Installation in Screen Doors

Step 1

Determine Pet Door Location

1A. Measure and mark your pet's shoulder height on the outside of the screen
door with a felt tip marker.
1B. Determine the location for the pet door. Measure 2½" up from shoulder
height line and draw a horizontal line using a level. This will be the position
of the top edge of the pet door. Check to make sure there is room for the
frame to fit in the screen area when the top edge of the frame is aligned
with the line.
Step 2

Prepare Door

2A. Remove the screen door by removing the
door hinge pins or by removing screws that
hold the door to the hinge.
2B. Place on a raised level surface such as a
work bench or a board on saw horses. Place
the marked side of door facing up.
Step 3

Cut Pet Door Opening

3A. Separate the Interior Frame from the
Exterior Frame.
3B. Place the Interior Frame (with flap) on the
underside of the screen door.
3C. Reference the mark made from the pets
shoulder height (In step 1). Align the top
edge of the Pet Screen Door Interior Frame
with the line drawn 2½" above the shoulder
height line.
3D. Use center groove on the Pet Screen Door for
a metal screen and inner groove for a vinyl
coated fiber screen.
3E. Mark the cutout with a felt tip marker. Using
the frame as a guide carefully cut the screen
using a utility knife.
Make sure you protect
the surface underneath
the door where you will
be cutting.
If homeowner's door or other application is
not level, the pet door must be marked level to
swing properly.
