Important Safety Information
Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that
follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.
• When children are present in the home, it is important to consider the pet door while child proofing. The pet door may be misused
potentially giving children access to hazards that may be on the other side of the pet door. Owners with swimming pools should
ensure that children are monitored at all times and that the swimming pool has adequate barriers to entry. If a new hazard is created
inside or outside of your home, which may be accessed through the pet door, Radio Systems Corporation™recommends that you
properly guard access to the hazard or remove the pet door. The closing panel or lock, if applicable, is provided for esthetic and
energy eciency purposes and is not intended as a security device. Radio Systems Corporation™will not be liable for unintended use,
and the owner of this product accepts full responsibility for oversight of the opening it creates.
• To avoid risk of severe injury, follow all safety instructions for your power tools, and wear safety goggles during use.
• The user, prior to installation, must become familiar with all building codes that may aect the installation of the pet door and
determine, along with a licensed contractor, its suitability in a given installation. This pet door is not a fire door. It is important for the
owner and contractor to consider any risks that may be present inside or outside of the pet door and any risks that may be created by
subsequent changes to the property and how they may relate to the existence and use, including misuse, of the pet door.
• Be sure to use heavy scissors for cutting the core covers. If cutting a metal surface, be aware of sharp edges to prevent injury.
• It is not possible to cut holes in tempered or double pane glass except at the time of manufacture. Consult a professional glazier or
glass manufacturer to install the pet door in a glass door or window.
• Keep these instructions, and ensure they are transferred to any new owner of the property.
• If the mounting surface (door, wall, etc.) is not level, the pet door must still be installed level to swing properly.
• When applying cutting template there should be a minimum of 3 in. between the bottom and sides of the door and the outer edge
of the template to maintain the structural integrity of the door.
• Use a manual screwdriver to tighten screws. Do not overtighten. Overtightening can strip the screws or warp the pet door frame.

Installing Your Pet Door
NOTICE
If painting the pet door, it is recommended to paint it prior to the pet door being installed.
For best results, use a primer for plastics before applying your paint.
Step 1
Determine Pet Door Location
1A Measure and mark your pet’s shoulder height on the interior side
of door.
1B Determine location for the pet door. Draw a vertical center line
through the shoulder height line using a level.
Step 2
Prepare Door
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 Cut out the correct template size. Match the marked lines
on the door with the shoulder and center lines on the template.
Tape the template in place and carefully trace template. Make
sure to trace underneath tape and connect the corners. Now,
remove the template and any excess tape from the door.

NOTICE
If homeowner’s door or other application is not level,

Step 3
Cut Pet Door Opening
3A Drill 3/8” holes in inside corners of drawn 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 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: 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.
Step 4
Fit Plastic Core Covers
4A Measure the thickness (T) of your door. Note
this measurement.
4B Cut the grooved side of the plastic core covers to equal the
thickness (T) of your door + 7/8”.
4C Place side of core covers with one rib (uncut edge) facing
inside and snap into tabs of interior frame (frame with flap).
Also, core covers may need to be trimmed to meet at corners.
Optional: Use duct tape in the corners of core covers to help
secure in place and to improve weather resistance. Cut o any
excess tape.

NOTICE
Make sure there is nothing underneath the door where
you will be drilling the holes or cutting out opening.

Step 5
Install Pet Door
Before putting away the jigsaw, place the interior
frame (frame with the flap) inside the cut out and check the
fit. Then, place the exterior frame into the underside of the
door to check the fit. If frames do not fit inside the opening,
you may need to recut to square opening before proceeding
with installation.
Helpful Tip: Tape the flap up to keep it out of the
way during the installation.
5A Place interior frame (frame with flap) into
cutout. Next place exterior frame into cutout from
underside of door, aligning core covers into tabs of
frame. Hold frame together with one hand.
5B Drop nylon screws through holes in frame then thread hex nut
to bottom of each screw. While continuing to hold frames, tighten
screws until frames come together.
Optional: Caulk around the exterior frame (frame without the
flap) and inside threshold where core covers meet for weather
resistance.
5C Use a screwdriver to evenly tighten screws throughout frame
while keeping core covers in position. It may be necessary to adjust
screws to make sure pet door fit is correct.
5D Cut o excess screws length with wire cutters. Hold wire cutters
flush with frame for a clean, level cut.
Step 6
Training Pet
6A Rehang your door and begin training your pet. Tape the flap open
to help your pet become familiar with the opening.
Helpful Tip: Try treats to encourage your pet to go through the pet
door and become comfortable using it.
