Why Choose Professional Storm Door Pet Door Installation?
The right product for the right door. Storm doors require a purpose-built pet door. Using a standard door mount pet door in a storm door results in a unit that protrudes too far, seals incorrectly, and looks wrong on both sides. The Security Boss Storm Door Dog Door is engineered specifically for thin-panel applications and installs flush within the storm door's panel depth.
Precision cutting for a clean result. Storm door panels are aluminum and fiberglass — they require the right cutting tools and technique to avoid warping, cracking, or tearing the panel material around the opening. Portal Pros installers use the appropriate tools for the specific panel material and finish the opening edges cleanly before setting the pet door frame.
Full seal on both sides. A properly installed storm door pet door is sealed against air and moisture infiltration on both the interior and exterior sides of the panel. An improperly installed unit leaves gaps that defeat the entire purpose of having a storm door.
Your storm door functions normally after installation. The door continues to open, close, latch, and operate its closer mechanism exactly as before. The pet door is simply an additional access point in the lower panel section.
Craftsmanship guarantee. Every Portal Pros storm door installation is backed by our craftsmanship guarantee. If there is ever an issue with our installation work, we make it right.

Let customers speak for us
The process was seamless, from the initial consultation through the installation of the door. Now if I can just train both dogs to use it.
easy to install and cats started using it immediately, would use them again
Sturdy door with strong and easy to use security panel. A large, freewheeling outdoor cat adopted me a few months ago and he wasn't adjusting to life as an indoor cat. I got him this door and after showing him how it worked, he came in from outside through it the 1st day and was able to go in and out by the second. Happy cat.
I was beyond impressed with the level of customer service from Bryan. I had attempted contact with another company seeking assistance on where to place a dog door that made the most sense- but I was matched with a bot thatwas clearly giving me template answers. That was not so with Portal Pros. Bryan was incredibly helpful and attentive with a customized solution. Installation was excellent, and the install team was professional and great with our dogs.
I had a glass dog door installed in my backyard entrance cant be happier with there work really professional!
I love my door! They were most affordable out of everyone I quoted and the door is high quality. Would recommend.
I had a portal pros install a doggie door at my home. They had to go through a 10 inch wall through natural stone, which took a long time but did an excellent job. I would recommend Portal pros doggie doors to anyone. Brian the sales rep was very knowledgeable & was David the installer that did an excellent job.
Ordered a doggie door to go into the wall. They were very helpful in determining the size of door for our dog when placing the order. They were also great in figuring out the height placement when installed.
It fits in well and our dog got used to it in a couple of tries.
The installation was done professionally. Would recommend to anyone looking to getting a door installed.
Bryan and his team of installers were very professional, responsive and reliable. Bryan followed up on my questions and addressed efficiently several points that I raised.
Had a wall-mounted dog door installed and it turned out amazing! Our Golden absolutely loves it, and we love that she can now go in and out whenever she wants.
had a glass dog door installed into my French door, looks seamless and the installers were on time and courteous - great experience overall!
Team did a fantastic job on a very challenging install. Highly recommended
I was worried about how it would look when finished but I couldn’t be happier. David took his time and custom fit the portal and trim perfectly. Both inside and out it looks great and Penny LOVES it!
Had a glass dog door installed in my French door, looks amazing and my dogs started using it immediately - would highly recommend Portal Pros for the go to dog door installer!
