A LITTLE CLARITY GOES A LONG WAY

Big freedom.
Little details.

The best pet-door project starts with a good plan. Let’s figure out the questions, before you figure out the opening.

Four project guides. One useful brief.

THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY THROUGH

What’s your
starting point?

Every surface brings a different set of questions. Choose the one you’re considering.

THE BLUE ELEPHANT
PROJECT BRIEF

A little plan.
A much clearer
conversation.

The place
The pets
The questions

TAKE THE NEXT STEP, ON PAPER

Let’s get it
out of your head.

Turn a few observations into a project brief. Record the unknowns, gather the right questions, and take a useful starting point to your supplier or installer.

THREE THINGS WORTH KNOWING

A good plan makes room
for the unknowns.

01 / THE PET

One size label
isn’t the whole story.

Pet measurements, the clear passage and installation dimensions describe different things. Keep each record separate.

Read Hale’s measurement guide ↗
02 / THE PLACE

Both sides
of the opening matter.

Bring the approach, landing and destination into the conversation. Confirm who can assess the proposed route.

Put the route in your brief ↗
03 / THE PROJECT

A price needs
a complete scope.

Ask who supplies, confirms, installs and finishes each part. A glass pet-door item, for example, excludes the glass itself.

Big thinking.
