We replace the glass with a new panel that has the pet door built in. To order it, we need the height and width of the glass measured to the outside edge of the trim around it, where the trim meets the door.
Hook the tape on the outside edge of the trim on one side, where the trim meets the door. Measure across to the outside edge of the trim on the other side.
Same idea, top to bottom: outside edge of the trim at the top to the outside edge at the bottom.
Text both numbers to 205-564-5788 with a photo of the tape at each end, so we can check where it starts and stops.
Measuring to the glass, or to the inside edge of the trim. That number comes out too small, and the panel we order won't fit. If you're not sure which edge you're on, send the photos anyway and we'll tell you.
A wall door goes through the wall with a tunnel that spans its full thickness. We need three numbers to pick the right unit and plan the job, plus photos of the spot from inside and outside.
Open an outside door and measure across the edge of the wall, from the inside wall surface to the outside surface (siding, brick or stone).
From the inside floor level to the outside ground, deck or patio, right where the door will go. A big drop may call for a step or ramp.
How much open wall you have at that spot, to the nearest door, window or corner.
If there's an outlet, switch, vent or plumbing near the spot, get it in your photos. Wiring can often be moved, but we need to know about it up front so it's in the quote.
Start with photos. We'll tell you if we need a measurement.
No measuring needed. Send photos of the door from inside and outside, and tell us what it's made of if you know (wood, steel or fiberglass).
Send photos of the whole door from inside and outside. We'll tell you exactly what to measure for your door.
Send photos from inside and outside, showing the whole window and the ground or floor below it.
Shoulder height and width decide the door size. The sizing guide shows how to measure your dog, and has a calculator if your puppy is still growing.
Text your numbers and photos to 205-564-5788. If you're missing a measurement, send what you have and we'll work out the rest by phone at 205-982-5196.
