This means that on the bottom and one side of your pet door you will have two pieces of screen spline: 
One in the people door track (black spline at top of picture below) and one in the pet door track (light gray 
spline at bottom of picture below) with a narrow strip of screen fabric between them. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: When installing the spline in the corner of the pet door 
unit, it may be necessary to cut a small diagonal slit up into 
the screen material in order to relieve the tension on the 

screen fabric and allow it to be pulled down into the spline 
frame track.  NOTE:  Be careful not to cut too far into your 
screen fabric or you will have a hole at the corner of your pet 
door.   

Step 17:  Cut away any excess screen spline with a razor blade 
or scissors.  Cut away the excess screen material with a razor 

blade being careful not to cut into the screen spline or the 
finish of the pet door.  If you are installing a stabilizer bar (see 
next section), leave some excess screen material at this time.  
You can trim it later after installing the stabilizer bar kit.   

Step 18:  Re-install the screen door or 

screen window. 
 
 
 

 

Step 19:  After re-installing the screen into a vertical position, adjust the magnets 
in the pet door upward or downward if needed. The magnets are pressure fitted 
and can be adjusted downward by tapping lightly with the handle of your 
screwdriver.  They can be 
adjusted upward by twisting 
a flat headed screwdriver 
below the magnet between 
the magnet and frame.  Be 
sure to adjust the magnets 

upward from the inside of the door so as not to mar 
the outer door finish.
