Hi All,
I'm building a new kennel and need some ideas for good solid doggie doors that cannot be chewed. I would like the fronts of the houses to look good for a while. Any ideas, brands or websites would be much appreciated. Also pictures of yours with installatin procedure would really be appreciated. Thanks for the help.


Justin

I saw these doors on Jess Dickerson's kennel and I really like them.

They are aluminum, the dog opens them with his nose, look great, and will last for many years.

Billy, You can take a pup and have them know how in less than a hour. And no we have enough snow of our own.

Hi Tim and thanks for the picture. Are the doors spring loaded. I just purchased my first house and am building a 10 X 20 Tuffshed. I'm going to locate the dog houses inside the shed and the runs on the outside. I just want a dog door that won't allow young dogs and pups to chew the door frame out around the shed.

I went to the local stae highway dept. and they gave me two old speed limit sighs. They are aluminum and I cut my doors out of them. they are the same dementions as the K-9 and then I went to the local hardware store and picked up an adjustable spring loaded hindge. I then rivitoed them on the doors and onto my kennel. I love them. The hindges cost me about 15 dollars and the signs were free (they were going to scrap them anyway) so I saved a lot of cash and only took me about an hour to make them. I even put the bend in them so that the dogs can open them with thier nose.

JUSTIN ---Go to a tin shop and have them to bend you some channels out of alum. the size you need to cap your opens of the doors --with a bout 1-1/2" flanges and screw them in place thats what I have had for years -- no chew --and than add you spring load doors like the thread above --works great and yes dog will be using them with in hours

Roger I drilled the holes in mine as it got to warm in there. It can be minus 25 outside and it will be around 50 degrees in the dog house.
