ASSEMBLY DIMENSIONS
petWALK pet doors are available in two different sizes:
The model "Medium" has a passage dimension of 200 mm width and 300 mm in height and is
suitable for cats and small dogs.
The model "Large" is suitable for larger dogs with a shoulder height up to 60cm and has an
opening width of 300 mm width and 500 mm height.
The shoulder width and breast height of your pet
determine the minimum opening width. The abdominal
height is the measure of the maximum height, the shoulder
width is the distance from shoulder to shoulder, the chest
height is defined as the distance from withers to lower
breast and abdominal height is the distance from the floor
to the lower breast.
If several animals of different sizes shall use the door, the
largest animal will determine the size of the model, the
belly height of the smallest animal is crucial for the
positioning of the petWALK pet door.
Using the petWALK pet door is most comfortable for your
pet when it can pass easily without bending down or
climbing up. This will be achieved when the upper edge of
the door lies above the withers and the lower edge is
positioned just above the ground.
When using an implanted RFID Chip it is absolutely necessary to place the door leaf at eye level
of the smallest animal.
For the correct installation of a petWALK
pet door the aperture for your chosen
model has to be as precise as possible.
The dimensions of the aperture are 38cm ±
1cm x 53cm ± 1cm for the model "Medium".
For model "Large" the aperture must have
a size of 48cm ± 1cm x 73cm ± 1cm.
It must be ensured that at least 30mm
space up to a bound of the component is
available round the aperture so that the
frame of the petWALK pet door can be to
glazing mounted easily.
When installing in glass, the distance to
the outer edge of the element should be at
least 7,5cm, ideally it should be 10cm in
each direction.
