Your Step-by-Step Pet Door Installation Guide

Step 1: Remove the Spline Cord

You can install your new pet door while your security door is still attached to its frame. Using pointy nose pliers, remove the spline cord from the bottom corner of the security door, below the handle, taking out approximately 500mm in both directions from corner. Peel back insect screening to give clear access to the grille.

Step 2: Mark Where to Position the Pet Door

Make sure the pet door is at the right height for your pet to get in and out. To do this, use a measuring tape to measure 300mm in height and 250mm in width from the innermost edge of the door frame. Mark with marker pen.

Step 3: Cut out the Opening

Put on safety glasses, a dust mask and ear muffs. Using bolt cutters or a hacksaw, cut outside the marked cutting line. Remove grille. Note: Any rivets may have to be removed by drilling out. Fit PVC channel (provided) over the cut grille edge. Undo two screws to disassemble your packaged PETWAY® pet door. Remove bag containing screws and set aside.

Step 4: Fit Your Pet Door into the Frame

While holding the outer frame against the grille, place the inner frame of the pet door in position, ensuring the spline channel in your security door frame is exposed. Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two bottom screws provided. This will hold the pet door frames in position. Do not over-tighten the screws.

Gently spread the top section of the frames apart and insert the flap with the word PETWAY® facing outside. Ensure the pet door stays aligned with the security door frame and does not cover security door frame spline channel. Fit and tighten remaining screws. Do not over tighten screws.

Step 5: Cut the Screening

Allow insect screening to drape back down, roll spline cord back into its original position. Using a sharp blade, cut the insect screening as shown, running the blade between the pet door flap and the frame.

Step 6: Trim Any Excess

Starting at the top corner, pre-crease insect screening into the channel, then run the spline cord (provided) into the pet door spline channel. Using a sharp blade, trim off any excess spline cord and insect screening.

Step 7: Train Your Pet to Use the Door

Assembly is now complete! Now, all you need to do is train your pet to use their new door and you will enjoy security in your home, without having to leave your door open or let your pet in and out all of the time.
