Installation

What is pet door installation?

Pet Door Installation involves fitting a specialized door insert or panel into an existing door or wall, allowing pets to enter or exit the house independently.

Why should I consider installing a pet door?

Installing a pet door provides convenience for both you and your furry friend, as it allows them to access the outdoors whenever they need to go out or come back in.

How do I install Adaptor?

Adaptors do require tools for installation. The height of the adaptor needs to cut so it fits into your sliding door channel. Then secure the adaptor into the pet door insert with 3 screws and also fix the pet door insert into your sliding door by placing just one screw, either through existing hole where female locking was.

Transfer both glass and screen door female locks onto adaptor so you can then lock both of your doors onto adaptor.

Full Instructions are provided with adaptor purchase or you can head to our Installation page for more information.
