- Installation template
- Magnador pet door
- 4 corner screws
- Mounting screws
Tools
- Masking tape
- Pencil
- Drill
- 1/8” drill bit
- Jigsaw
- Caulking
- Screwdriver
Step 1 Position the Template
- Check the installation location to make sure there is nothing that will obstruct the flap’s ability to swing freely.
- Set the height of the pet door opening according to the shoulder height of your tallest pet. Make sure the pet door will be installed on a flat surface.
- With masking tape, place the template against its exact installation location.
Step 2 Mark the Screw Positions
- Mark the screw positions and the four corners on the template with a pencil.
- Draw a line to connect all 4 corner marks.
Step 3 Make the Rough Cutout
- Drill four, 3/8" holes INSIDE of each corner of the cut-out area. Use a jigsaw to cut along the marked line which connects the four corners.
- Using the 1/8” bit, drill ¾” deep holes at each location marked from the template. Do not drill completely through the mounting area yet. These are “pilot” holes.
Step 4 Test-Fit the Door
- The Rain Hood should be on the outside for maximum weather protection. Again, check that the door panel will swing freely through the cut-out area.
- Remove the 4 corner screws from the test fit, then remove the pet door from the mounting surface to apply a bead of caulk on the back surface of the door. The caulk should be between the raised lines.
Step 5 Attach the Frames
- Re-install the Magnador by loosely twisting in the corner screws.
- Press against the mounting surface to flatten the caulk to provide a tight weather seal.
- Install the remaining mounting screws, but do not tighten.
- Check again for an unobstructed swing of the hinged door panel.
- Tighten the mounting screws.
- Tighten the remaining screws evenly to apply sufficient pressure on the caulk.

FAQ
Can I install this in a wall or kennel?Yes. If you install this into a wall, make sure to seal the inside and sides of the wall to prevent moisture from entering. This door does not come in sliding panels. |
Does this keep the cold and heat out?This would not be the best door for keeping the heat or cold out. If you want something more insulating, we recommend the weatherproof Endura Flap. |
Is the flap chew-proof?It is chew resistant, but not quite chew-proof. To train your pets not to chew on the flap, we recommend rubbing a bit of vaseline and cayenne pepper on the flap. |
What door thicknesses will this fit on?You can install this on doors of any thickness because there is only 1 frame, as long as you properly frame out the openings. You can make the installation a close fit using caulk or a sealant. |
Why is there no outside frame to this doggie door?This is designed to be installed in any location at an affordable price. You can frame out the door yourself with wood or similar material for a more aesthetic look. |
What colors does this come in?This comes in white and bronze (very dark brown). |
Will a cat be able to open this door?It depends on what size you get and how determined your cat is, but we have heard of cats and small dogs having some trouble with the Magnador Pet Poor in size large, as it has heavy-duty magnets that are hard to push open. If you are concerned about keeping your cat in, we would recommend a electronic pet door instead. |
Does this have a locking cover?No, but there is a lock on the frame of the flap to prevent entry or exit. There are small locking knobs that you can position to lock the flap when needed. |
Where can I get a replacement flap?Check out our full selection of replacement parts. |
Can I use a soft flap with this pet door?Unfortunately, there is no soft flap replacement for the Magnador Kennel Door. |
Can I interchange the magnets on this door from standard to heavy-duty?It is possible, however, given the delicacy of the frame and installation method, changing the magnets between the two could be difficult and cause damage to the frame. |
Is this a good for extra-large dog door in people doors?The largest flap is 13" x 19", so it may not be the best if you have multiple dogs in different sizes sharing the same door. |
I'm looking for a tough, weatherproof dog door. Is this what you would recommend?This door is primarily for dog kennels and might not stand up to hard use like a heavy use large door would. We recommend the Hale Brand or the Endura Brand for great doors with sturdy construction, design built for constant use, and permanent magnets for tight seals. |
