Please read instructions & notes thoroughly before installation.
Step 1 Select Installation Location
- Select a screen for installation and remove the window or door screen from its frame.
Step 2 Prepare the Screen
- Lay the exterior side of the screen down on a flat, hard surface.
Step 3 Measure Your Pet
- Measure your pet from the floor to the top of their shoulder.
- The top of the frame should be installed 2” above your pet's shoulders. It is also recommended you install the door at least 2” away from the frame to protect the door.
Step 4 Position the Outside Frame
- Put the outside of the frame, with the magnet facing the bottom of the door, under the screen.
- Align the bottom and side edges with the outside of the frame.
- Use a sharp utility knife to cut horizontal slits in the screen at both top hinge groove locations (Fig. 1).
Step 5 Position the Inside Frame
- Place the flap assembly in the outside frame with the slide locks facing you. Do this by aligning both hinge posts at the top of the flap assembly with both hinge groove locations at the top of the frame.
- After, place the inside frame on top of the outside frame and align the cavities and posts (Fig. 2).
- Once aligned, use a mallet to carefully tap the frame together all around, sealing all gaps between the frames. This secures the flap assembly in place and holds the frames to the screen.
Step 6 Cut the Screen
- Hold the flap up and cut the screen around the inner portion of the door with a sharp utility knife (Fig. 3).
- Trim away any excess screen from the inside, as it prevents the flap assembly from swinging freely (Fig. 4).
Step 7 Re-install the Screen
- Reinstall the screen panel into window or door frame.

FAQ
What is the frame made of?This dog door is made of durable plastic. |
What is the flap made of?The pet door flap is made of a thin sheet of clear plastic. |
Do I have to attach this to the frame?No, this cat door installs directly through the screen material, making it an easy installation. |
Would this door be good for active pets?Since it is only held in place by the screen it is not as durable as the type that installs by screwing onto the frame. That is why we recommend that this be used as a smaller dog or cat flap for less active pets. |
What colors does it come in?These door models only come in a light grey, but as a great DIY project, you could easily paint the frame to your liking. |
Could this be installed through a thin metal plate?Since this is meant to be installed only through screen door or patio door, it wouldn't work if you tried to install it through other materials. |
Do I need to have a special screen?It is pretty lightweight, so it would be fine installing on virtually any type of screen. However, if you have the thicker pet screen or screen guard, you would need to make sure that you were able to get the pins all the way through so that is remains attached. |
What tools do I need to install it?You will need a sharp knife to be able to cut the screen and a rubber mallet to tap the frames together. |
How do I lock it?For your convenient use, at the bottom of the flap in each corner of the screen guard pet door, there are small pins that you can easily slide back and forth to close it off. |
Can bugs get in?For better quality to prevent this, the gap around the frame and the flap of the screen pet door is purposely very small, making it tough for bugs to get through. |
