Single Flap Wall Mount
Step 1 Measure your Pet

Step 2 Check Wall For Wires/Pipes
- Mark the centers of the four holes using a pencil or nail. Remove the template
- Drill a small hole in the middle to peek into the wall to check for wires/pipes. If you’re clear, move on to the next step to drill through the marked holes.

Special Wall Situations
If your wall is over 8” (20,3 cm) thickness,the included tunnel will not be long enough. Your contractor can install the pet door in thicker walls by fabricating a custom tunnel. This can be done by using plywood, sheet metal, brick, or stone to line the cut out. One frame would be attached to the inside of the house and one frame to the outside. The provided template + instructions might not be accurate in a custom installation. Different hardware* will be required depending on what you are using for the tunnel and how you are mounting the frames to the wall. In all cases it is extremely important to make sure that the tunnel is sealed with silicone or caulking to prevent any damage from water leaking into the wall.
Wall Siding: You can choose to place the pet door on top of the siding. If you choose this option then you will need to make sure to take care of completely caulking and sealing any gaps that you have to prevent water damage to the wall.
You can also recess the pet door frame into the siding. In this case you would make the recommended rough opening according to the template. Then on the exterior you would cut away the siding only to frame the outside dimension of the pet door. Also be sure to properly caulk and seal around the frame. Some people choose to build a frame to surround the pet door, if you do this, you’ll have to take the same precautions with sealing the wall to prevent water damage.
Alternative Rough Cut Method
This method can be easier in some cases than trying to go through both walls with one pass.
- Step 1: Drill through the interior wall and draw lines connecting the outside part of the holes.
- Step 2: Use a hand saw or reciprocating saw to cut out the inside sheet rock along the drawn line.
- Step 3: Remove any insulation to expose the back of the exterior wall. Measuring very carefully and making sure all is level drill holes from the inside of exterior wall to the outside.
- Step 4: Tape off the inside opening with a trash bag. This will prevent the dust and debris from going all over and makes clean up much easier.
- Step 5: Make a mark from the inner side of the drilled holes on the exterior wall. It is a good idea to measure and level your outline from the outside, to ensure your hole will be the correct size.
- Step 6: Use the pilot holes and a circular saw (use a concrete blade if you have concrete or stucco exterior) to cut out the exterior. Place a piece of cardboard under the saw to prevent it from damaging the exterior.
- Step 7: Finish the opening with a reciprocating saw and if possible have a spotter inside.

FAQ
I want to get the large pet door for my dog, but I am concerned about a person fitting through an x-large door. All Endura Flap Pet Doors come with a locking cover. This cover can be used to keep your pet inside by blocking access to the doggie door. It also can be used to keep intruders from entering your home. It is made from a special polymer that is as strong as 16 gauge steel. If you need to, you can purchase additional Endura Flap locking covers.We also have a product called the Watchdog Steel Security Pet Door Cover that provides maximum security for any pet door, complete with a combination lock and all.

Can a large dog & cat use the same double flap door flaps? We recommend cats use the Endura Flap Cat Doors for Walls. Our Endura Flap wall mount pet door has a strong magnetic seal which may be too strong for a cat. However, if you have cats and dogs sharing a door, you can decrease the magnetic resistance of the threshold on large and extra large sizes making it easier for a cat to use. For small or medium pet doors you can offset the magnets slightly which can also decrease the magnetic strength. |
I have a small and large dog sharing this door. Will my small dog be able to open the flaps on the extra large double flap dog door? It depends on the tenacity of your small dog. With the Endura flap door for walls you can decrease the magnetic resistance of the threshold on large and extra large sizes making it easier for your small dog to use. You will also want to make sure the door is mounted low enough for the small talk to walk through and high enough to clear the large dog's back. |

Is a single flap enough for extreme winter weather? A single Endura Flap on an exterior door is extremely energy-efficient and capable of withstanding winds up to 50 mph.

Does the door sound very loud when the dog goes in or out? When the flap gets to its resting place there is a snapping sound when the magnets employ. This sound let's you know the door is doing its job sealing out the elements and keeping your heated or cooled air inside. |
I do not have to contend with wind or rain, if I buy the single flap version of the wall dog door is it possible to add the second flap in the future?

Why is there a difference in flap size for the single versus the double flap models? Since each flap dual walled making them 7/8" thick as the pet pushes through the first flap will actually hit the second flap.

Special Wall Situations
If your wall is over 8” (20,3 cm) thickness,the included tunnel will not be long enough. Your contractor can install the pet door in thicker walls by fabricating a custom tunnel. This can be done by using plywood, sheet metal, brick, or stone to line the cut out. One frame would be attached to the inside of the house and one frame to the outside. The provided template + instructions might not be accurate in a custom installation. Different hardware* will be required depending on what you are using for the tunnel and how you are mounting the frames to the wall. In all cases it is extremely important to make sure that the tunnel is sealed with silicone or caulking to prevent any damage from water leaking into the wall.
Wall Siding: You can choose to place the pet door on top of the siding. If you choose this option then you will need to make sure to take care of completely caulking and sealing any gaps that you have to prevent water damage to the wall.
You can also recess the pet door frame into the siding. In this case you would make the recommended rough opening according to the template. Then on the exterior you would cut away the siding only to frame the outside dimension of the pet door. Also be sure to properly caulk and seal around the frame. Some people choose to build a frame to surround the pet door, if you do this, you’ll have to take the same precautions with sealing the wall to prevent water damage.
Alternative Rough Cut Method
This method can be easier in some cases than trying to go through both walls with one pass.
- Step 1: Drill through the interior wall and draw lines connecting the outside part of the holes.
- Step 2: Use a hand saw or reciprocating saw to cut out the inside sheet rock along the drawn line.
- Step 3: Remove any insulation to expose the back of the exterior wall. Measuring very carefully and making sure all is level drill holes from the inside of exterior wall to the outside.
- Step 4: Tape off the inside opening with a trash bag. This will prevent the dust and debris from going all over and makes clean up much easier.
- Step 5: Make a mark from the inner side of the drilled holes on the exterior wall. It is a good idea to measure and level your outline from the outside, to ensure your hole will be the correct size.
- Step 6: Use the pilot holes and a circular saw (use a concrete blade if you have concrete or stucco exterior) to cut out the exterior. Place a piece of cardboard under the saw to prevent it from damaging the exterior.
- Step 7: Finish the opening with a reciprocating saw and if possible have a spotter inside.
