Step

Interior Wall Cut-Out

1. Locate the site for the Wall Entry Aluminum Pet Door.

2. Locate the studs in the proposed area.

3. Locate the center between the two studs. Using a pencil, draw a 5" vertical line on center about 10" to 12" above the ﬂ oor (1A).

Note: Check for electrical and plumbing ﬁ xtures that could be in the wall where you wish to place the Pet Door.

4. Mark the shoulder height of your pet on the vertical line. Draw a horizontal line through your mark (1B).

5. Place the template against the wall; align the lines on the template with the lines on the wall. Tape in place. Check that the template is square (1C, 1D).

6. Carefully trace the template with a pencil (1E). Remove the template from the wall.

7. Take a moment to review the hole location to ensure that the template is level and that this is the best possible location for the Pet Door.

9. Drill out the four corners of the rectangular hole with a 5/16" drill bit (1F).

10. Carefully cut the hole out using a jigsaw or other appropriate cutting device (1G).

Note: Cut on line.

11. Using the A side of the Pet Door, check the ﬁ t (1H). Do not force ﬁ t if it is tight. If the hole is too small, simply remove the Pet Door and re-cut or ﬁ le the hole slightly to enlarge (1I). Do not cut more than 1/8" from your previous cut.

12. Once the Pet Door properly goes into the hole, adjust to ensure the unit is square.

Step

3. Place A side of Pet Door back into wall and use the drywall screws to hold unit in place temporarily (2C).

4. Lift the ﬂ ap and push the Center Locator until it is touching the outside wall.

5. Make sure all the folded ﬂ aps are resting ﬂ ush on the inside of tunnel and that you have not completely pushed Center Locator out of Pet Door.

6. Mark the holes on the Center Locator (2D).

7. Remove the Pet Door from the inside wall.

8. Drill out the marked holes with your 5/16" drill bit. Be careful to keep these holes as straight as possible.

9. You are now ready to work from the outside wall. Line up the three holes on the template with the three holes that you just drilled. Check for square and tape in position.

10. Repeat the instructions for cutting the hole.

Note: If you are going through vinyl siding it is best to carefully score and cut the siding before cutting through plywood.

Optional Support Installation

1. Measure from the inside of outer wall to the inside of inner wall as shown (3A).

2. Cut a 2X4 to the measured length, making sure that the cut is square.

3. Remove any debris that may be inside the wall where the support will be located.

4. Place support inside wall so that the top of support is ﬂ ush with the bottom of cut-outs.

Note: Make sure the support ﬁ ts snug and that it is not too long or too short. In either instance,

damage to the wall can occur.

5. Use 2 drywall screws (supplied) or 2 wood screws (optional) to fasten the inner side of support as shown. Check again to make sure that the support is ﬂ ush with bottom of cut-outs (3B).

Step

6. Use the 2 drywall screws (supplied) or 2 wood screws

(optional) to fasten the outer portion of the support (3C).

Note: If placing screws into vinyl siding it may be necessary to drill a hole through the siding slightly larger than the heads of the screws. This will allow the screws to tighten ﬂ ush with plywood and not buckle the vinyl siding.

Pet Door Installation

1. Using the holes left by the drywall screws on the A side of Pet Door as pilot holes, drill a 1/2" hole for the toggle bolts (4A).

2. Install the Toggle Bolts into the A side of the Pet Door as shown (4B).

3. Place the A side of the Pet Door back into the cut hole and tighten the bolts (4C). Tip 1: You may need to start the toggle bolt into the hole. Tip 2: Sometimes you need to hold the screw out so the toggle is locked while you tighten the screw until the toggle is tight enough that it will hold itself in place while you ﬁ nish tightening. Be careful not to overtighten.

1/2"

4. Y

ou are now ready to work from the outside wall. With B side in position, mark location of 4

toggle bolt holes. Remove B side of the Pet Door. Drill marked locations with 1/2" drill bit.

5. Install the toggle bolts into the B side.

Note: If installing in a vinyl siding application, you may want to place closed cell foam and/or silicone caulk between the Pet Door ﬂ ange and the siding (sold separately in the PetSafe® Universal Pet Door Install Kit).

7. Slide the B side of the Pet Door into the A side that is already installed on

the inside. The unit will slide together just like it was in the package (4D).

8. Inspect the unit for a snug ﬁ t and any gaps that could cause a draft or water penetration. Either tighten the ﬁ t or use closed cell foam and/or silicone caulk in these areas.

9. Enjoy your new Wall Entry Aluminum Pet Door from PetSafe®.

____________________________________________ Training

Bring your pet to the Pet Door. Temporarily tape both ﬂ aps up and try to talk your pet into going through. Sometimes it helps for you to be on one side of the door and your pet on the other. You may try persuading your pet through the door using a small piece of food or a treat. If your pet will not go through the door do not force him through the door, simply wait for your pet to go through on his own.
