Thank you again for very informative video! :D

We've just bought the medium plexidor. But our door panel is a much thinner pvc panel than the one in this video and thinner than the thickness of the plexidor. How do we make it good? If we have it flush on the inside, then it protrudes quite a bit on the outside and would look ugly. What do we do please?

The pet door is about 1 3/4" thick so not much you can do about that. You can put a frame on either side of the door to build out the thickness. Think window trim around the hole on one or both sides, miter cut like a picture frame around the hole. Then put the pet door on top of that frame.

How`s the windproofing on this door? My current doggie door leaks cold air in to the house like crazy. Is this door better against wind?

[@MsLauraBeth100]

MUCH better than any other pet door I've seen. the springs are strong enough to hold the door closed unless you're talking the kind of windstorms that knock down trees or if you have an especially windy spot. Yet they were easy enough for my cat to use. There are no light 'drafts' with these doors either, unless the weatherstripping is worn or missing. My door has seen about 30 yrs of use, so there have been times that the weatherstripping was worn down, came partly unglued or missing, which is where installing the Plexidoor in a storm door is nice - in our bitter Illinois winters, I can close the 2" solid oak interior door on those few days. However, after 30+ years of everyday use from multiple large dogs & rescues, ( and one cat) I'm replacing my original 1987 doors (which are scratched and have some crazing) The weatherstripping on the original doors simply glued onto the edge of the plexiglass and the weatherstripping had to be re-glued or replaced after about 8-10 years- especially where the flaps meet as the dogs rubbed against that edge the most going in and out. The NEW doors have a T-channel around the edge that the weatherstripping slides into and a few drops of glue keep it from sliding out. while you can buy the weatherstripping from Plexidoor direct (with the 2 different pile heights for the hinge side and where the flaps meet, and cut to size for your size door) you can also find the same replacement weatherstripping at the larger home improvement stores and cut it yourself - for both the old and new door styles.

I am looking for a dog door that can be installed in a glass storm door. Do you know if this will work or know of one that would?

[@MsLauraBeth100]

do you mean a storm door that is all glass from ankle height to 6 with say a 3" frame? cutting a hole in the center of the glass? That would not be recommended - aside from weakening the glass dangerously, you need some kind of support that you can SCREW the pet door frame to, and the Plexidoor frame is about 2" deep - (at least my very old one is) your glass is probably 1/8" thick to maybe 1/4 " if the storm is acrylic instead of glass. most building codes require that glass windows and doors that reach below knee height have to be tempered or unbreakable material. I have had my Plexidor installed in a storm door for the last 20 years or so but the bottom 1/2 of the storm door is solid, only the top is glass. ( top has a double hung single pane glass window, bottom of the door is 3/4" insulated pressboard) the plexidor frame sticks out about an inch, but I just ran some vinyl molding around the edge to cover the cut edge in the door from that side.

What size Plexidoor is that?
