General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Storm door with doggie door in it?
« on: June 02, 2009, 04:50:17 am »
Hi everyone,
The storm door (screen door) that goes from our family room to our garage is broken, it doesn't latch. If the garage door is open Harley lets himself out whenever he wants to go out (generally to visit with passersby - strangly not when he has to go to the bathroom and I'm sitting - then he whines to go out...anyway). Harley is on invisible fencing so it is no big deal that he lets himself out.
The door is in very bad shape and we want to replace it - but it would be nice if Harley could keep going out - and even nicer if he could let himself back in!!
I found 1 door that was $800.00 - that isn't going to fly with hubby - especially since dog and kids ruin storm doors, quickly in our house.
Does anyone know where to get reasonably priced storm doors with doggie doors already installed in them. OR has anyone installed a doggie door in a storm door?
Thanks for any suggestions - I think Harley will have a bad headache if we replace the door, he will keep hitting it over and over trying to get out - love him DEARLY but not the sharpest tool.
Thanks
Randy
