Three Brands Worth Choosing Between

We carry Hale, PlexiDor, and Endura Flap because they're the ones that hold up. These are not products you'll find at a home improvement warehouse. Each one earns its place on our list.

Hale Pet Door
Our Most Installed Brand · Widest Size Range

American-made since 1985. Hale is what we install on the majority of our jobs, including door, wall, and custom panel applications, because they offer the widest size range available, excellent build quality, and a price point that delivers real value. Backed by a lifetime frame warranty and a 10-year prorated flap warranty.

PlexiDor
Toughest Build · High-Traffic Households

The most rugged door we carry. PlexiDor's rigid acrylic panel system, with no flaps to replace, is built for households where a large dog hits the door at full speed multiple times a day. More expensive than Hale, but it earns it. Backed by a 10-year warranty covering all parts, non-prorated.

Endura Flap
Best Weatherseal · Sash Window Specialist

The benchmark for weathertight performance. We primarily recommend Endura Flap for sash window installations and select sliding glass door applications, where its dual-layer insulated flap design does what no other brand does as well. Backed by a full lifetime warranty, including normal wear.

Now Certified · Pawport Smart Door

Want the door to lock, and open itself?

The brands above are the best manual pet doors made, and they are what most of our customers should buy. But if you want a motorized door that runs from your phone and locks with steel deadbolts, that is a different category, and we are now a certified installer for it.

  • Two steel deadbolts, plus an alarm if the door is forced
  • Opens for your pet's smart tag and stays locked for everything else
  • Schedules, rain lock, and lightning lock from your phone

Prefer a collar-key door without an app? PlexiDor's electronic RFID line is still part of our lineup. Compare the options.

Installation

Three Ways In. We Do All of Them.

01
Standard Door

The most common application, and the one most often done poorly. A properly installed door unit requires clean cutwork, correct sizing for the door thickness, and a seal that holds long-term. Hale door models are our go-to here for nearly every pet size.

02
Wall Installation

Cut-through to exterior, framed correctly, sealed against weather and pests, with a tunnel section sized to your wall depth. Wood framing, brick veneer, and block foundation walls each require a different approach. We've done all three.

03
Custom Panel for French & Glass Doors

For French doors and glass doors, our standard approach replaces the existing double-pane glass with a half-light or three-quarter light, and our crew builds a custom wood panel for the lower section with a door-model Hale pet door set into it. Finished, purpose-built, and one of the better-looking installations we do.

04
Sash Windows, Sidelights & More

Endura Flap is our go-to for sash window installations. Sidelights, specialty configurations, and unusual openings are handled case by case. We also install custom-sized Hale pet doors. Any opening that doesn't fit a standard size can be ordered to spec with the same lifetime frame warranty. If your situation doesn't fit a standard category, call us first.

Why It Matters
"Most pet door problems aren't product problems. They're installation problems."

A frame that doesn't seal, a cut-through that wasn't properly finished, a unit mounted at the wrong height for the dog's approach. We've seen what happens when a premium door gets a mediocre installation. It's not cheap to fix.

Lucia Renovations has handled our pet door work exclusively for sixteen years. That continuity is intentional. We're not dispatching whoever's available. We send someone who knows exactly what each brand and each application requires, and who doesn't leave until the door works the way it's supposed to.

"The installation was cleaner than I expected. They took their time, the seal is perfect, and the door works exactly as described. Worth every penny."

"Called from Huntsville after getting nowhere locally. They drove up, did the job right, and the travel charge was completely reasonable. I'd do it again."
