Most pet doors use a vinyl flaps that are prone to warping and tearing, other doggie doors use hinges at the very top of a piece of plexiglass so there ‘s no flex on the particular flap.

Pet Access Solutions expert Andrew Phillips, owner of Pet Access Solutions.com in Vancouver British Columbia , says a pet door is a “Useful addition” to an existing Patio door, wall or house door if the homeowner’s pet is allowed to venture outside unsupervised.

Pet Access Solutions expert Andrew Phillips, owner of Pet Access Solutions.com in Vancouver British Columbia , says a pet door is a “Useful addition” to an existing Patio door, wall or house door if the homeowner’s pet is allowed to venture outside unsupervised.

“The pet door allows you to open up your primary door and give your pet the freedom to come and go as they please,” Andrew says.

Pet doors come in a variety of styles fitting every need and budget. Doors that flap open or close when pets enter or exit provide an inexpensive option, while higher technology doors that open and close via a sensor placed on the pet’s collar provide higher security at a higher cost.

“Most pet doors have a lock on the interior if you are concerned about unwanted critters coming in,”Andrew says.”

Robert Wollet of Pet Doors USA, in Bradenton Florida., agrees pet doors provide convenience for both the homeowner and the pet.

“If you’re in a fenced area and you know you’re not gonna have raccoons, you don’t live by a creek and it’s [not] open to every critter in the book, a pet door is really nice for pets to go outside, do their thing and be able to come back and not have to bug you every time they want to go out,” he says.

The pet door Andrew most often recommends to homeowners is custom-made through a third party vendor. After the homeowner selects a new sliding door, the third-party manufactures a glass panel with a pet door that Andrew can then install into the existing door.

“It’s literally a door that’s cut into the glass so when your door is on the locked position, it’s air tight and the pet learns to put nose through the door and just goes,” the Vancouver door installation expert explains.

Andrew advises his customers against installing a pet door in the home’s primary door, “because you would probably have to replace the door if you decided to sell the home.”

Where the Glass mount patio door pet doors leave you with the original glass unit which can be reinstalled inexpensively when you decide to move or no longer require the pet door.

Window Mounted Cat Door

For years now you have been wanting a pet door to allow your companion the freedom to come and go at their leisure but have been restricted by the HOA or Strata not allowing any holes to be cut into walls and doors of any of the exterior structure.

I found this dilemma and frustration as well for many years until I found the solution which I had been right in front of me all this time.

But now was the challenge of finding someone to install the pet door into my glass window which in its self was a very frustrating as I was told over and over again by the experts in the field of glass that it could not be done. Myself being the kind of person who says never believe someone who says Cant I found a pet door company Pet Access Solutions.com who has been doing this for years and does a beautiful job at it, so good that it in fact looks better than factory and it even left me with the original piece of glass that I can reinstall when I move. There is no cutting, mess at the installation or repairs to be done when the pet door is removed just the original glass reinstalled.

These guys were my saviors and my cat felix now has the freedom he has been waiting for and I have a draft free pet door that I have not had any cold breezes come through, after having drafty cat flaps many years ago I thought their claim of a draft free cat door was a bit of a stretch but the Plexidor pet doors they use are really the most energy efficient that I have seen.

Great Product, great customer service, if your local glass companies say it cant be done contact these guys.

After much reasearch we narrowed down the list of those expensive mud flap pet doors and what I mean by expensive is that those inexpensive pet flaps that seemed like a good deal on the shelf but then once installed they start to cost you money by letting your heat out in the winter  and the heat into your cool airconditioned house in the summer which now makes those inexpensive pet doors become an expensive pet door year after year.

We found the Plexdor pet door with its double pane  rigid saloon style pet doors that include a full commercial weather seal just the cats assets. They are also finished in 3 standard and 6 designer colors which we found great to siute almost any challanging design decor.

We have seen and replaced many a door with limited 3 month waranty but the plexidor comes standard with a full 5 year warranty which cant be beat.
