Screen Door Pet Door in Richmond Hill
A screen door pet door is an ABS-framed magnetic-closure flap installed into a patio screen door, giving pets independent access to the yard while the screen stays closed. In Richmond Hill, where family-oriented neighbourhoods from Bayview Hill through Oak Ridges have a high rate of dog ownership and fully fenced rear yards, the patio screen door to the backyard is one of the most frequently used access points in the home. A pet door removes the need to open and close the screen every time the dog wants out.
Richmond Hill's Oak Ridges neighbourhood, adjacent to the Oak Ridges Moraine and Lake Wilcox, has elevated summer insect pressure from lakefront and moraine drainage sources. For dog-owning households in Oak Ridges, the patio screen door is opened and closed constantly during the summer months — the insect entry from those openings is a real and recurring issue. The pet door closes that loop. Bayview Hill and Doncrest families with dogs that have access to a rear yard or pool deck face the same routine, and the magnetic self-closing flap handles it quietly without requiring any action from the household. The 12"×14" unit handles most medium-to-large breeds common to Richmond Hill suburban households; the 8"×10" is appropriate for small dogs and cats. Lockable side locks are included for overnight closure.

A lakeside home on Lake Wilcox had standard 18×16 mesh throughout. The homeowners reported that standard screens weren't keeping out midges on summer evenings, making the patio unusable after 7pm.
Solution
Replaced 6 ground-floor window screens and the patio door screen with 20×20 fine mesh fitted to existing aluminum frames. Homeowners reported a noticeable improvement the same evening.
