Leave template on and drill 10 mm (3/8") holes in the inside
corners of template. These will be the pilot holes for the saw
blade (Fig. 3A).
Helpful Tip: Use both hands to hold drill steady and
straight at a 90° angle.
Helpful Tip: Before cutting flap opening, apply painter's
or masking tape on jigsaw blade guide and along outer
edges of drawn template to help protect door surface from
marks and scratches during cutting.
Beginning in one of the holes you just drilled, cut along the
template lines. After cutting out the opening, remove excess
template. You may need to recut to square the opening. This
is necessary for the pet door frame to fit correctly (Fig. 3B).
Helpful Tip: Use a proper saw blade according to door
material (for example a wood blade for wood door and
metal blade for a metal door). When cutting use both hands
to hold the saw slow, steady and straight at a 90° angle.
This will prevent the blade from cutting unevenly between
interior and exterior areas of door.
Make sure there is nothing on the other side
of the door where you will be drilling the
holes or cutting out opening.
