The fitting visit
Made for the pet.
Considered for the home.
Pethrune is a small fitting service for dog and cat doors in Maple Crossing and within 15 miles. We start with the opening, the surface and how everyone uses the room.
Before anything
gets cut.
At the free measuring visit, we look at your pet’s measurements and the proposed doorway. For a wall, we check its construction and the route through it. For a slider, we check the track and how much walking space remains.
If the surface or position is unsuitable, we explain why and talk through another spot. We do not start cutting while the plan is still a guess.
You get a written price and a description of the unit and work. We agree on a fitting time once the parts are ready.
On the fitting day
- Clear the area on both sides of the opening.
- Keep pets in another room while we work.
- We fit and seal the frame, check the flap and collect the offcuts.
- We show you how to clean and remove the flap, where the unit allows it.
Let your pet get used to the opening at its own pace. If something in our fitting needs attention, tell us so we can inspect the workmanship.
November / Getting ready for cold days
Look at the edges.
Listen for the flap.
A flap that hangs crooked, feels stiff or no longer meets its edge may need cleaning, adjustment or replacement. Brush seals and the frame seal can wear, too.
We check for dirt along the flap, gaps around the frame and weather strips on sliding panels. A compatible replacement flap and seal visit is usually $95–$180, including common parts.
A heavier or multi-flap unit can reduce drafts, but it also changes how much effort a pet needs to push through. We discuss that tradeoff. Air still moves through an open flap, especially on windy days.
Visits that fit your week
Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm, and Saturday, 9am–1pm, by appointment. Sunday is closed. We check your general area and agree on a time before asking for the address.
A better fit begins with a look.
New opening, replacement flap or a question about winter drafts: describe what you have in mind.
