Step 1 Make the Rough Cutout
- Begin at least 3" from the bottom of the door, draw a horizontal line.
- Find the center of the door and draw a vertical line crossing the horizontal line.
- Use this centerpoint to cut a 23" x 26-1/4" high cutout.
Step 2 Prepare the Pet Door
- The PetSafe Panel Pet Door Insert is partially assembly for shipping purposes and will need to be detached to get started.
- When removing the screws, set them aside in a safe place to be used later.
- This is a good time to decide the rise orientation. For a short pet, rotate the panel so the 8" rise is on the bottom. For taller pets, place the 10-1/2" rise on the bottom.
- If you plan on painting the insert, we recommend doing it at this point prior to installation.
Step 3 Install the Panels
- Install the interior panel on the inside of the door and the exterior panel on the outside of the door.
- Remove butyl sealant tape at this time.
- Use 25 M3.5 x 1.3 x 20 BT screws to connect the inteior and exterior panels.
Step 4 Attach T-Grooves
- Take the bottom mount and slide the 2 magnets onto the bottom mount, one on each track.
- Match and slide the T-grooves on bottom mount with T-guides on the bottom opening of the exterior panel insert, depending on the rise orientation.
- Use 4 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws to complete this part of the install.
Step 5 Prepare Hinge Plate Assemblies
- Prepare both hinge plate assemblies trapping the flap between the lower hinges.
- Use 5 M3.5 x 1.3 x 10 BT screws to attach flap hinges for each hinge plate assembly.
- Make sure the heads of the screws on the lower part of the hinge are facing inboard, to avoid seeing them when the assembly is installed.
Step 6 Install Hinge Plate Assemblies
- Install the first hinge plate assembly to the interior side of the dual-flap mount using 5 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws, then attach the interior cover plate with 2 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws.
- Tighten the screws only enough to hold the hinge plate assemblies in place, as they will need to be tightened later when adjusting the flap.
- Install the other hinge plate assembly to the exterior side of the dual-flap mount with the exterior cover plate at the same time using 5 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws.
- Match and slide the T-grooves on dual-flap mount with the T-guides on the exterior panel insert.
- Before installing the finishing plugs, adjust the flap height (should be just low enough that the bottom mount magnets jump slightly to catch the magnet on the flap.
- Secure the fully assembled dual-flap mount to the exterior panel insert with 4 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws. Finish tightening screws.
Step 7 Install Finishing Plugs
- Install 40 finishing plugs into each screw hole.
