Cut Pet Door Opening
3A Drill ½” holes in inside corners of drawn template.
These will be the pilot holes for the saw blade.
Helpful Tip:
Use both hands to hold drill steady and
straight at a 90° angle.
3B Beginning in one of the holes just drilled, cut along
the drawn template lines. After cutting out the opening,
you may need to recut to square the opening. This is
necessary for the pet door frame to fit correctly.
Helpful Tip:
Use proper saw blade length and type
according to door thickness and material (for example
a wood blade for a wood door and a metal blade for
a metal door). Cut slowly using both hands to hold
the saw steady and straight at a 90° angle. This will
prevent the blade from cutting unevenly between
interior and exterior sides of the door.
NOTICE
Make sure there is nothing underneath the door
where you will be drilling the holes or cutting
out opening.
Fit Core Covers
4A Measure the thickness (T) of your door. Note this
measurement.
4B Cut the grooved side of the plastic core covers to
equal the thickness (T) of your door + ⅞”.
4C Snap uncut edge (side with one rib) of assembled
core covers inside bottom and side tabs of interior
frame (frame with 2 flaps). Core covers may need
trimming to meet at corners.
Optional
Optional:
Use duct tape in the
corners of core covers to help secure
in place and to improve weather
resistance. Cut off any excess tape.
