How We Install Small Dog Doors in Glass Doors
Putting a pet door in glass is a tricky job that needs a professional touch. You can’t just cut a hole in toughened or laminated glass; it’ll break! We will take exact measurements of your current glass panel and then send you a brand-new piece of toughened safety glass with the hole already cut by the manufacturer.
After that, our team replaces your old glass with the new panel, making sure that the small dog door fits snugly into the cutout. This method keeps your sliding door or window’s structure strong while making sure it stays completely weatherproof. It looks very modern and sleek, like the door was made that way from the start. It’s the safest and most attractive way to let your dog into the backyard without making your home look bad.
Types of Small Dog Door Installation
We offer versatile solutions to suit every part of your home. Whether it’s through a laundry door, a sliding glass patio door, or even a bedroom window, we’ve got the gear to make it happen.
Small Dog Door Installation in Melbourne
For those in the Victorian capital, we offer a range of weather-sealed options perfect for keeping the famous Melbourne breeze outside. Our small dog door installation service covers all Melbourne suburbs, providing robust solutions for timber, glass, and screen doors. We ensure the installation is draught-proofed so your heater doesn’t have to work overtime during those brisk winters.
Small Dog Door Installation in Sydney
In Harbour City, our small dog door installation Sydney team works on finishes that are strong and last a long time in humid and salty air. We can expertly fit a variety of door types so that your small dog can easily get in and out to enjoy the sun. We cover everything from the Northern Beaches to the Sutherland Shire, and we’re fast and dependable.
Small Dog Door Options We Offer
We don’t accept flimsy flaps that shake in the wind. Aussie Pet Doors has a carefully chosen selection of high-quality products, such as clear circular doors for glass, strong magnetic-closure flaps for wood, and special adapters for screen doors. You can lock the security panels on our doors to keep your pet from getting in when you’re not home or at night. We also offer a range of colours, such as white, black, and primrose, so that the frame will match your door perfectly. All of the choices are made to be quiet, strong, and easy for your little dog to open.
Choosing the Right Small Dog Door for Your Home
Picking the right door involves more than just looking at the size of your dog. You need to consider the “step-over” height – how high your dog has to lift their legs to get through. If the door is too high or too low, it can lead to joint strain over time.
You should also think about what your door is made of. Installing a small dog door in a wooden door is not the same as putting one in a security screen. We suggest thinking about where your dog spends most of their time and where the safest way out is. If you’re not sure, our friendly staff is always happy to talk to you and suggest a model that meets your home’s security and insulation needs while still being easy for pets to access.
Which Dogs Need a Small Dog Door?
Small dog doors are specifically designed for breeds that generally weigh under 10–12kg. This includes popular Aussie favourites like French Bulldogs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Jack Russells, Chihuahuas, and Miniature Poodles. Even “low-rider” breeds like Dachshunds benefit greatly from a small door that is positioned close to the ground.
If your dog is still a puppy, it’s worth checking their expected adult size to ensure they won’t outgrow the flap! These doors provide the perfect opening for smaller pets while being small enough to prevent larger, unwanted animals (or intruders) from trying to squeeze through. It’s all about giving your little mate independence while keeping your home feeling safe and snug.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the best small dog door installation option for Melbourne homes?
For Melbourne’s changeable weather, we recommend a dual-flap or weather-sealed door installed into glass or timber. This keeps the warmth in during winter and the heat out during summer, ensuring your home remains energy-efficient while giving your pup total freedom.
- Do you offer small dog door installation in Sydney for glass doors?
Yes, absolutely! We specialise in glass installations across Sydney. We replace your existing glass with a custom-cut toughened safety glass panel that houses the pet door perfectly. It’s a clean, secure, and very popular look for modern Sydney homes.
- Can small dog doors be installed in sliding glass doors or security screens?
They certainly can. We can install pet doors into both your sliding glass door and your security screen so they align perfectly. This allows you to leave the glass open for fresh air while your dog moves through the screen.
- What size dogs require a small dog door installation?
Small dog doors are great for breeds that weigh 10 to 12 kg, like Maltese, Yorkies, or Pugs. We always check the height and width of your pet’s shoulders to make sure the flap fits them perfectly, given their size and how they move.
- How long does professional small dog door installation take?
For a standard timber or screen door, it usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. Glass installations are also quick – once the custom glass is ready, the actual on-site swap-over usually takes less than an hour, making it a very convenient process.
- Is small dog door installation safe for glass doors and windows?
Yes, it’s completely safe if you do it right. Our safety glass is A-grade toughened and meets Australian Standards. This keeps your door strong and safe, which gives you peace of mind and a safe way out for your pet.
