Step 2 Preparing Door
2A

2C
2A Remove door from hinges.
2B Place on a raised level surface such as
saw horses.
Helpful Tip: Clamp or weigh down the door to
prevent it from moving.
NOTE: The pet door can be installed with the
door hanging based on your skill level.
2C Match the marked lines on the door with the
shoulder and center lines on the template. Tape
the template in place.
NOTICE
When applying the template there should be a
minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) between the bottom
and sides of the door and the outer edge of the
template to maintain the structural integrity of
the door.
Step 3 Cut Pet Door Opening

3A Leave template on and drill ⅜” (10 mm) holes
in the inside corners of 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 template lines. After cutting out the
opening, remove excess template. You may need
to recut to square the opening. This is necessary
for the pet door frame to fi t 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.
NOTICE
Make sure there is nothing underneath the
door where you will be drilling the holes or
cutting out opening.
