Kennel doors

Post by doggin »

I made my doors from 1/8" alum.I used scrape road signs,I put one spring loaded hinge and a regular hinge. I bent one edge ( and rounded those corners) so the dog could open the door. I also istalled a 1/2" bolt on the hinge side going all the way thru so I can hold it open until the dog learns to use it then I close it some each day until the dog Has it mastered.I have also mounted the doors on frames and just insalled them the same idea.. I cut out the louvered section off an old dryer and attached to the center of the door to eliminate condensation Inside my kennels are above 32degrees when it is 20 below zero.I have a 40 watt light bulb in a cage for a heater doors work great.
