Sincity_blondie Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Ok im sure im opening myself up for tons of ridicule on this. But I need some help. Ive been looking at home depot, lowes and petsmart for a doggie door for the new house. Seems I have an unusually tall sliding glass door. I cant be the only one with dogs that has this problem. Id rather not have to order a dog door off the internet, anyone know of someplace in town that sells a doggie door for a 94 ' door??? preferrably something I dont need tools to install? Thanks for any info! Now that im going back to work, hate to leave the dog in the kennel all day when I have a doggie door for her now. Thanks!! ps I plan on puttin the kennel in front of the dog door. I also have a cat and my dog tends to terrorize him. So she cant just stay home in house alone. Quote
bp-guy Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I did a quick search and found a used one in San Francisco. Not sure if it is still available or not. sale-632767856@craigslist.org Quote
EY3BA11 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 94" is about normal.. Most sliding glass doggie doors have an adjustable spring loaded thing on the top that adjust for diffrent door hights.. I know mine does.. I can measure mine but i bet any ol regular sliding glass door doggy door will fit. Quote
Sincity_blondie Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 I got one from my sons grandfather and its about 2 ft short. So I started looking around online. Home depot and petsmart doors are for doors up to 81'. I found one for tall doors online, for about $250. More than im really looking to spend. Quote
Kitcat Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 We don't have doggie doors because we have cats that are indoor only. How are you going to keep the cat from going outdoors - or do you mind the cat going outdoors? Quote
ltr450 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 If you lived closer .I have one in my garadge you can have,it has adjusments on it .it's 94inch-15inchs width Quote

How are you going to keep the cat from going outdoors - or do you mind the cat going outdoors? Actually I worried about that. But the doggie door would be in use while I was at work. Her kennel would be open at the doggie door, so the cat wouldnt have access. Cat is definately an indoor cat. He has no front claws, so no goin outside for him. When I moved he freaked out. Hid in my sons closet for 2 days. He had lived in the other place his whole life. Quote

My dogs are a little crazy and sometimes their kennels move, if they move around inside them. If there is any room for the cat to squeeze through an opening, he might get outside. Quote
wingnut Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Be careful with those dog doors that connect to a slider. They make for an easy break in point. Also, would it be bad if a cat snuck out and got away? Quote

Richard Cheese Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) "people don't train cats....cats train people" hey Stac...what about adding about 2 foot of wood to the top of your existing door with screws or flanges? :thinking: Edited April 10, 2008 by richard cheese Quote
