Vancouver Carpenter: Signs You Need a New Pet Door Installed

Signs You Need a New Pet Door Installed

Pet doors are a great way to give your furry friends the freedom to come and go as they please. However, like any other product with moving parts, pet doors can eventually wear out and need to be replaced. A reliable carpenter in Vancouver can complete the job in no time. Here are five signs that it might be time for a new pet door.

1. You Have a New Pet

If you have recently added a new pet to your family, it’s important to make sure that they have their own pet door. Not only will this give them independence and a sense of ownership, but it will also help to prevent them from getting injured by large human doors swinging back and forth.

2. You’re Buying Replacement Parts Often

If you find yourself constantly buying replacement parts for your pet door, it’s a sign that the door is starting to wear out. Over time, the door’s hardware can become damaged, the seals can break, and the door itself can warp or crack. If you’re finding that you need to replace parts more often than you should, it’s time to consider a new pet door.

3. It’s Too Hard To Fix

If you’ve tried to fix your pet door yourself and you’ve been unsuccessful, it’s time to call in a professional. Pet doors can be tricky to repair, and if you’re not careful, you could end up having to replace the entire human door along with the pet door. Professional repair services in Vancouver will be able to assess the damage and make the necessary improvements quickly and efficiently.

4. The Pet Door Is Damaged

If your pet door is damaged, it could be a safety hazard and needs to be replaced. For example, a broken pet door could allow your pet to escape from your home, or it could allow other animals or pests to enter your home. It could also have broken shards of plastic or wood that could cause splinters or other injuries.

5. Your Pet No Longer Fits the Door

If your pet has grown or shrunk since you got the pet door, it might be time for a new one. A pet door that is too small will be uncomfortable for your pet to use, and a pet door that is too large will be an unnecessary challenge for an aging pet.
