Alexandra wanted to install a dog door in her back door for her pet.  Interior Door Concepts was able to fulfill her requirements by replacing the old French door with a new 1/2 lite back door with a flush lower panel.

We used our normal turn-key process to install the new back door/pet door combination.  During our free in-home consultation, we took careful measurements of the existing door.  Once we got the customer’s approval, we special-ordered the door from one of our exterior door suppliers, Therma-Tru, and once it arrived at our shop we prepared it for installation in Alexandra’s home.  Preparation included trimming the door to fit the existing door jamb, pre-painting the door and installing the dog-door.

Alexandra found her dog door online at Moore Pet Supply. Moore Pet Supply shipped directly to Interior Door Concepts, and we were able to install the pet door before we took the door to the customer’s home.  Installing the dog door took a little more than just cutting the hole for the door.  We glued wood blocks inside the door to provide adequate support for the dog door.  Not every handyman will take the time to add wood blocks to make a secure installation, but that is part of the service we offer.

When we installed the door, we took care of one of Alexandra’s special requests.  We removed the old, ragged copper weather strip from her door jamb, and replaced it with a new vinyl covered foam-filled weather strip.  This installation is one of our specialties, and it is a great way to ensure the new door has a good seal against the hot Houston weather that comes every April and stays with us until October.

If you want a dog door installed in your home, please give us a call at 713-467-3667 to talk about your project!

Take care,
