Door Installation
The Portal Door is secured with one screw on the hinge side, and one screw on the door
stop side. The Door is in the closed position when the paw is facing down, inversely, the paw
is facing up when the Door is in the open position. See FIGURE 2.30 and FIGURE 2.31
FIGURE 2.30 - Door Closed Position
FIGURE 2.31 - Door Open Position
See FIGURE 1.2 to help identify each piece of hardware used for the door installation.
It is important to install all hardware in the correct order for the Door to operate
correctly. Do NOT over-tighten screws, damage to the components could occur. Refer
to the parts list (FIGURE 1.2) for hardware assembly order. The short Nylon Spacers are
used for the Kat Portal and the long Nylon Spacers are used for the Puppy Portal.
STEP 1:
Use one (1) of the Phillips screws, one (1)
Flat Washer, the Wave Washer, and one
(1) Nylon Standoff Spacer to secure the
hinge side of Door. See FIGURE 2.32
STEP 2:
Tighten the Hinge Screw just tight
enough to provide tension on the Door.
Rotate the Door to the open position
to ensure free movement, yet the Door
Hinge Screw should be tight enough to
hold the door in any position.
