Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have screen doors with built-in pet door models already?

We don't carry a screen door with a dog door built-in, so you would have to get the screen door first and then add the pet door. Or you can use this screen pet door conversion kit with your existing screen.

How easy are pet doors in screens to install?

Pet screen doors have an easy installation with only a few simple tools. Pet doors that install with screen material on all four sides usually only require a few tools to install, while the ones that attach to the corner of the screen require minor drilling.

What are the benefits of paying more for the Hale Pet Door for Screens?
