Pet Doors Adelaide: Why You Should Get One for Your Furry Friend

Pet doors allow your pets to come and go freely as they please, which can make a massive difference to their quality of life. They can even relieve themselves without you having to be home!

Unley Glass can fit your pet door into your existing window or doors in A-grade toughened safety glass. This method is much safer and more robust than other pet door systems that use insert panels.

They’re easy to install

If you’re tired of opening the door whenever your pet wants to go outside, a dog or cat door is a great solution. It allows your pets to go in and out of the house whenever they want, which can help with their mental and physical health. It’s also a great way to prevent them from getting bored or stressed when you aren’t home.

The best pet doors are made in Australia and tested to high standards. They’re durable enough to handle all weather and don’t compromise your existing glass’s integrity. They’re also easy to install, with most glaziers able to fit them in under an hour.

Our PatiolockTM system can be fitted to a single-opening sliding glass door (with or without a screen door adapter) and lock the door. It’s ideal if you rent your property and don’t want to leave holes in the glass or security doors when you move. It can also be used with hinge doors and is fully adjustable. If your frame is thicker than 32mm, add a 20mm aluminium channel ($3 from hard wares) to bring the temporary pet door closer to the frame so the locks align (handy skills/screwing required).

They’re easy to clean

Pet doors (also known as dog flaps) are small portals in a door, window or wall that allow pets to roam freely between the comfort of indoors and outdoors. Pets can spend more time playing in the yard and less time inside your house, making them happier and healthier. They also prevent indoor accidents and odours caused by urinating and defecating. Pet owners who work full-time and cannot take their pets for walks often find that a doggy door helps them keep their home clean while giving them access to the outdoors.

Dog and cat doors are a great way to give your pet the freedom it needs without supervising them. This is especially useful if you live in hot weather where heat stroke and dehydration are real risks. It’s also crucial for older pets or those with reduced mobility to go outside and do their business away from prying eyes.

Patio Link pet doors are made of a tough poly-carbonate and come in four sizes to suit any size dog or cat. They are easy to clean and have a selection of locking options that protect against inclement weather. They can be fitted into timber, security screens, and glass sliding doors. They can also be inserted into existing windows with a standard float safety glass panel, but these are best replaced with A-grade toughened safety glass to avoid any danger to your pets or children.

They’re safe

As pet owners, we want our pets to live happy and fulfilled lives. It’s challenging to do this if they’re stuck inside all day. This can lead to boredom, anxiety, and even negative behaviours like chewing furniture or tearing up pillows. A pet door allows your pet to play outside, reducing these issues.

It’s also a great way to reduce the stress of waiting for you to come home to let them out for bathroom breaks or to take them on their daily walk. Free access to the outdoors can also reduce pet odours and eliminate litter box problems by keeping your fur babies healthier.

Unfortunately, a pet door is also a convenient entry point for burglars to gain entry into the home. This is because they are often located where burglars can act in privacy. To prevent this, buying a bright pet door that is locked in a closed position and has a security feature that sensors can activate is a good idea.

Patio Link’s pet doors are installed into A-grade toughened safety glass in compliance with Australian standards. They can be locked in the closed position and are easy to install into sliding gates, security screens, or glass sliding windows. These doors are Australian designed and made and have passed rigorous testing to ensure their durability.

They’re affordable

A pet door (a dog or cat flap) is a portal for your pets to go in and out of the house without opening the door. They are handy for people who work full-time, have young children, or have older pets who might be unable to move around as quickly and would benefit from coming and going as they please.

Originally, pet doors were just simple holes in the wall or sliding doors, but today, they can be made into various shapes and sizes to suit different homes and needs. They can even be remotely controlled if you want to maintain their usage and limit who or when they are allowed in and out. For more information about Unley Glass, click here.
