Pet Door Installation

Here are five tips to keep in mind when installing your new Thermo Flap Pet Door by American Pet Doors:

1. Choose the Right Location:  The location of your pet door is crucial for both your pet’s safety and your home’s security. We offer Pet doors For Walls, Doors, French Doors and Glass. Avoid installing your new pet door in places that are easily accessible to intruders or dangerous for your pet such as near a busy street or air conditioning unit.

2.Measure Carefully:  Make sure to measure your pet correctly to ensure the pet door is the right size.  Take into account the width and height of your pet and add a few inches to make sure they can comfortably go through the door.

3.Consider Insulation:  Our pet doors are offered with a single flap or double flap option.  Our double flap option offers the best insulation to avoid cold or hot air from escaping or entering your home which will help maintain your home’s temperature and help you save on energy bills.

4.Use Proper Tools and Materials:  Installing your new Thermal Flap Pet Door requires proper tools such as a jigsaw, a drill, a measuring tape, caulk and screws.  

5.Train Your Pet:  Once the door is installed, make sure to train your pet to use it correctly.  Start by holding the door flap open and encouraging your pet to go through it.  Reward them with praise and treats when they use the door, and be patient as they get used to it.
