3A Drill ½" (13 mm) 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 fit correctly.
Helpful Tip: Apply masking or painter's tape on bottom of
jigsaw and outer edges of drawn template to protect door
finish. Use a file to remove burrs after drilling and cutting
to make cutting and installation easier.
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.
Make sure there is nothing underneath the door where you will
be drilling the holes or cutting out opening.
4A Measure the thickest part (T) of your cut-out. Note
this measurement.
4B Cut the grooved side of the plastic core covers to
equal the cut-out thickness (T) of your door + ⅞"
(22 mm).
4C Snap uncut edge (side with one rib) of assembled
core covers inside bottom and side tabs of interior frame
(frame with 2 flaps). Core covers may need trimming to
meet at corners.
