FAQ

Why Choose a Through Wall Doggie Door?

You’ll enhance the quality of your best friend’s life by installing a dog door for walls. Our wall mounted pet door allow our pets to go in and out as they please, which means they don’t have to wait for you if they need to go to the bathroom. However, that’s only one of the advantages.

Additional benefits include:

• An escape in case of fire or other hazards
• Pets can come in when the weather turns bad
• The dog will be able to protect the property, inside and out

Installing a pet door for walls also means that your dog will get more exercise, and they won’t be bored, so they’ll be less likely to engage in problematic behavior such as chewing. In short, dog doors for walls give your dog more freedom.

What Does It Mean to “Frame out” a Wall?

Framing out a wall for a wall mount pet door means creating a tunnel that provides stable footing for the pet. This tunnel, or frame, also helps prevent water penetration to the interior wall. You must carefully caulk the tunnel to ensure that it’s water-tight. And you also need to seal and waterproof any wood that you use in the construction.

A self-framing through wall dog door is the easiest to install. Ours comes with its own tunnel, an aluminum frame, that you can cut to accommodate the depth of the wall.

Is There a Difference Between a Wall Mount Dog Door and a Door Mount?

Yes. Door mount doggie doors may be what most people think of as pet doors; however, door mounts don’t include the wall tunnel and framing that you get with a wall mount dog door. Similarly, a door mount is easier to install, but they don’t offer the flexibility of dog doors for walls. You can only use door mounts on exterior doors, and they tend to be a bit more expensive than a wall mount pet door.

What Size Should I Get for an Extra-Large Wall Doggie Door?

Ensure that you order the right size by measuring for your wall mount pet door. Determine the width of the flap by finding out how much room your dog needs to be able to pass through comfortably. Next, measure the distance from the floor to the top of the tallest pet’s shoulder to get the correct height.

Do You Offer Professional Installation for Wall Mounted Dog Doors?

No. We recommend a licensed contractor for this type of installation. Don’t risk cutting into power lines or plumbing in your walls that could cause injury and property damage.

How Do I Pick a Location to Install a Through Wall Doggie Door?

First, you must determine what’s inside the wall. Check for electric and plumbing hazards. Next, make sure the tunnel will fit between any studs. Now, look at both the inside and outside. Is there enough room to ensure a safe exit?

Are Your Pet Doors Secure?

Yes. The wall system includes a locking security panel, an aluminum wall tunnel, an Endura flap double wall mount dog door, and installation instructions.
