Installation Instructions

Tools & Materials Required

 WARNING: Do not cut into electrical wires under any circumstances while trying to install your Endura wall mount pet door. Cutting into electrical wires may result in severe injury or death. If you have any doubt in your ability to install your new Endura wall mount pet door, Patio Pacific strongly suggests having a fully licensed and insured general contractor install your Endura wall mount pet door for you.  

NOTE: A minimum of 14-5/8 inches is required between studs to install the -12 Endura wall mount.  

Installation Instructions

1. Locate nearby studs with a stud finder.
    

2. Tape the provided template to the desired location considering where the pet door is relative to the studs. The top edge of the cut-out line should be 1-1/4 inch (or more) above the dog’s withers (shoulders) for the single flap wall mount, and 2 inches for the double flap wall mount. Level the top edge of the cut-out line as shown in Figure 1. 
    

3. Mark  the  hole  centers  for  the  four  holes and remove the template.
    

4. Drill the four 3/8 inch holes as shown in Figure 2.
    

5. Draw the cut-out lines using a straight edge as shown on the template and cut along the line as shown in Figure 3.
    

6. Drill the four corners of the outside wall through the hole in the wall. Repeat Step 5 for the outside wall.
    

7. Measure the outer-most distance between the walls. Using a jigsaw or other reciprocating saw, and the jigsaw blade provided, cut the tunnel 1/4 inch shorter than the distance measured. To prevent the tunnel from “drumming” while cutting, clamp a two-by-four to the outside of the side of the tunnel you are cutting.
    

8. Cut the threaded rods so that they are 1/2 inch longer than the wall thickness. When cutting the rod, first thread a nut on, so that after cutting, removing the nut will realign the threads of the rod.
    

9. Install the weather-stripping into the groove on both  frames with the start/end gap at the bottom.
    

10. Optionally, you can cut a piece of wood to put as a support underneath the tunnel. This is especially helpful for heavy dogs.
     

11. Place the frame with the tunnel attached on the inside of your wall, and the other frame on the outside.
     

12. Screw the four closed barrel nuts onto the four threaded studs, and insert into the flap frame.
     

13. Installing the open barrel nuts can be difficult. To assist in holding on to the barrel nuts, use the plastic screw. Force the plastic screw into the barrel nut until you hear it click as shown assembled in Figure 4. It can then be mated with the frame screw. Screw together the four screws (threaded studs and closed barrel nuts) and the four open barrel nuts as shown in Figure 5, but do not tighten.
     

14. Before tightening down the screws, check that the pet door is level and adjust as needed. Tighten the screws until the weather-stripping compresses and the pet door touches the wall. Do not over tighten.
     

15. Hammer the hole covers into the frame using the wooden end of a hammer (or similar non metal tool).
     

16. Apply silicone along the inside of the tunnel where it mates with the flap frames to seal your pet door from the elements. Failure to seal your pet door can lead to severe wall water damage.
