About Pet-Tek Australia

We make pet doors. Only pet doors — and we've been refining the same idea since 1999: that a door for a cat or a dog should be as well made as the door it goes into, should keep the weather out as well as your own back door, and should still be working a decade later.

The full Pet-Tek range of Catwalk and Dogwalk cat and dog doors

Designed and made by the people who sell them

Catwalk® cat doors and Dogwalk® dog doors are designed and manufactured by Pet-Tek International in New Zealand. We're not a brand that puts a badge on someone else's mould — we design the bodies, cut the tooling, choose the materials and test the results. When a customer tells us a flap wore differently than expected, or a glazier suggests a better cut-out, that feedback goes back into the product. Twenty-seven years of that is why the current doors look simple: everything awkward has already been designed out.

It's also why we can support a door for its whole life. Every wearing part — flaps, locking dials, collar magnets — is stocked as a genuine spare, so a tired door gets a new flap in minutes instead of going to landfill.

Now selling direct in Australia

Australian pet owners have been fitting Pet-Tek doors for years, usually through glaziers and pet-door installers. This store brings the full range directly to you: GST-inclusive prices, flat-rate shipping Australia-wide from our Melbourne warehouse, and a three-year warranty on the door body of every model, with one year on moving parts.

Prefer to have it fitted? Our installer directory lists independent specialists around the country who fit these doors week in, week out — and any local glazier can do a glass installation, because the round cut-out we use is the shape the trade prefers. If you are quoting a job, every cut-out diameter and glass thickness range is on our trade specifications page.

What actually makes the doors different

The flap is calibrated, not just fittedThe closing force is set deliberately light — light enough for a cat to push comfortably. A heavier close would seal harder and stop pets using the door, which is a trade we won't make.
Sealed without being stiffA full brush seal and a near-zero flap tolerance keep draughts and rain out, while internal draft angles drain water out of the door body rather than trapping it.
Round cut-outs for glassA single round hole is stronger in glass than a rectangle with corners to crack from, and it's the cut glaziers are set up to make.
Built for the Australian sunUV-stabilised, high-impact polycarbonate that won't yellow, fog or go brittle — the same class of material used in aircraft windows.
Four-way locking as standardIn only, out only, fully open or locked — on every door in the range, not as a paid upgrade.
Repairable by designFlaps, dials and magnets are all replaceable at home in minutes, with genuine parts made to the original specification.

Where to start

If you know what you need, the range is under Cat Doors and Dog Doors, split by whether the door is going into glass or timber. If you're not sure, the Find Your Fit tool asks a few questions about your pet and your doorway and shortlists the right model in under a minute.

Still stuck, or after something we don't list? Get in touch — we'd rather spend five minutes getting you the right door than have you return the wrong one.
