Parts

  • Sash Window Pet Door

Tools

  • Flathead Screwdriver

Please read instructions & notes thoroughly before installation.

Step 1 Release Spring Mechanism

  • Release the automatic width adjustment locks by loosening the screws with a screwdriver. This allows the spring mechanism to move freely from side to side.

Step 2 Check Panel Fit

  • Insert the sash into the window track. Push against the spring mechanism and swing the opposite end into the opposite window track. Gently release.

Step 3 Apply Weatherstripping

  • Remove panel from window track.
  • Apply any optional foam weather-stripping by peeling back the paper and exposing the adhesive. Unroll it along the edge of the sash, pressing to ensure it adheres. Install on both the top and the bottom. Trim to fit with scissors.

Step 4 Insert Sash Panel

  • Put the panel back into the window track. Tighten width adjustment locks with a flathead screwdriver.

LOCKING YOUR WINDOW

For a permanent lock, install a wood screw in the track immediately above the window on both sides. You will no longer be able to raise the window. For a temporary lock, place a removable wooden dowel or Charley bar in either track above the window, shown in Detail 1.

HEIGHT OF YOUR WINDOW

Make sure you place steps or ramps leading to your pet’s door at a height that works! When they go through the flap, the top of the flap should be at least 1" (2,5 cm) higher than the top of their back. Watch your pet and adjust as needed to keep them comfortable.
