When Dog Doors Meet Sliding Glass Doors

How can you make your dog’s stay at home much more comfortable? You can do so by creating a decent door for it to freely move in and out of the house. All you have to do is install a sliding glass dog door panel. With these great panels, you don’t have to transform the frames of your existing sliding glass door. These panels are fitted on the same track that your sliding doors sit on. Therefore, your door will slide against the panel rather than going all the way to the wall. This will leave an opening for your dog to use. These panels have an alternative locking system for security purposes. Here are the some of the things to consider while purchasing a sliding glass door panel:

Security

Lack of a quality locking system could lead to insecurities of all kinds. Young children could get stuck and get hurt while trying to fit into the panels, wild animals could crawl into the house and cause harm to the residents, or the dogs could even exit and stray out of safety. To make sure none of these happens, invest in a high quality lock system for these panels, train your dog on specific schedules so you can know what time to open the panels and when to close them, make sure your backyard is safe enough for the dog to leave the house, and make a point to know where your dog goes to when it leaves the house.

Price ranges

Prices ranges are determined by several factors such as:

• Quality/type/make: Is the panel single or double pane glass? Is it all weather resistant or not?
• Size: Standard sizes will cost less than those that are custom-made.
• The technology used in making them: Some dog doors may be electronic, that is, they can read the microchips placed on the door or the key cards to unlock the door. These high-tech panels will cost more than the manual ones. Look for the most convenient and affordable option that suits you.

External Decor

You want to maintain the beautiful color scheme of your house when installing dog doors. This shouldn’t be a problem as the dog doors come in different sizes and colors, enabling you to pick one that will fit your decor.

Energy Expenditure

Look for a panel that can keep the extreme weathers out while maintaining climate control inside the house. They should also be energy efficient hence saving you money.

Owning a dog can be very beneficial. To avoid any inconveniences when the dog wants to get in and out of the house at odd times, purchasing a dog door will be the best way to go.
