Step 5
Install Pet Door
Before putting away the jigsaw, place the interior frame (frame with the flap) inside the
cut out and check the fit. Then, place the exterior frame into the underside of the door to check
the fit. If frames do not fit inside the opening, you may need to recut to square opening before
proceeding with installation.
Helpful Tip: Tape the flap up to keep it out of the way during the installation.
5A. Place interior frame (frame with flap) into cutout.
Next place exterior frame into cutout from
underside of door, aligning core covers into tabs
of frame. Hold frame together with one hand.
5B. Drop nylon screws through holes in frame then
thread hex nut to bottom of each screw. While
continuing to hold frames, tighten screws until
frames come together.
Optional:
Caulk around the exterior frame
(frame without the flap) and inside threshold
where core covers meet for weather resistance.
5C. Use a screwdriver to evenly tighten screws throughout frame
while keeping core covers in position. It may be necessary to
adjust screws to make sure pet door fit is correct.
5D. Cut off excess screws length with wire cutters. Hold wire
cutters flush with frame for a clean, level cut.
Step 6
Train Your Pet
6A. Rehang your door and begin training your pet. Tape the flap open
to help your pet become familiar with the opening.
Helpful Tip: Try treats to encourage your pet to go through the pet
door and become comfortable using it.
Use a manual screwdriver to tighten the
screws. Do not overtighten. Overtightening
can strip the thread off the screws or bow
the pet door frame.
