pesh Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Hi All Wanting to put an XL doggy door in the security door and asking for recommendations on what people have had success with? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I don't consider myself handy but installed a Medium Petway brand pet door in my sliding security door. I bought it brand new at an op shop for a quarter of the retail price. It was beige and I spray painted it black (to match my door). I can confirm 5 different dogs (including a lab size one) have bashed and crashed their way through it over the last 4 years and there is still no damage to it other than some nose art. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairead Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 There used to be a bread delivery box in my sunroom off the kitchen. It was closed off on the outside after a kid broke into the house by using it. But if you have a neutral sign "dog on premises" with a neutral drawing of a dog that may be enough. I have a sign on the front door "never mind the dog, beware of the owner" which is pretty accurate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a very large hole cut in my backdoor for my Greyhounds to go in and out. No feral kids yet and the neighbourhood is crawling with them.

Boronia Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 How about a dog door that activates with an electronic collar? Link to heaps here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairead Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I have the back door locked at a narrow opening width using a sliding bolt on the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pesh Posted October 2 Author Share Posted October 2 Thanks everyone. I have a very friendly German Shepherd if you're invited in, but if you jump a fence God help you. But the one I would be worried about is the Cavalier. So anyone trying to come through a screen door does at their own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairead Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I thought the GSD method was to let people in but not let them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an XL doggy door in a security door, PetSafe, Endura Flap, and Hale are top recommendations. PetSafe is affordable and reliable, while Endura Flap offers great insulation and durability. Hale is known for quality and sturdiness, making it ideal for security doors. Look for models that are specifically designed for heavy-duty use and are easy to install. Ensure you match the size to your dog's measurements for a perfect fit. I had to write a complex research paper, and I wasn’t sure how to tackle it. That’s when I found Academized’s https://academized.com/research-paper-writing-service Research Paper Writing Service, and it was a lifesaver. The writer was professional and provided a well-researched paper that met all the guidelines. It was delivered on time, and I was really impressed with the quality. I’ll definitely use this service again for my future research papers. Thank you. Edited Friday at 09:40 AM by JessicaLawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
