Optional:
Depending if your door is 1” thick
or less, break away core frames of the interior and
exterior frames. Use pliers to slowly and steadily
bend down small sections across frame at grooved
line. Go across the frame again in the same direction
working the excess frame into a 90º angle. Next go
back across frame in the opposite direction to slowly
break off the excess.
5B
Place interior frame
(frame with the flap)
in
cutout. Next place exterior frame into cutout from
underside of the door. Hold frame pieces together
with one hand.
5C
Drop nylon screws through holes in frame and
match screw sleeve to bottom side of each screw. Pull
up screw to position screw sleeve flush into exte
-
rior frame. 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 frames meet for weather resistance.
5D
Use a screwdriver to evenly tighten screws
throughout frame. It may be necessary to adjust
screws to make sure pet door fit is correct.
5E
Cut off excess screw length with wire cutters. Hold
wire cutters flush with frame for a clean, level cut.
Helpful Tip:
Any rough edges of nylon screws left by
wire cutters can be removed with a metal file.
IMPORTANT
Use a manual screwdriver to tighten the
screws. Do not overtighten. Overtightening
can strip the thread off the screws or bow pet
door frame.
