In Glass
NOTE: It is not possible to cut holes in toughened glass or double glazed
units except at the time of manufacture. Please consult a glazier.
The cat door requires a circular cut-out with a diameter of 8 ¼" (210 mm).
For best results you should refer your glazier to the enclosed cutting template.
In Walls
Follow the instructions for "Wood and PVC/uPVC/Metal", by using the enclosed cutting template.
Please note that additional tools, materials and competent DIY skills may be required.

3A. Drill ½" (13 mm) holes in inside corners of drawn template.
Helpful Tip: Use both hands to hold drill steady and straight at a
90° angle.
3B. Beginning in one of the holes just drilled, cut along the drawn
template lines. After cutting out the opening, you may need to
recut to square the opening. This is necessary for the pet door
frame to fit correctly.
Helpful Tip: Apply masking or painter's tape on bottom of jigsaw
and outer edges of drawn template to protect door finish. Use a
file to remove burrs after drilling and cutting to make cutting and
installation easier.
Helpful Tip: Use proper saw blade length and type according to
door thickness and material (for example a wood blade for a
wood door and a metal blade for a metal door). Cut slowly using
both hands to hold the saw steady and straight at a 90° angle.
This will help prevent the blade from cutting unevenly between
interior and exterior sides of the door.
