Step 1 Seperate Frames
- After removing the pet door from box, separate the two door frames and remove the die cut “Inside Template”.
Step 2 Find Where to Install
- Using a stud finder, locate wall studs and position inside template as close as possible to center of wall studs (wall studs are typically 16” apart, center-to-center). Measure your pet from floor to shoulder and add 2”.
- Transfer and mark this measurement to the inside wall at the desired placement for your pet door and align top of the “Inside Template” to this mark. Level the “Inside Template” and tape in place
Step 3 Trace Template
- With a felt tipped marker, draw a line all around the inner edges of the “Inside Template” and mark the four 3/8” diameter corner starter holes at each corner then drill the 3/8” diameter corner starter holes at each corner. Remove the template when completed.
Step 4 Cut Inside Wall Opening
- Next, making sure the electric saw is flat and level against the wall, carefully cut out the inside wall opening using the appropriate blade.
- When completed, remove the cutout drywall and any interior wall insulation
Step 5 Place Inside Door Half

FAQ
|
My Ruff Weather has a label of 10-1/2" x 17" on it. Which flap size should I order? You should order the XL Ruff Weather Replacement Flap (which is marked as 9-3/4" now, although the actual dimension of the flap did not change). |
|
Would small pets sharing with larger pets have an issue with the double flaps? No, the Ideal Ruff Weather Dog Door and Wall Mount Kit is easy for smaller pets to push open even with the double flaps since it only has magnets on the bottom. |
|
What is the tunnel made of? It is very durable plastic. However, we would recommend putting some framing in the cut out to support it on the bottom, especially in the extra-large and super large sizes. |
|
What is the flap made of? The flap is a clear flexible vinyl, 1/8" thick. |
|
How far does the frame stick out? The frame is pretty bulky, more than most doors, and it sticks out about 2 1/2" from the wall. |
|
Is this the same as the Ideal Ruff Weather Dog Door and Wall Kit Combination? They are exactly the same in size, but the flaps on the Designer are tinted and the frame is grey as opposed to the clear flaps and cream color frame on the old style. |
|
Is this easy to install? If you are very handy, it could be a good DIY solo pet door installation. Otherwise, we recommend hiring a licensed pro for all wall installations. |
|
What is the maximum wall thickness for the Ideal Pet Products Ruff Weather Pet Door with Telescoping Frame? The maximum wall thickness is 7 1/4". |
