Most pet doors include a template for placement.
How to install a dog door in a window. Here are a few key things to keep in mind when installing a dog door in a door. Place the template in the desired location on the door at least 3 inches above the bottom edge of the door. Next you ll need to secure the doggie door to the exterior door by attaching the screws into the predrilled holes. Start in one corner and cut along the outline you made with the template.
If your pet door doesn t include a template use the plastic slide as a template. Before installing a pet door it s important to consider the optimal location for your home. Cut the opening for the dog door with a hand saw. Make sure it sits flush against the door.
Cut out the template as instructed. Make your own pet flap to fit in a window. Place the inner frame of the pet door into the cut opening and then attach the other frame the other side of the door pushing them together until they meet snugly. Tape the template in place.
The ideal sash door for windows. The dog door should be installed in a door that is accessible by your pet ideally in a door near their main living area. From outside the house insert the side with no flap into the outer frame of the dog door.
