Cut Pet Door Opening
3B
3A
3A Drill ⅜” 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 you just drilled, cut
along the drawn template lines. After cutting out
the opening, you may need to recut to square
opening. This is necessary for the pet door frame to
fit correctly.
Helpful Tip:
Use a proper saw blade according to door
material (for example a wood blade for wood door
and metal blade for a metal door). When cutting use
both hands to hold the saw slow, steady and straight
at a 90° angle. This will prevent the blade from
cutting unevenly between interior and exterior areas
of door.
IMPORTANT
Make sure there is nothing underneath the
door where you will be drilling the holes or
cutting out opening.
Mark & Drill Holes For Frame
Before putting away the jigsaw, place the interior frame (frame with the flap)
inside the cut out and check the fit. Then, place the exterior frame into the underside of
the door to check the fit. If frames do not fit inside the opening, you may need to recut to
square opening before proceeding with installation.
