How Do I Choose the Right Size Pet Door?

Start by measuring the widest part of your pet's body (usually the shoulders or hips) and the height from the top of their shoulders to the bottom of their chest or belly. Add 25�50mm to both measurements for comfortable clearance. If you have a puppy or kitten, be sure to factor in their potential growth when selecting a pet door size. Refer to the Doors Plus Pet Door sizing chart to match your pet's measurements to the right size � Small, Medium, or Large.

Can Pet Doors Be Installed on Any Type of Surface?

Most pet doors are designed to be installed in common materials like wood, metal, MDF, and even brick or glass (with professional assistance). All Doors Plus Pet Doors are adjustable to fit into 38�42mm thick doors. Always double-check the product specifications to ensure compatibility with your door. Our range of Pet doors are suitable to be installed into our composite door ranges. If you have a difficult installation or feel unsure about the process, it's best to get professional help from one of our helpful consultants in any Doors Plus showroom.

How Do I Maintain and Clean My Pet Door?

Regular maintenance will keep your pet door working properly. Frequently wipe down the flap with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris � you can use a mild pet-safe cleaner for tougher grime. Keep an eye on the weatherstripping around the frame for any signs of wear and replace it as needed to maintain a good seal. Lubricate the hinges and any locking mechanisms at least once a year.

Room Separators for Zone Living

Doors Plus was founded with a mission to improve the safety and aesthetics of Australian homes by providing high quality doors and related services.

Bi-Fold doors are also a very practical option for separating living areas in your home where the space is too large for a single or double door to be effective. A variety of configurations are available to suit most applications. The Flex Zone range includes a specially designed bi-fold option which is exclusive to Doors Plus. We designed this to create more flexible and convenient living areas in your home. The concept is to install the Doors Plus, Zone Living folding System, also available in sliding & stacking, which will divide the large open spaces of your open plan home to provide more usable smaller areas which are more efficiently heated or cooled. This will help you save on energy bills and bring the room to a comfortable temperature, quickly.

Advantages of Installing a Pet Door

Giving your furry companion its own entry and exit point offers a whole range of benefits for both pet and owner. Here are three of them!

Facilitating Regular Exercise for Your Pet

Easy access to the outdoors means your dog can enjoy those backyard runs whenever the urge hits or your cat can sneak out for a quick prowl. Keeping your pet active and engaged is essential for its health and happiness!

Fewer Indoor Accidents

Dogs need to go when they need to go! A pet door means fewer desperate indoor accidents and less cleaning for you. Cats with outdoor access often choose to do their business outside as well, keeping your home and their litter box fresher.

Less Stress for Everyone

No more stressed-out barking, scratching at the door or chewing on furniture out of boredom! Your pet knows they can go in and out as they please, reducing anxiety. Owners get the peace of mind that their furry friend isn’t holding it in all day or feeling trapped. It’s a win-win!
