Step 1 Make the Rough Cutout

  • Begin at least 3" from the bottom of the door, draw a horizontal line.
  • Find the center of the door and draw a vertical line crossing the horizontal line.
  • Use this centerpoint to cut a 23" x 26-1/4" high cutout.

Step 2 Prepare the Pet Door

  • The PetSafe Panel Pet Door Insert is partially assembly for shipping purposes and will need to be detached to get started.
  • When removing the screws, set them aside in a safe place to be used later.
  • This is a good time to decide the rise orientation. For a short pet, rotate the panel so the 8" rise is on the bottom. For taller pets, place the 10-1/2" rise on the bottom.
  • If you plan on painting the insert, we recommend doing it at this point prior to installation.
  • Make sure the butyl sealant tape is in place and mounted properly in the recessed edge of the exterior panel. Do not cover butyl sealant tape with primer or paint. Do not take butyl tape off until interior and exterior panels fit the door properly.

Step 3 Install the Panels

  • Install the interior panel on the inside of the door and the exterior panel on the outside of the door.
  • Remove butyl sealant tape at this time.
  • Use 25 M3.5 x 1.3 x 20 BT screws to connect the inteior and exterior panels.

Step 4 Attach T-Grooves

  • Take the bottom mount and slide the 2 magnets onto the bottom mount, one on each track.
  • Match and slide the T-grooves on bottom mount with T-guides on the bottom opening of the exterior panel insert, depending on the rise orientation.
  • Use 4 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws to complete this part of the install.

Step 5 Prepare Hinge Plate Assemblies

  • Prepare both hinge plate assemblies trapping the flap between the lower hinges.
  • Use 5 M3.5 x 1.3 x 10 BT screws to attach flap hinges for each hinge plate assembly.
  • Make sure the heads of the screws on the lower part of the hinge are facing inboard, to avoid seeing them when the assembly is installed.
  • Do not overtighten.

Step 6 Install Hinge Plate Assemblies

  • Install the first hinge plate assembly to the interior side of the dual-flap mount using 5 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws, then attach the interior cover plate with 2 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws.
  • Tighten the screws only enough to hold the hinge plate assemblies in place, as they will need to be tightened later when adjusting the flap.
  • Install the other hinge plate assembly to the exterior side of the dual-flap mount with the exterior cover plate at the same time using 5 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws.
  • Match and slide the T-grooves on dual-flap mount with the T-guides on the exterior panel insert.
  • Before installing the finishing plugs, adjust the flap height (should be just low enough that the bottom mount magnets jump slightly to catch the magnet on the flap.
  • Secure the fully assembled dual-flap mount to the exterior panel insert with 4 M3.5 x 1.3 x 16 BT screws. Finish tightening screws.

Step 7 Install Finishing Plugs

  • Install 40 finishing plugs into each screw hole.

Nice for Paneled Doors (Staff Review)

This is a great choice for installing a pet door in a paneled door. It's also a good option if you have a hole in your door left behind by an old pet door and want to cover up the damage and install a new flap at the same time.
