Product Details
The PetSafe Pet Screen Door is designed to accommodate small dogs and cats, making it an ideal choice for multi-pet homes or older pets that share access with smaller companions.
Made for easy installation on mesh screen doors, sliding screen doors, and window screens, the PetSafe Pet Screen Door features a high-impact gray plastic frame that seamlessly blends with most screen mesh. The puncture and tear-resistant mesh screen ensures durability, while the lightweight flap material makes it easy for pets to push open.
The lockable flap provides added security and control, allowing you to limit your pet's access when needed. This pet screen door is perfect for those residing in mild climates, as it is not well-insulated and works best in comfortable temperatures.

Although some may encounter screen wear and tear with constant use, the overall durability and functionality of this pet screen door make it a valuable investment for pet-loving households.
With the PetSafe Pet Screen Door, grant your pets the freedom to explore the outdoors, take potty breaks, or play outside without your assistance. Experience a more relaxed, stress-free home environment for both you and your pets by opting for this easy-to-use, budget-friendly solution.

Step 1 Determine Pet Door Location
- Measure and mark your pet’s shoulder height on the outside of the screen door with a felt tip marker.
- Determine the location for the pet door.
- Measure 2½" up from shoulder height line and draw a horizontal line using a level. This will be the position of the top edge of the pet door.
- Check to make sure there is room for the frame to fit in the screen area when the top edge of the frame is aligned with the line.
Step 2 Position the Template
- Remove the screen door by removing the door hinge pins or by removing screws that hold the door to the hinge.
- Place on a raised level surface such as a work bench or a board on saw horses.
- Place the marked side of door facing up.
Step 3 Cut the Opening
- Separate the Interior Frame from the Exterior Frame.
- Place the Interior Frame (with flap) on the underside of the screen door.
- Reference the mark made from the pets shoulder height (In step 1). Align the top edge of the Pet Screen Door Interior Frame with the line drawn 2½" above the shoulder height line.
- Use center groove on the Pet Screen Door for a metal screen and inner groove for a vinyl coated fiber screen.
- Mark the cutout with a felt tip marker. Using the frame as a guide carefully cut the screen using a utility knife.
Step 4 Install the Pet Door
- After cutting the opening in the screen, place the Exterior Frame on top of the Interior Frame.
- Use a rubber mallet and tap the two frames together until fully seated. Make sure you have a solid surface under the door to support it while the frames are assembled.
- Use a Phillips screwdriver to screw the two frames together using the six included flat-head screws.
- Place the screen door back on the hinges.
