doggy door to screen porch?

[bhnumbers]

has anyone done this? And seen it done well? What kind of person do I even call to have one installed? A carpenter? (we are not DIY-ers)

Here is where we want to put it.

I would think any handyman could do this. That's a great idea, actually. Our screen porch door doesn't latch, so if the back door is open the dog can just go out and push open the screen porch door himself to get out. But he can't get back in!

I agree. Any handyman should. But, I bought a doggy door that snaps into the screen. I just had to cut a hole (that she had already made for me), and it snapped into place.

Another idea is a storm door with a doggy door in it. We have one and love it. And if we sell our house it's easy for a new owner to just replace a door instead of a hole in a wall or whatever. Anyway--we have this one and LOVE it. What's also nice is that if we don't want the dog to have access we just shut the regular door in front of the storm door and he can't go.

They're easy to install too (I think, my dad did it lol).
