Single Flap Wall Mount

Step 1 Measure your Pet

If you have not yet measured your pet, watch this video to ensure the pet door will work.
If possible, remove the door from its hinges using a screwdriver and hammer to tap out the hinge pins. Lay the door flap for installation
Tape the provided template to the door. The top edge of the cut-out line should be at least 2" (3.2 cm) above the dog's shoulders
Be careful not to cut too close to the bottom of the door as your may reduce the door's strength
Level the top edge of the cut-out line

Step 2 Drill Holes

Once you are certain the pet door will work with your door, drill through the holes marked on the template with a 3/8" (9,5 mm) bit
Make sure your drill is kept level and drills all the way through the door

Step 3 Trace Template and Cut Door

Draw lines to connect the outsides of the holes using a straight edge and/or level, then cut along the line with a saw
If your door is less than 1 3/8" (3,5 cm) thick, see special instructions on pages 4 & 5

Step 4 Check Weather-Stripping

Ensure the weather-stripping is firmly pressed in the groove on both frames.

Step 5 Position Frames

Place the trim frame on the outside of the door and the flap frame on the inside
”Trim Frame” is exterior frame, “Flap Frame” is frame with flap & locking cover

Step 6 Select Screws & Insert

Select appropriate screws and insert into the pet door from the inside. Short screws for 1 3/8" (3,5 cm) thick doors Long Screws screws in doors 1 ¾" (4,4 cm) thick doors
Do not fully tighten screws until all four screws are inserted and the pet door is leveled

Step 7 Tighten Screws

Once the pet door is leveled, tighten the screws so that the weather-stripping compresses and the frames touch the door.
Do not over tighten.

Step 8 Insert Hole Plugs

Use the wooden end of a hammer, rubber mallet, or other non-metal tool to tap in the hole plugs.
You can also place a wood block on the hole plug and tap the block with a hammer.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Make sure that you double check the total thickness of the door as the single and double flap models fit different ranges. The single flap fits doors from ½” – 1 ¾” (1.3 cm – 4.4 cm) thick and the double flap fits doors 1 ¾” – 2 ¼” (4.4 cm – 5.7 cm) thick. If you are using the double flap and your door is less than 1 ¾” (4.4 cm), you will need to build out with shims or weather-stripping to get the door to at least 1 ¾” (4.4 cm) in thickness for a tight fit.

PANELED DOORS

The best way to install the pet door is to have it straddle the recessed area of one of the panels. Have the pet door sit on the flat area in the middle, side, and below the recessed panel. The frame will cross the recessed area on the top, so you will be left with a gap. The easiest way to fill this gap is to get battens or shims from a local hardware store, and cut them to fit. When that gap is mostly filled, caulk the remaining areas to seal the doggy door to the surface of the people door. If the space is very irregular you can also use a squishy foam weather stripping, which will compress down for a tight fit. When finished, use caulking to seal the door.
