OPTIONAL:
If the door cut-out thickness
(T)
is
25 mm or more, insert the screw guides into the
screw holes on the backside of the internal
frame (frame with flap and 4-way locks)
(
Fig. 11
)
. The screw guides help guide the
screws through the screw holes from the internal
frame to the external frame.
Place external frame
(with assembled
tunnel if needed for your installation) into
cut-out. Next, place internal frame into cut-out
aligning with external frame. Insert binder
posts into screw holes in external frame from
back of door
(
Fig. 12
)
. Hold binder post in
place and insert appropriate length screw into
screw holes in internal frame.
Helpful Tip:
Look through screw
holes to help align internal and
external frames.
Use a screwdriver to evenly tighten
screws throughout frame
(
Fig. 13
)
.
After tightening screws, check to make
sure flap swings freely and moves back
to the center to meet magnet on bottom
of internal frame. It may be necessary
to adjust screws to make sure frames
cover cut-out and the flap swings freely.

Fitting your pet door
Your PetSafe
®
pet door is fitted with the red 4-way locks on
the inside of your house.
Before installing the pet door, you need to determine which screw length
is needed for your installation. Depending on your door thickness, the
screws may need to be trimmed with a hacksaw or screw cutter. If the
screws are too long, the blanking plugs will not fit. Use the “Screw
Selection Guide” (
Chart 2
) to select which screw to use and if it needs to
be trimmed for your installation.
To trim screw, insert binder post onto end
of screw to protect thread. Using the
binder post as a guide, cut screw to
correct length with a hacksaw or screw
cutter
(
Fig. 10
)
. After cutting to length,
remove the binder post to clean screw
threads. Repeat process with
remaining screws.
