Step 1 Choose Pet Door Placement

  • Before installation, choose where to place the pet door. The pet door can be placed in the left, center or right side of the door.
  • If there are door panels in the door, align and install your pet door with a panel for easiest installation.

Step 2 Mark Pet Height

  • It is important to measure the placement on the door specifically for your pet’s height. If there are multiple pets, measure to the largest pet.
  • Mark the shoulder height of your pet with a pencil on the chosen door side.
  • Use a level to draw a vertical line through the shoulder height line.

Step 3 Prepare Door

  • Remove the door from hinges using the flat-head screwdriver and hammer.
  • Place the door on a raised level surface, such as a pair of saw horses.

Step 4 Prepare Cutout Template

  • Cut the template to the correct size according to the pet door.
  • Match the marked lines on the door with the shoulder and center lines on the template.

Step 5 Outline Template

  • Make sure the template is at least three inches from the bottom and sides of the door.
  • Tape the template to the door and trace the template completely. Make sure to trace under the tape to connect the corners.

Step 6 Cut the Opening

  • Drill 3/8 inch holes on the inside corners of the drawn template. Hold the drill steady and straight.
  • Place the jigsaw blade into a corner hole, making sure the blade goes entirely through the door, and cut along the drawn template lines.
  • Continue until an opening is made.

Step 7 Check Frame Fit

  • Place the interior frame into the opening to check the fit.
  • Place the exterior frame under the door while holding the interior frame with one hand.

Step 8 Drill Holes

  • With only the interior frame in the opening, mark the door through the screw holes along the side of the frame.
  • Remove the interior frame and drill ¼ inch holes through the door.

Step 9 Position Frames

  • Place the interior frame with the flap into the cutout on top of the door.
  • Place the exterior frame into the cutout from beneath the door. Ensure the exterior frame fits into the interior frame.
  • Hold both frames in place for the rest of the steps.

Step 10 Insert Screws

  • Insert the nylon screws into the holes in the frame.
  • Make sure the screws go through both frames.
  • Caulk around the exterior frame and inside where the frames meet for extra weatherproofing.

Step 11 Install Hex Nuts

  • Twist the hex nuts on the bottom of each screw. Pull the screw up until the hex nut is flush with the exterior frame.
  • Tighten the screws until a small part of each screw remains on the top of the frame.

Step 12 Tighten Screws

  • Tighten each screw evenly throughout the frame until snug.
  • Overtightening the screws can cause the screw to strip or can bow the frame of the pet door.
  • Cut off the excess screw using wire cutters. A metal file can be used to smooth any rough edges of the screw.

Well made

I bought two doors. I installed the regular one on the door from the kitchen to the garage and an 'extreme weather' between the garage and outside. Hired professionals to install. There was no way I could unmount the house doors from hinges and then use the template. But the guys were strong enough and got both done in about an hour.

Good upgrade

We replaced our old plastic frame pet door with this aluminum model. It’s worth twice the price. The locking door slides down inside of snapping on, And that’s good because our dogs figured out how to take the snap-on version off. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the sliding lock door cracked when my 54-pound dog tried to run through it the first week it was installed. I had to replace that part for $28. I also put decals on the locking slide-down door so the dogs can better see that it’s not time to go outside.

Works as expected, not too difficult to install

The dog door (XL) works as expected and wasn't as hard to install as some have mentioned. I chose to buy stainless steel bolts to use rather than the plastic bolts that were provided. I've had it for only two months so I can't vouch for its longevity in the harsh summer heat of the San Fernando Valley (CA). Time will tell.

Well made

I bought two doors. I installed the regular one on the door from the kitchen to the garage and an 'extreme weather' between the garage and outside. Hired professionals to install. There was no way I could unmount the house doors from hinges and then use the template. But the guys were strong enough and got both done in about an hour.

works as advertised

Door was fairly easy to install and works as advertised. Cats need some training to use it.

Good upgrade

We replaced our old plastic frame pet door with this aluminum model. It’s worth twice the price. The locking door slides down inside of snapping on, And that’s good because our dogs figured out how to take the snap-on version off. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the sliding lock door cracked when my 54-pound dog tried to run through it the first week it was installed. I had to replace that part for $28. I also put decals on the locking slide-down door so the dogs can better see that it’s not time to go outside.

Works as expected, not too difficult to install

The dog door (XL) works as expected and wasn't as hard to install as some have mentioned. I chose to buy stainless steel bolts to use rather than the plastic bolts that were provided. I've had it for only two months so I can't vouch for its longevity in the harsh summer heat of the San Fernando Valley (CA). Time will tell.
