Finding the right pet door for a large dog can be challenging—big breeds need more space, stronger materials, and a secure installation that integrates seamlessly with your home. Glazify, backed by more than 19 years of glazing expertise in Ballarat, specialises in custom pet door options for large dogs, delivering safe, durable, and professionally installed solutions tailored to the needs of local homeowners and businesses. For properties with glass doors, double-glazed units, or security screens, Glazify ensures that every installation is perfectly fitted, compliant, and built to last.
Larger dog breeds naturally exert more force on pet doors, whether pushing through the flap or brushing their shoulders along the frame. Standard, off-the-shelf pet doors aren’t designed to withstand this repeated impact. A custom solution is essential for:
Safe, comfortable access for tall or muscular breeds
Eliminating the risk of glass cracks or structural stress
Providing a secure, lockable entry point
Reducing the chance of drafts and energy loss
Ensuring long-term durability, even with high daily use
Breeds like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Boxers, and Rottweilers often require extra-large or custom-measured openings. A precision installation from an experienced glazier ensures your glass panel can safely accommodate the larger cut-out.
Glass-mounted pet doors are among the top choices for Ballarat homeowners because they integrate seamlessly with sliding glass doors, laundry doors, and tall window panels.
Key advantages:
Maintains open, bright living spaces
Uses toughened AS1288-compliant safety glass
Ideal for tenants or homeowners wanting a clean look
Minimises frame modifications and structural changes
This solution is especially suitable for modern and contemporary homes with expansive glass surfaces.
Double-glazed units require specialised handling due to their sealed, insulated composition. Glazify manufactures replacement toughened double-glazed panels fitted with pet door openings specifically designed for large dogs.
Benefits include:
Improved thermal regulation
Reduced heating and cooling costs
Noise reduction, ideal for busy Ballarat neighbourhoods
Stronger glass with better longevity
This is an excellent option for homeowners who want a pet door without sacrificing energy efficiency.
These are perfect for backyards, enclosed patios, and outdoor entertaining areas.
Features:
Reinforced mesh for scratch resistance
Lightweight but strong aluminium frames
Good airflow while keeping insects out
Works well alongside glass-mounted doors
Screen doors offer a secondary access option when the main glass door is open.
Wall-mounted doors provide maximum placement flexibility when glass isn’t ideal or when you want your pet to enter through a specific area such as a mudroom, laundry, or side passage.
Advantages:
Suitable for brick, timber, and weatherboard walls
Durable, insulated flaps
Greater security thanks to built-in locking panels
Ideal for high-traffic pet routes
Large pet doors require accurate cutting, glass replacement, and structural reinforcement. Glazify installs all pet doors in compliance with AS1288 Australian Safety Glass Standards. This ensures your home remains secure, safe, and structurally sound—even with a bigger opening.
What the process includes:
Onsite inspection to determine ideal placement
Measuring your dog’s height, width, and stride
Manufacturing a new toughened glass panel
Installing the pet door with sealing and weatherproofing
Testing flap movement, alignment, and safety
Providing care and maintenance instructions
Glazify’s 19+ years of expertise ensure that every installation is performed with precision and care, reducing future risks like cracking, misalignment, or draft intrusion.
Larger openings need stronger locking mechanisms. Options include:
Sliding lockable cover panels
Two-way or four-way locking systems
Reinforced frames
Security-grade screws and fittings
Ballarat’s climate is known for cold mornings, hot summers, and sudden winds. Energy-efficient features may include:

Brush seals
Multi-layer flaps

The best option is a custom glass-mounted, double-glazed, or wall-mounted pet door built specifically for large breeds. These provide durability, comfort, and a secure fit.
Yes. Glazify replaces your existing panel with a new toughened safety glass panel fitted with a large pet door opening.
Most large dogs require an opening around 28–35 cm wide and 40–55 cm tall, but Glazify takes custom measurements to ensure the perfect fit.
Not when professionally installed. Modern pet doors include locking covers, reinforced frames, and secure fasteners to reduce risks.
No. Glazify does not cut your existing glass. Instead, the team manufactures a compliant toughened panel designed to safely accommodate the pet door.
