Parts
- Interior Frame
- Exterior Frame
- Cutout Template
- Screw Sleeves (Medium 4 pcs., Large 4 pcs., XL 6 pcs.)
- Nylon Screws (Medium 4 pcs., Large 4 pcs., XL 6 pcs.)
- Metal Screws (Medium 4 pcs., Large 4 pcs., XL 6 pcs.)
Tools
- Tape measure
- Level
- Pencil
- Hammer and slotted screwdriver (if removing door from hinges to install pet door)
- Scissors
- Masking or painter’s tape
- Drill
- 1/2-in (12-mm) drill bit
- 1/4-in (7-mm) drill bit
- Jigsaw (or keyhole saw) with appropriate blade for the material you will be cutting
- Phillips screwdriver
- Wire cutters
- Caulk
- Safety glasses
If the mounting surface (door, wall, etc.) is not level, the pet door must still be installed level to swing properly.
When applying the cutting template, there should be a minimum of 3 inches (8 centimetres) between the bottom and sides of the door and the outer edge of the template to maintain the structural integrity of the door.
Use a manual screwdriver to tighten screws. Do not overtighten. Overtightening can strip the screws or warp the pet door frame.
Step 1 Mark the Pet Door Location
- Measure and mark your pet’s shoulder height on the inside of the door where you will install the pet door (A).
- Using a level, draw a vertical line where you want the center/centre of the pet door to be located (B).
Step 2 Prepare the Door
- If possible, remove the door from its hinges (C) and place it on a raised level surface, such as two saw horses (D). The interior side of the door should face up. Make sure there is nothing underneath the door where you will cut the opening for the pet door.
- Cut out the correct size cutting template for your pet door. Tape the cutting template to the interior side of the door, matching the shoulder and center/centre lines on the template with the shoulder and center/centre lines you drew previously (E).
- Trace the outside edge of the cutting template, making sure to connect the corners. Remove the cutting template and any excess tape from the door.
Step 3 Cut the Pet Door Opening
- Drill 1/2-inch (12-millimetre) holes just inside the corners of the drawn template (F). These will be the pilot holes for the saw blade.
- Cut between the holes you just drilled, along the drawn template lines (G).
Step 4 Drill Holes for the Frame
- Place the interior frame (the frame with one flap) in the opening and mark the screw holes (four holes for the medium and large pet doors, six holes for the x-large pet door) (H).
- Remove the frame and drill 1/4-inch (7-millimetre) holes in the marked locations (I).
Step 5 Install the Pet Door
- Place the interior frame (the frame with one flap) in the opening on the interior side of the door (J).
- Place the exterior frame (the frame with two flaps) in the opening on the exterior side of the door.
- Insert screws through the holes in the interior and exterior frames and match screw sleeves to the end of each screw
- Tighten the screws until the frames come together and the screw sleeves are flush with the exterior frame.
- If using nylon screws, cut off the excess screw length with wire cutters and remove any rough edges with a metal file.
- For best weather resistance, caulk around the exterior frame and inside the threshold where the frames meet. If you removed your door from its hinges, rehang it now.
