Not every installer is set up for pet doors in glass, and the wrong choice can mean a botched panel or a flap your pet will not use. Ask these questions before you book anyone.
We are pet door specialists in Dubai, and these are the questions we are happy to answer. Any good installer should be too.
Questions that reveal the real pros
- Do you replace the glass panel or cut on site? Toughened glass cannot be cut after tempering. The right answer is a new panel, fabricated with the opening cut in before tempering.
- How do you seal the flap? Look for brush seals, magnetic closures and proper frame-to-door sealing. Dust and heat should stay outside.
- What size do you recommend for my pet? They should ask about your pet’s measurements, not just sell you a standard size.
- Do you handle sliding doors and double glazing? These are the tricky jobs. Experience here separates specialists from generalists.
- What happens if something goes wrong? Ask about aftercare. A proper installer stands behind the fitting and comes back if it needs attention.
- Can you show me similar jobs? Photos of real installations in homes like yours tell you more than any promise.
Red flags
- Anyone offering to cut toughened glass on site. Walk away. It cannot be done safely.
- No measuring visit. Pet doors in glass live or die on measurements. Skipping the visit means guessing.
- Vague answers about sealing. In Dubai, sealing is half the job.
That is the full set. For the general picture, start with our pet door FAQs for Dubai owners.
