the owner:Thank you Pamela! Eight months on and still going strong at running speed says a lot about a good install. The team appreciate the shout out. Enjoy the freedom, boys!
Excellent job done Alex. Thank you for the lovely services
Response from the owner:Thank you, Shyamalee! We really appreciate your kind words — Alex will be so pleased to hear you’re happy with the service. It was a pleasure helping you! 🐾

I can’t recommend Sydney Paws Petdoor enough. I had no idea what I needed or wanted and Summer was very helpful sending me information and pics of options as well as set pricing that made the whole process super easy. Alex came same day and did a fabulous job. He’s a super nice guy and gave me all the pros and cons about the two places I had chosen as options for the door to be installed which made it easy to determine the best solution. He even did some training with us and our dog and talked us through the best way to get him to use it.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Tamara! We’re really happy we could make the process simple and help you choose the best option for your home and your dog. Alex always enjoys walking owners through the pros and cons and helping with the training too. We appreciate the lovely feedback and recommendation! 🐾

Summer and Alex are an absolute dream team to deal with – I can’t thank them enough for squeezing my booking in and making the installation during the consultation. Could not be happier and Billy 🐺 took to the door like a natural (which is awesome if you know how stubborn huskies are at the best of times) Thank you for making our day with the smooth and tidy fitting and installation… 5 stars ✨ Sydney Paws Petdoor
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Mark! We love hearing this — Summer and Alex will really appreciate the kind words. So glad we could fit you in and get everything sorted on the spot. And Billy 🐺 taking to it straight away is a huge win (especially for a husky 😄). Thanks again for the recommendation!
