Cut Pet Door Opening; Fit Plastic Core Covers - Petsafe PPA00-10958 Manual De Instalación

Step 3

Cut Pet Door Opening

3A. Drill ⅜" 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 you just drilled, cut along the drawn
template lines. After cutting out the opening, you may need to
recut to square opening. This is necessary for the pet door frame
to fit correctly.
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.
Step 4

Fit Plastic Core Covers

4A. Measure the thickness (T) of your door. Note this measurement.
4B. Cut the grooved side of the plastic core covers to equal the
thickness (T) of your door + ⅞".
4C. Place side of core covers with one rib (uncut edge) facing
inside and snap into tabs of interior frame (frame with flap).
Also, core covers may need to be trimmed 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.
