The Challenge

Solving Glass Access Challenges

A common misconception among homeowners is that a hole can simply be cut into an existing glass sliding door to fit a pet flap.

In most modern Brisbane homes, glass doors are made from toughened safety glass. This glass cannot be cut, drilled, or altered once it has been processed; attempting to do so will cause the entire panel to shatter into thousands of pieces.

Our Solution

Complete Panel Replacement

This is where our expertise as professional glaziers becomes essential. Our solution involves a complete panel replacement service.

We come to your property, measure your existing door frame with millimetre precision, and fabricate a brand new sheet of Grade A Safety Glass with the pet door aperture pre-cut and toughened at the factory. We then swap this new panel with your existing glass.

This method ensures the structural integrity of your door is maintained and that you retain your original glass panel as a spare.

Our Glazing and Installation Workflow

We operate a streamlined, transparent process designed to get your pet door installed efficiently without compromising on quality.

Consultation

We visit your property to measure glass thickness, tint, and frame type. We also help select the correct flap size for your pet.

Fabrication

A new glass panel is cut, the hole is water-jet cut, and then the glass is toughened in a furnace. This process typically takes 5-7 working days.

Professional Installation

We carefully remove the existing glass (and hand it to you), install the new panel with the pre-fitted pet door, and re-glaze the frame using fresh wedges and silicone.

Final Inspection

We clean the glass, demonstrate locking mechanisms, and leave your site clean, removing all debris and old glazing rubbers.

AS1288 Safety Glass Standards

Safety is our non-negotiable priority. All glass installations performed by Brisbane Glazier strictly adhere to AS1288:2006 Glass in Buildings – Selection and Installation.

Any glass door is classified as a 'Human Impact Safety Zone'. Therefore, when we replace a glass panel to accommodate a pet door, we guarantee the use of Grade A Toughened Safety Glass.

This ensures that if the glass were ever to break, it would crumble into small, safe granules rather than jagged shards. We provide certification on our work, giving you peace of mind that your home remains compliant and safe for your family and pets.

Care and Maintenance for Pet Doors

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

Wash the flap and the surrounding glass with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the acrylic flap or the aluminium frame.

Lubrication

If the sliding door track feels gritty, vacuum it out and apply a silicone-based spray—never use oil-based lubricants like WD-40 on rollers as they attract dirt. Check the flap hinges for free movement.

Inspect the weather pile strips around the flap. If they become worn over the years, they can be easily replaced to maintain draft exclusion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you cut a hole in my existing glass door?

Almost certainly not.

Most glass doors are toughened safety glass which will explode if you try to cut it.

We must supply a new panel.

What happens to my old glass?

We can leave it with you (in case you move out) or dispose of it for you.

Do you sell the pet doors?

Yes, we supply top quality pet doors, or we can install one you have bought if it is suitable for glass.

How long does it take?

Allow about 7-10 days for the new glass to be manufactured.

Are the doors secure?

Yes, they come with a closing panel.

However, very large dog doors can be a security risk, so we recommend considering location carefully.
