Pet Doors and Pet Mesh Upgrades

A Sliding Door Upgrade for Pets & Their People

At Suncoast Security Screens, we know that pets are part of the family—and that means your home needs to work for them too. We recently helped a lovely family in Buderim whose sliding screen door had taken a beating from their four-legged friend. Their dog had scratched through the mesh over time, and the screen had started catching and dragging along the track. Like many pet owners, they didn’t want to replace the entire door—they just needed a practical, durable upgrade that could handle everyday use.

That’s where our pet mesh and custom-installed pet doors come in.

We removed the damaged mesh and replaced it with high-quality pet mesh, which is significantly stronger than standard flyscreen. This specialised mesh is designed to withstand scratching, pushing, and other pet-related wear and tear, making it an ideal choice for active dogs and curious cats. Not only is it more durable, but it also maintains airflow and visibility, so your home still feels light, breezy, and open.

To make life even easier for the family—and their dog—we installed a medium-sized pet door directly into the new sliding screen. This gives the dog the freedom to come and go without constantly scratching or bumping into the door, saving wear on the screen and giving the pet more independence.

While on site, we also took the time to adjust the screen door rollers, ensuring the door could slide smoothly and easily along the track again. Years of daily use had worn them down, causing the door to drag and making it frustrating to open and close. A quick roller adjustment made a big difference to functionality—and added to the overall feel of a fresh, revitalised door.

The result?

• ✔ A happy dog with easy, independent access
• ✔ A reinforced screen that can handle rough paws and claws
• ✔ A door that glides smoothly, without sticking or dragging

The whole job took less than an hour, but the results were long-lasting and instantly improved the family’s daily routine.

If your screen door is looking worse for wear, struggling to slide, or constantly getting scratched up by your pets, it might be time for a practical upgrade. Whether you’re dealing with torn mesh, faulty rollers, or a pet who needs their own entryway, Suncoast Security Screens has the experience and products to get it sorted quickly and professionally.

We offer custom installations across the Sunshine Coast, using pet-safe materials that are tough, stylish, and built to last.
