What We Help With

Pet Doors for Security Doors, Screens & Glass in Newcastle

Give your pets the freedom to come and go without leaving your home open. Smith Aluminium supplies and installs Australian-made pet doors in security screen doors, fly screens, timber doors and glass sliding doors across Newcastle and the Hunter. Whether you've got a cat, a Cavoodle or a Labrador, we'll help you choose the right size and fit it properly, so your door keeps doing its job.

Pet Doors for Every Door in Your Home

Pet Doors for Security Screen Doors

This is the most popular choice for Hunter homes. We fit a purpose-made pet door into your new or existing security screen door, so your pets can get in and out while the main door stays open for airflow. We can build it into a new hinged or sliding security door, or retrofit one to the door you already have.

Pet Doors for Fly Screen Doors

It's an easy upgrade for back doors and patios. A pet door in your fly screen stops the dog from pushing through and tearing the mesh, and it keeps the flies and mozzies outside.

Pet Doors for Timber Doors

For laundries, garages and side entries, we can cut a pet door neatly into solid or hollow-core timber doors. It's a tidy, permanent way to give pets their own entry.

Pet Doors for Glass Sliding Doors

No screen door? No problem. We can arrange a pet door to be fitted into single or double-glazed glass, in white or clear finishes, so the door blends in with your sliding door.

Hopper Hatches

Hopper hatches are a compact option for windows and smaller openings, and they suit cats and small pets.

Why Our Pet Doors Are Built to Last

  • Australian made and owned: Our pet doors come from a local manufacturer that has supplied security and glazing professionals since 1997.
  • Tough, UV-stabilised materials: High-impact construction stands up to harsh Aussie sun and busy pets.
  • Lockable for peace of mind: Lock the pet door at night or when you're away.
  • Slimline design: A neat profile that sits flush with your door and doesn't look like an afterthought.
  • Hard or flexible flaps: Choose a rigid flap for durability or a flexible flap for timid and older pets.
  • Colours to match: Stone Beige, White, Primrose, Brown and Black for screen and timber doors, plus White or Clear for glass.
  • Replaceable parts: Worn flaps can be swapped out, so you don't need to replace the whole door.

Pet Doors That Don't Compromise Your Security

One of the most common questions we get is, "Will a pet door make my security door less secure?" Done properly, it doesn't have to.


We position and fit every pet door so it sits low in the door and well away from the lock, and every pet door can be locked shut when you need it to be. For the best result, we recommend building the pet door into a new security screen door from the start. That way the frame, mesh and pet door are all made to work together.



For coastal homes, we can pair your pet door with a marine-grade 316 stainless steel mesh security door that's built to handle salt air around Newcastle, Port Stephens and Lake Macquarie. We'll talk you through the options on site, so you can pick the right balance of security, convenience and budget for your home.

Reviews from Real Local Customers

Glen constructed and installed screen doors and window screens to all rooms of my apartment. One of them in particular was quite difficult to achieve. Glen was especially careful to ensure that the frames matched the colour of the existing door and window frames. The quality of his work in the fitting of the screens was second to none. They are excellent screen doors. Glen himself was easy to deal with. Next time I need some insect screening done, I will be calling him.

Glen from Smith Aluminium is great to deal with and very professional with years of experience. My new screen door looks amazing even though my door frame was out of square.

I have no problem recommending Glen for a professional service, very happy with his work installing twelve stacker security sliding doors on our new home.

Absolutely thrilled with my screen door. I have a 1970s house with old door tracks and no screen door. I never thought it was possible to get a screen door that would fit. Glen made it possible, and he was lovely to deal with and always on time.

Glen did a great job replacing my sliding screen door. He was very reliable and extremely accommodating, working around my limited availability. I would highly recommend.

FAQs about About Pet Doors

    Any opening changes a door. We fit the pet door low and away from the lock, and it can be locked shut at night or when you're away. For maximum security, we recommend building the pet door into a new door from the start.

  • Can I lock the pet door?

    Yes. Our pet doors have a locking system, so you can control when your pets can use them.
