I have a door that goes from outside into my garage and i want to put a Dog Door in that door, Then put my dogs crate right up against the Dog door. So she can come in the crate if she wants to sleep, and go out of the crate if she needs to use the bathroom but i want it so that cold air isn’t always blowing into the crate.
Make a cut out in the door or wall or wherever the dog is going to be going through. Then get 2 hinges that swing both ways so the door can swing in either direction. Attach the hinges to the top of the door one close to each corner. Then take some old carpet or blanket and staple gun it to both sides of the door leaving about 1/2 inch hanging over each open edge. Make sure the door can still open and shut but the extra blanket or carpet will seal the door when it’s closed. Good luck!
