Installing Your Pet Door
NOTICE
If painting the pet door, it is recommended to paint it prior to the pet door being installed.
For best results, use a primer for plastics before applying your paint.
Step 1
Determine Pet Door Location
1A Measure and mark your pet’s shoulder height on the interior side
of door.
1B Determine location for the pet door. Draw a vertical center line
through the shoulder height line using a level.
Step 2
Prepare Door
2A Remove door from hinges.
2B Place on a raised level surface such as saw horses.
Helpful Tip: Clamp or weigh down the door to prevent it
from moving.
Note:
The Pet Door can be installed with the door hanging
based on your skill level.
2C Cut out the correct template size. Match the marked lines
on the door with the shoulder and center lines on the template.
Tape the template in place and carefully trace template. Make
sure to trace underneath tape and connect the corners. Now,
remove the template and any excess tape from the door.
