Fast, Professional Pet Door Installation Done Properly
If you are tired of getting up every time your dog or cat wants to go outside, a professionally installed pet door makes life easier for everyone in the house.
We install pet doors into security screens and flyscreen doors across the Sunshine Coast, including Maroochydore, Alexandra Headland, Mooloolaba, Mudjimba, Marcoola, Coolum, Peregian and Noosa. Most installations are completed quickly and cleanly, with minimal disruption to your home.
Whether you already have a security door or you are upgrading at the same time, we can supply and install a pet door that suits your door type and your pet’s size.
Installed Into Security Screens the Right Way
Installing a pet door into a security screen requires careful consideration. The mesh type, frame strength, and lock positioning must all be assessed to ensure the screen’s structural integrity and security are maintained.
We regularly install pet doors into:
- SecureView stainless steel security screens
- SecureView Saltwater Series
- Xceed perforated aluminium screens
- BasiX stainless steel mesh screens
- Diamond Grille security doors
When installed correctly, the pet door integrates neatly into the screen without compromising overall function.
If you are ordering a new security door, we can incorporate the pet door during manufacturing for the cleanest possible finish.
Suitable for New and Existing Doors
Already have a security screen? In many cases, we can retrofit a pet door into your existing door, provided it is compatible and in good condition.
Upgrading your security at the same time? We can measure for a new security screen and install the pet door as part of the same job, ensuring everything lines up properly from the start.
For homes across the northern Sunshine Coast, especially in Coolum, Peregian and Noosa where pets are part of everyday coastal living, this is one of the most common add-ons we install.
Clean Finish and Practical Advice
Choosing the right size pet door matters. Too small and it becomes frustrating for your pet. Too large and it may affect security or appearance.
We will recommend a size that suits your dog or cat while maintaining the function of the door. The goal is a clean, secure and practical installation that looks like it belongs there.
Why Use a Professional Installer?
It can be tempting to attempt a DIY cut-in kit, but incorrectly installed pet doors can weaken the screen frame, affect lock alignment or leave rough edges.
By having the pet door installed professionally, you ensure:
The screen remains secure.
The door operates smoothly.
The frame stays structurally sound.
The finish looks clean and deliberate.
For premium systems like SecureView and Saltwater Series, proper installation is especially important to protect the integrity of the mesh and frame.
Frequently Asked Questions Pet Door Installation
Can you install a pet door into an existing security screen door?
In many cases, yes. If your existing security door is structurally sound and compatible with a pet door insert, we can retrofit a unit neatly into the mesh and frame. Before proceeding, we check the condition of the door, the frame thickness and the lock positioning to ensure the installation will not compromise strength or operation. If the screen is older or lower grade, we may recommend upgrading the door at the same time for a cleaner and more secure result.
Can pet doors be installed into SecureView or Saltwater Series screens?
Yes, pet doors can be installed into SecureView stainless steel screens and SecureView Saltwater Series doors when done correctly. These premium systems require careful cutting and reinforcement to maintain the integrity of the mesh and frame. Professional installation is strongly recommended to avoid weakening the door or affecting the locking system.
Will installing a pet door weaken my security screen?
When installed properly, a pet door should not significantly compromise the overall function of the door. We position the insert carefully, maintain frame strength and ensure the locking system operates correctly. The key is correct measurement, proper reinforcement and clean finishing. DIY installations are where problems usually occur.
How long does a pet door installation take?
Most pet door installations are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of security screen and the complexity of the job. If the pet door is being installed into a new security screen during manufacturing, it is incorporated into the build and fitted during installation of the door itself.
What size pet door do I need?
Choosing the correct size depends on the breed and size of your pet. We recommend measuring your pet’s height and width at shoulder level and allowing adequate clearance for comfortable use. Installing a door that is too small can cause frustration, while one that is too large may affect security or appearance. We can advise on suitable sizing during your quote.
Can you install pet doors into sliding security doors?
Yes, in many cases pet doors can be installed into sliding security doors, depending on the screen system and available panel space. The design of the sliding frame needs to allow for proper positioning without interfering with rollers or locking mechanisms.
Do pet doors affect fall prevention compliance?
If the screen is being used for fall prevention compliance in a window application, installing a pet door is generally not suitable. For door applications, compliance considerations are different. We assess each installation individually to ensure safety and compliance are maintained.
Do you supply the pet door, or can I provide my own?
We can supply and install suitable pet door units that match the door type and security system. If you have already purchased a pet door, we can assess whether it is compatible with your security screen before installation.

Pricing depends on the type of security door, whether it is a new installation or retrofit, and the size of the pet door required. The fastest way to get pricing is to request a quote or include the pet door option when generating your instant estimate for a new security screen.
