It is highly recommended to hire a local glazier who can cut the glass pane for installing the dog door. It is not a DIY task, so make sure you let a professional take charge. It is important to note that dog doors, in general, have different ranges of thickness. To choose the most suitable one, you should consider checking the thickness of the glass pieces of your French door for determining the perfect fit.
After cutting the dog door-sized glass piece from your French door, the glacier will install the dog door and put everything back together to give the final finish. The steps to installing a dog door in a French door that has multiple glass panes are as follows:.

You will note that the glass pieces on the door are quite high.
Hence, make sure you first think about the height that you would want the dog door to be installed.

When the glazier has cut through your glass door, take careful measurements of the opening of the hole. Keeping in mind the size of the opening, you can get a dog door custom-made to make sure it fits into your French door perfectly.
