Draw a vertical center line through the shoulder height line using a level.2. Preparing Door2A 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.2C Cut out the correct template size. Match the marked lines on the door with the shoulder and center lines on the template. Tape the template in place and carefully trace template. Make sure to trace underneath tape and connect the corners. Now, remove the template and any excess tape from the door.3. Cut Pet Door Opening3A 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 useboth 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.4. Mark & Drill Holes For FrameBefore 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.

Use pliers to slowly and steadily bend down small sections across frame at grooved line. Go across the frame again in the same direction working the excess frame into a 90º angle. Next go back across frame in the opposite direction to slowly break off the excess.5B Place interior frame (frame with the flap) in cutout. Next place exterior frame into cutout from underside of the door. Hold frame pieces together with one hand.5C Drop nylon screws through holes in frame and match screw sleeve to bottom side of each screw. Pull up screw to position screw sleeve flush into exterior frame. While continuing to hold frames, tighten screws until frames come together.5D Use a screwdriver to evenly tighten screws throughout frame. It may be necessary to adjust screws to make sure pet door fit is correct.5E Cut off excess screw length with wire cutters. Hold wire cutters flush with frame for a clean, level cut.Helpful Tip: Any rough edges of nylon screws left by wire cutters can be removed with a metal file.6.
