Install Pet Door
Before putting away jigsaw, place the exterior frame (frame with 1 flap)
into the underside of the opening to check the fit. If the screw holes on frame are not
visible through cut-out, you may need to recut opening before proceeding with the
installation.
5A Place interior frame (frame with 2 flaps) into
cut-out. Next place exterior frame into cut-out from
under side of door, inserting core covers inside tabs
of frame. Hold frame together. Insert nylon screws
through holes in interior frame into holes in exterior
frame. Thread a hex nut onto bottom of each screw.
Helpful Tip:
Use saw horses, table or other work
surface to hold exterior frame in position while
installing pet door.
Helpful Tip:
Look through screw holes to help align
interior and exterior frames.
5B Use a screwdriver to evenly tighten screws
through-out frame while keeping core covers in
position. It may be necessary to adjust screws to
make sure pet door fit is correct.
Helpful Tip:
Look though flap opening to check if core
covers are in position as you tighten the screws.
5C Use wire cutters to trim screws flush with exterior
frame.
NOTICE
Use a manual screwdriver to tighten screws.
Do not overtighten. Overtightening can strip the
screws or warp the pet door frame.
Optional:
Caulk around the exterior frame (frame
with one flap) and inside threshold where core covers
meet for weather resistance.
