Pet Door Installation Florence, KY

Every pet door job starts with sizing the opening to your pet, not just the door. We measure shoulder height and width for dogs and cats alike, then confirm the exterior door material before cutting anything. Steel and fiberglass doors need a reinforced frame kit around the opening. Skip that step, and the door skin can buckle within a season. Solid wood doors cut cleaner but still need weatherstripping to stop drafts.

Northern Kentucky winters bring real freeze-thaw swings, and an improperly sealed pet door is one of the most common sources of a cold draft along an exterior wall. Mr. Handyman of Northern Kentucky and West Cincinnati installs Florence pet doors with a magnetic or brush-style flap seal rated for exterior use, plus a storm-flap or locking insert on models that support it, so the opening doesn't become a security gap or an energy drain. For homes with door repair and installation needs beyond the pet door itself, like a sagging exterior door or a frame that's pulled away from the jamb, we handle that in the same appointment.

We also install pet doors through interior doors, walls, and even sliding glass door panels for homes where the exterior door isn't a good candidate. Wall installations require locating studs and wiring before cutting, and we always check for that before the saw comes out. Sliding glass door inserts use a separate track panel, which is often the cleanest option for renters or anyone who doesn't want a permanent cut in an exterior door.

Most jobs run one to two hours, depending on the door and whether we're cutting new or replacing an old unit. Every dog door gets tested for a full range of motion before we leave, so your pet isn't fighting the flap on day one. We haul away the old flap or hardware, too.
