ericepv Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 There are several Pet Doors in the Bonus Catalogs. Look for Accessories No.05 Pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethVanDeusen Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 It seems the pet doors in the catalog are designed to go in a wall. Is there a way to insert a pet door into a door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Install the Pet Door on the wall next to the door, open the DBX and adjust the size then copy and paste to your door (I found this works best in an elevation view). Also, be sure to adjust the size of the casing and uncheck 'Use Sill/Threshold' (Casing tab). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbuttery Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Beth: for real life use install the pet door as close to the bottom of the door as you can my golden ret. has a broken hip and he struggles with "tripping" on the bottom edge I had to buy the extra large door - normally for St. Bernards etc so he wouldn't have to stoop plus he is obese from lack of exercise I've been using petdoors for decades - I recommend the double flap doors for cold weather situations or high winds sometimes I built an enclave entrance and had two doors at right angles to prevent cold winds from entering house but the double flap doors work fairly well I spent less than this vendor so shop around - I believe I got mine from Home Depot this is just an example of the double flap door https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZ6NOHZ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01LZ6NOHZ&pd_rd_w=XET6g&pf_rd_p=f0355a48-7e73-489a-9590-564e12837b93&pd_rd_wg=gOssu&pf_rd_r=RH0F85V7C76T3YWSQX30&pd_rd_r=398e2b06-6e14-43c0-956c-a1a81f8bee7b&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFYRzhMOTg2MldMTjEmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2ODM5MTgyS1M3WEZLMzZUTURXJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5NTAyMzYxTVo5Sk9WMEtUU0Q1JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7DLN3QHXL4G9679C Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I've followed these steps and still get this issue. Any other suggestions? Can you explode a door or alter doors in any way other than dimension and material? #1917-Jamieson-Dog door issue-121420sh.pdf #1917-Jamieson-dog door issues-121420sh - Copy2.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if there is a way the dog door will actually cut a whole in the man door? Thanks in advanced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I don't think there is any way to place a pet door into a normal or symbol door and have it work so that it cuts a hole. You can build a new door panel symbol with a pet door built in. Here is a tech article about building your own door symbols: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01808/creating-a-custom-door.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiAngelo Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Short of designing your own door, for every door style you may want to use a pet door in, I placed two "Euro H Plank" cabinet doors back-to-back - resized them both to be 10"x16"x1.5" and 3" up off the ground to maintain the integrity of the door frame and the door sweep. I centered them on the back of the door and then moved them 2" forward into the wall. You can then material paint each side a contrasting color Or view them easily in technical or hand drawn lines. You can cad block the two doors and save this to any library to use on any door style. This doesn't create a hole, but then we look at all our other doors closed typically, so showing a louvered flap like above, or using a shaker panel cabinet door style should suffice.

Joe_Carrick Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago FWIW, I always try to put pet doors in a wall rather than a door. If the house is later sold and the purchaser doesn't have a pet then the door doesn't have to be replaced. It's much less expensive to just close up the opening in the wall.
