Can Renters Install a Pet Door?
Yes.
Just because you’re renting doesn’t mean you have to miss out on a professionally installed pet door.
At Platinum Pet Doors, we can replace your existing glass panel with a brand-new toughened safety glass panel incorporating your chosen pet door, while carefully storing your original glass panel for the duration of your tenancy.
When your lease ends, we can simply reinstall your original glass panel, allowing you to return the property to its original condition.
How Does It Work?
Our rental solution is straightforward.
Step 1 – We carefully remove your existing glass panel and store it safely.
Step 2 – We install a brand-new toughened safety glass panel complete with your chosen pet door.
You get all the benefits of a permanent glass pet door without permanently altering the landlord’s original glass.
What Happens When I Move Out?
When it’s time to move, simply let us know.
We’ll return and professionally reinstall your original glass panel at a competitive rate, returning the property to its original condition.
If your new home is also suitable for a glass pet door, we can often reuse your existing pet door by installing it into a brand-new replacement glass panel for your new property, saving you the cost of purchasing another pet door.
Because you own the replacement glass panel, you’re investing in your own pet door solution—not your landlord’s property.
Why Choose This Instead of a Temporary Insert?
Your sliding door continues to operate exactly as it was designed by the manufacturer.
That means you keep all the benefits of your original door, including:
- Full security
- Proper weather sealing
- Better insulation
- Full use of your sliding door
- A clean, factory-finished appearance
Rather than living with the compromises of a temporary insert, you can enjoy a professionally installed pet door throughout your tenancy.
Do I Need My Landlord’s Permission?
Every lease agreement is different, so we recommend discussing any alterations with your landlord or property manager before proceeding.
Many landlords appreciate this approach because the original glass panel is safely retained and can be professionally reinstalled when the tenancy ends.
Why Choose Platinum Pet Doors?
As qualified glaziers, we don’t simply install pet doors—we manufacture replacement toughened safety glass specifically for your home.
Our rental solution allows you to enjoy the convenience of a professionally installed pet door today while giving you the option of returning the property to its original condition when your lease ends.
It’s a practical, long-term solution that many renters don’t realise is available.
