Pet doors may increase the risk associated with unwanted pets or intruders. We will not be liable
for any damage or injury that may be caused as a result of the installation.
Children:
For child safety we do not recommend that the door be installed in any area where a child could
have access to an unfenced or unprotected swimming pool or pond.

through the pet door prior to Installation.
DOOR FLAP REMOVAL
In the event that you need to remove the door flap/s from your pet door, follow the instructions
below and refer to the images on page 3.
D9: Remove the two screws at the top of the flap, un-clip the top of the flap by pulling out and
upward. The flap is now loose and may be taken out. Installation is the opposite to removal.
Make sure the flap 'clips' in securely ( as illustrated in Figure D9
PC12: Please read the PC12 operating instruction manual for detailed instructions.
PC13: Using a small flat head screw driver release the door hinge whilst gently pulling the door
out of the frame. You will be able to lift the door out of the other hinge socket. To install a door,
insert one hinge into it's socket and depress the other hinge as you push it into the frame in
order for it to spring into it's socket. (
as illustrated in Figure PC13

INSTALLATION STEPS:

STEP 1. Chose the area that best suits your installation.
STEP 2. Mark out the preferred area (
as illustrated in Figure 1
The recommended height should be to have the top of the pet door opening (flap) level
with the shoulder height of your pet (
Take outside measurement of the inner frame of the door and add another ¼" (4-5 mm)
to both width and height. This will provide sufficient installation clearance.
For PC12 you may need to make allowance for cables. (
for details ).
STEP 3. Once you have marked up the cut-out measurement, draw a line around the perimeter
using a pencil ( as illustrated in Figure
Drill a hole in each of the four inside corners using a minimum of 3/8' (10mm) drill bit
( as illustrated in Figure 3 ).
Using a reciprocating jigsaw, proceed to cut out the opening for the pet door by cutting
along the pencil line ( as illustrated in Figure 4
For walls cut out the internal opening first. Remove any insulation and place the door
into the opening. Ensure the door is level then mark the hole from the inside and
proceed to drill holes from the inside of the door through to the outside.
This will help prevent any misalignment with the outside wall. Depending upon the
location of the opening it may require lining with timber to provide additional support
for the door. Do not clamp the door against plasterboard only.
STEP 4. Once the hole is fully prepared, take the internal section of the door and place a
generous bead of construction silicon around the parameter of the frame leg (
illustrated in Figure 5 ).
Now place a generous bead of silicon on the walls around the cut out to provide a
weather seal ( as illustrated in Figure 6
STEP 5. Now insert the inner and outer frame into the cut out and clamp tightly together using
builders clamps. ( as illustrated in Figure 7 & 8
Double check that the frames are level.
STEP 6. Next attach both the inner and outer frames together using screws or pop rivets
provided. Pre drill holes for rivets with a 1/8" (3 mm) drill and ensure that they are
evenly distributed. ( as illustrated in Figure 9 & 10
STEP 7. Next place an additional silicon bead around the frame of the door to provide a
nice neat finish and also around the internal joint in the internal pet door frame. (
illustrated in Figure 11 & 12 ).
