Put a Pet Door in a Storm Door
  •  Purchase a storm door locally. Measure the thickness of the storm door.
     
  •   Then purchase a "self-framing" pet door for doors that will adjust to that thickness. You'll find these on our "Pet Doors for Doors" page. If you need a storm door, you probably want a good "4-season" pet door.

It is possible to purchase a complete storm door with the pet door pre-installed. However, we've encountered some problems with this approach.

First, a considerable amount of assembly is still required as the storm doors are shipped "knock down". Second, it's difficult to be sure that the pet door is installed at the proper height. And, finally, if you have a problem, it's more difficult to get it resolved from a distance.
