Can you install dog door in glass door

Yes, We can install dog door in any type of glass door or panel.

Double-glazed glass doors, common in modern villas and homes, are designed for insulation and durability. While they may seem intimidating to modify, installing a dog door is possible! However, it’s not as simple as cutting a hole in the existing glass. The solution involves replacing one of the glass panels entirely (more on that below). This ensures your door remains energy-efficient, secure, and safe for your pup.

Why you cant cut hole in existing glass?

Most glass doors use tempered glass for safety, which shatters into harmless pebbles if broken. But this also means it cannot be cut or drilled after installation. Attempting to modify it will destroy the panel. Instead, a professional will:

  • Remove the existing tempered glass panel.

  • Replace it with a new custom glass panel that includes a pre-cut dog door.
    ( As most villa and community have different glasses so the new glass will be different than already installed.)

The Process: Installing a Replacement Glass Panel

Here’s how professionals do it (spoiler: no DIY here!):

  1. Order a Custom Panel: Call us or send us Whatsapp, we will send our technician for door’s dimensions and dog door specifications.

  2. Remove the Old Panel: A technician extracts the tempered glass safely.

  4. Add Finishing Touches: Installing Petsafe doggy door in double glazed glass panel as per the desired size of the dog. For size chart you identify which size of dog door you will need for your pup to go in and out.
