A Better Pet Door

Built Into the Glass, Not Bolted On

Most pet door solutions are clunky — temporary insert panels that wedge into your sliding door track, or holes hacked into a wall. An in-glass pet door is different. We fabricate a brand-new piece of tempered glass with the pet door professionally integrated, then install it right into your existing door, window, or sliding door frame.

The result is clean, permanent, secure, and weather-sealed — it looks like it was always meant to be there. Your pet gets freedom, you keep your home's appearance, and there's no awkward panel to remove every time you want to use the door normally.

Where It Works

Pet Doors in Any Glass

We install in-glass pet doors in three main applications.

🚪

Glass Doors

Full-lite glass entry doors and French doors. We fabricate new tempered glass with the pet door built in and swap it into your existing door frame.

🪟

Windows

Low windows and basement-level windows can become a discreet pet entrance with a custom glass panel and integrated pet door.

↔️

Sliding Glass Doors

The most popular option. A permanent built-in pet door in a new glass panel — far more secure and attractive than temporary insert panels.

💡 Why It Requires New Glass

A common question: "Can't you just cut a hole in my existing glass?" Unfortunately, no — and here's why. The glass in your doors and windows is tempered safety glass, which is heat-treated for strength. Once tempered, it cannot be cut, drilled, or modified — any attempt will instantly shatter the entire panel.

So instead, we fabricate a brand-new piece of tempered glass with the pet door opening built in before tempering. Then we simply swap your old glass for the new panel. Your frame, hardware, and trim all stay in place.

Common Questions

In-Glass Pet Door FAQs

Can you put a pet door in my existing glass door or window?

Yes — but it requires new glass. Tempered glass can't be cut or drilled after it's made (it would shatter), so we fabricate a brand-new piece of tempered glass with the pet door opening built in, then swap it into your existing door, window, or sliding door frame. The frame stays; only the glass is replaced.

What pet door brand do you use?

We primarily install Security Boss pet doors — a trusted, durable brand with excellent insulation and security features. We can also fabricate glass to fit a pet door you supply if you have a specific brand or model in mind.

Can you install a pet door in a sliding glass door?

Yes — it's our most popular pet door application. We fabricate a new tempered glass panel with an integrated pet door and install it into your sliding door frame. This is a permanent, built-in solution — much more secure and better-looking than the temporary insert panels you wedge into the track.

How much does an in-glass pet door cost?

In-glass pet doors are priced custom based on glass size, pet door model, and whether the glass is single-pane or insulated. Contact us with your door or window details and your pet's size for a custom quote.

Will the new glass match my existing door?

Yes. We match the glass thickness, type (clear, low-E, tinted), and tempering of your existing glass so the new panel blends seamlessly with the rest of your home.

What size pets can use an in-glass pet door?

Security Boss offers flap sizes for everything from small cats to large dogs. During your quote, we'll help you pick the right size based on your pet's height and weight.

Is it energy efficient and secure?

Yes. Security Boss pet doors feature insulated, weather-sealed flaps and locking panel options. Because the pet door is built into the glass and the panel is professionally installed, it's far more secure and energy-efficient than temporary track inserts.

How long does it take?

After measurement, the custom glass with integrated pet door typically takes 1-2 weeks to fabricate. Installation usually takes 1-2 hours.

Do you serve my city?
