2C
2A 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.
  NOTE: 
The pet door can be installed with the 
door hanging based on your skill level. 
2C Match the marked lines on the door with the 
shoulder and center lines on the template. Tape 
the template in place. 
NOTICE
When applying the template there should be a 
minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) between the bottom 
and sides of the door and the outer edge of the 
template to maintain the structural integrity of 
the door.

Cut Pet Door Opening
3A
3B
3A Leave template on and drill ⅜” (10 mm) holes 
in the inside corners of 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 template lines. After cutting out the 
opening, remove excess template. You may need 
to recut to square the opening. This is necessary 
for the pet door frame to fi t 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 use both 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.
NOTICE
Make  sure  there  is  nothing  underneath  the              
door where you will be drilling the holes or 
cutting out opening.
