Step

Cut Pet Door Opening

3A Drill ½” holes in inside corners of drawn template.

These will be the pilot holes for the saw blade.

Helpful Tip:

Use both hands to hold drill steady and

straight at a 90° angle.

3B Beginning in one of the holes just drilled, cut along

the drawn template lines. After cutting out the opening,

you may need to recut to square the opening. This is

necessary for the pet door frame to t correctly.

Helpful Tip:

Use proper saw blade length and type

according to door thickness and material (for example

a wood blade for a wood door and a metal blade for

a metal door). Cut slowly using both hands to hold

the saw steady and straight at a 90° angle. This will

prevent the blade from cutting unevenly between

interior and exterior sides of the door.

NOTICE

Make sure there is nothing underneath the door where

you will be drilling the holes or cutting out opening.

Fit Core Covers

4A Measure the thickness (T) of your door. Note this

measurement.

4B Cut the grooved side of the plastic core covers and

core cover supports to equal the thickness (T) of your

door + ⅞”.

4C Place cut edge of bottom core cover toward you

with ribbed side facing up. Snap left core cover

support into left end of “T”-shaped rib on bottom core

cover. Snap right core cover support into right end of

“T”-shaped rib on bottom core cover. With channel

sides facing in, align uncut edge (side with one rib)

of side core covers with uncut edge of core cover

supports. Slide channel of side core covers onto tab of

core cover supports to form a “U”-shape.

4D Slide weather strips into channels of side core

covers. Weather strips should face inside. Weather

strips may need trimming to meet at end of side core

covers.

4E Snap uncut edge (side with one rib) of

assembled core covers inside bottom and side tabs

of interior frame (frame with 2 aps). The bottom

core cover should be at bottom of interior frame.

Weather strips and ribbed sides (uncut edges)

should face ap. Snap the uncut edge (side with

one rib) of top core cover inside top tabs of interior

frame. Uncut edge (side with one rib) of top core

cover should face ap. Core covers may need

trimming to meet at corners.

Optional:

Use duct tape in the

corners of core covers to help secure

in place and to improve weather

resistance. Cut off any excess tape.

Step

Install Pet Door

Before putting away jigsaw, place the exterior frame (frame with 1 ap) into

the underside of the opening to check the t. If the screw holes on frame are not visible

through cut-out, you may need to recut opening before proceeding with the installation.

5A Place interior frame (frame with 2 aps)

into cut-out. Next place exterior frame into

cut-out from under side of door, inserting core

covers inside tabs of frame. Hold frame

together. Insert nylon screws through holes in

interior frame into holes in exterior frame.

Thread a hex nut onto bottom of each screw.

5B Start screws, but do not tighten at

this time. Place foam strip under interior frame for

additional insulation. Cut off any excess.

Helpful Tip:

Use a screwdriver to tuck the foam strip

under as you work around the frame.

5C Use a screwdriver to evenly tighten screws through-

out frame while keeping core covers in position. It may

be necessary to adjust screws to make sure pet door

t is correct.

Helpful Tip:

Look though ap opening to check if core

covers are in position as you tighten the screws.

5D Use wire cutters to trim screws ush with exterior

frame.

NOTICE

Use a manual screwdriver to tighten screws. Do not

overtighten. Overtightening can strip the screws or

warp the pet door frame.

Optional:

Caulk around the exterior frame (frame

with one ap) and inside threshold where core covers

meet for weather resistance.
