The Challenge
Solving Glass Access Challenges
Many homeowners mistakenly believe they can simply cut a hole in their existing sliding glass door to install a doggy door or cat flap.
However, most modern patio doors in the South Brisbane area utilise toughened safety glass. You cannot cut toughened glass once it has been processed; attempting to do so will cause the panel to shatter into thousands of granular pieces instantly.
This presents a significant safety hazard and a security risk for DIY enthusiasts.
Our Solution
Complete Panel Replacement
When you engage us, we assess your existing glazing and handle the entire process technically and soundly.
We manufacture a completely new glass panel with the pet door aperture pre-cut.
This panel is toughened after cutting, ensuring it retains its Grade A safety rating. We then replace your existing panel with this new unit.
We eliminate risks by ensuring a hermetic seal and using high-grade silicone and glazing tapes for a perfect match.
Our Custom Manufacturing and Installation Process
Our process is designed to be seamless and minimally intrusive to your daily life.
1
Consultation
We visit your property to measure glass thickness, tint, and frame type. We also help select the correct flap size for your pet.
2
Fabrication
A new glass panel is cut, water-jet cut for the aperture, and toughened. This takes 5-7 working days.
3
Professional Installation
Our glaziers carefully remove the old glass (which you keep) and install the new panel with integrated pet door.
4
Final Inspection
We clean the glass, test the locking mechanism, and demonstrate features to ensure you are 100% satisfied.
Fully Licensed, Insured, and AS1288 Compliant
We do not cut corners when it comes to safety. The glazing industry is strictly regulated for a reason—glass can be dangerous if not installed correctly.
We operate strictly in accordance with AS1288 (Australian Standard for the selection and installation of glass in buildings). This means we never install non-safety glass in critical areas like doors or shower screens.
We are fully licensed with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC), and we carry comprehensive public liability insurance to protect your property and our staff.

Caring for Your Pet Door and Glass
To ensure longevity, a little regular maintenance goes a long way. Because our products are exposed to the elements and frequent use by pets, we recommend a monthly check.
Cleaning
Wipe down the flap and aluminium frame with warm, soapy water to remove pet oils and dirt. Avoid abrasive scourers on polycarbonate flaps to prevent scratching.
Lubrication
A quick spray of silicone lubricant on the pet door hinges every six months will keep the swinging action silent and smooth. Keep door tracks free of fur and grit.
Inspections
Periodically check the weather seals. If they become brittle due to sun exposure, they can be easily replaced to maintain your home's thermal efficiency.
