Using bolt cutters or hacksaw, cut outside marked cutting line. Remove grille. Note: Any rivets may have to be removed by drilling out. Fit PVC channel (provided) over cut grille edge. Undo two screws to disassemble packaged PETWAY® pet door. Remove bag containing screws and set aside.


Step 4.

While holding outer frame against grille, place inner frame of PETWAY® pet door in position ensuring spline channel in security door frame is exposed. Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two bottom screws provided. This will hold pet door frames in position. Do not over tighten screws. Gently spread the top section of frames apart and insert the flap with the word PETWAY® facing outside. Ensure the pet door stays aligned with the security door frame and does not cover security door frame spline channel. (Refer Figure 2.) Fit and tighten remaining screws. Do not over tighten screws.


Step 5.

Allow insect screening to drape back down, roll spline cord back into its original position. Using a sharp blade, cut the insect screening as shown, running the blade between the pet door flap and the frame.
(Refer Figure 2.) (Note: See back of brochure for photograph of installed unit)

See if your Fly Screen Door requires an adaptor L Bracket 

Installation if L Bracket is 'required'

 

TOOLS REQUIRED: Battery Drill with Phillips Screwdriver Bit, Stanley Knife or Blade Phillips Screwdriver, Roller Wheel (optional).

STEP 1. Lay the Petway® Pet Door on a clean, cloth covered flat surface with the word Petway® facing down. Undo four screws to disassemble packaged Petway® pet door. Remove bag containing screws and set aside. Remove provided spline from the pet door's back frame channel and set aside. Discard the clear plastic U channel (this is not required). Make sure the word Petway® on the flap is still facing down, screw the 2 frames together again, using all short screws provided. (IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten screws)

STEP 2. Join the 2 pieces of the bracket together to form an “L” shape. In the chosen bottom corner of the door frame, position the L Bracket close to, but not quite touching the insect screening. Make sure the longer leg of L Bracket is vertical. (Refer Figure 1) 14 holes are provided in the L Bracket to cater for left or right corner application. Using a battery drill with a Phillips screwdriver bit, screw the 7 screws (provided) into the holes closest to the insect screening. 4 screws in the vertical leg & 3 screws in the horizontal leg. IMPORTANT TIP: Gently push the battery drill against the insect screening to ensure screws go in straight. (Refer Figure 2)

STEP 3. Position the assembled pet door over the L Bracket, (Refer Figure 3) making sure spline cord channel is facing insect screening and the word PETWAY® on the flap is facing you. Firmly push the pet door down and then sideways onto the L Bracket. Clicking will be heard as the pet door slides into the correct position.

STEP 4. Now with the PETWAY® Pet Door securely in place, move to the opposite side of your insect screen door. Using a sharp blade, cut the insect screening as shown, running the blade between the pet door frame and the flap. (Refer Figure 4) Starting at the top corner, pre-crease the insect screening carefully into channel using a roller wheel. While supporting the pet door on the opposite side, slowly insert the spline cord (provided) into the spline channel, using a roller wheel. Use the sharp blade to trim off any excess spline cord and insect screening. Assembly is now complete. The raised rectangle pieces below the flap are sliding lock clips which are provided to keep your pet in or out (Refer Figure 5) Note: Lock clips are designed for light to moderate force on flap. PETWAY® cannot guarantee locks if excessive force is used.

The glass fitting Petway Pet Door is to be fitted by a professional Glazier. Existing Glass Sliding Doors and the Fixed Panels beside them are Toughened / Safety glass, which cannot be cut. This glass will need to be replaced.


HINT: Try to position circle cutout so the lowest point of the circle is approximately 40mm (1 ½ inch) below pet’s belly when in normal standing position


Note: When pet door is completely fitted the bottom edge of the flap opening will be 20mm (¾ inch) above the lowest point of the circle cut out.

 

Glass Panel

Step 1. Cut circle in glass at Small: 306mm (12") diameter | Medium: 381mm (15 1/16 inch) diameter.

Step 2. Remove Pet Lock-Out panel. (Rotate counter-clockwise) - set aside

Step 3. Remove Outer Ring and remove Screw Bag - Set aside.

Step 4. Unscrew top 2 screws. remove flap, re-screw top 2 screws.

Step 5. Apply a line/bead of clear silicone across the bottom edge of the glass circle rim cut out, approx. 50mm/2 inches in length. When cured, this will stop the pet door rotating when the Pet Lock-Out panel is engaged.

Step 6. Take note of where the locking teeth are located on both frames. Hold main frame on outside of glass with locking ring positioned on inside. Align locking teeth on both frames and squeeze gently together. Work your way slowly around all 6 sets (8 sets for medium size) of locking teeth until panels are firmly and evenly engaged.

Step 7. Unscrew top 2 screws, refit flap. Ensure the word PETWAY is facing outside. Screw all 12 screws (14 screws for medium size) in place.

Note: The Pet Lock-Out panel is an option to totally lock off pet door opening for your pet. The raised black rectangle pieces below the flap, on the inside & outside of the frames, are sliding lock clips, which slide up & down to lock & unlock the flap.

If it is necessary to take the Pet Door out of the glass - unscrew all 12 screws to disassemble, then rotate the frames.

Cut out Sizes  

Size Flap Opening (HxW) Overall Frame Size (HxW)  Cut Out Size (HxW)
Small  240mm x 190mm 332mm x 282mm 292mm x 242mm
Medium 305mm x 225mm 405mm x 315mm 367mm x 227mm
Large  400mm x 260mm 491mm x 354mm 457mm x 320mm



 

Note: Do you have a security screen door in front of your timber door? If you are considering fitting both doors with a Petway Pet Door, we recommend fitting the pet door into the security door first, to ensure you can accurately align both pet doors. We have designed our Petway Pet Doors to work together. One of these pet doors will need to have a soft flexible flap (sold separately here). Watch the installation video above to align both pet doors.

 

TOOLS REQUIRED: Tape measure, pencil, jigsaw with timber blade, drill, 10mm drill bit, vacuum, phillips screwdriver, soft cloth.

Step 1. Set up on inside of the closed timber door. Remove backing slide down panel (this is your template). Place pet door on a soft cloth, face down.

 

Step 2. Grip the pet door on top corners of inside frame only. Lift slightly off soft cloth. Place thumbs on top screw holes. (Refer FIGURE 1) Push down firmly with both thumbs. This will disengage the locking teeth and the two frames will spring!!! apart. Remove screw bags and screw all flat head screws provided into allocated screw holes and tighten. Do not over tighten screws.

 

Step 3. Fit provided gasket as shown →

 

Step 4. Tip: Edge of template must be no closer than 35mm from the side and bottom edges of the timber door. (Refer FIGURE 2) The positioning of your pet door may vary depending on your pet’s breed (some pets have longer legs than others). The ideal position is for the bottom edge of pet door opening to be approximately 25mm below the tummy of your pet in normal standing position. Place slide down panel (template) on timber door at appropriate height and mark out rectangle. Be sure to keep template aligned/parallel with timber door edge.

 

Step 5. Drill a 10mm hole on the four corners of the marked rectangle. Using jigsaw, cut on marked cutting line. (Refer FIGURE 3) Remove waste and vacuum area.

 

Step 6. Important Pre-Assembly Tip: When squeezing frames together, squeeze until just firm (not all the way). Align the pet door first, then squeeze again firmly to lock into position. To do this, while sitting inside, reach through the cut out, hold and align the outer frame (with flap) in position. Place inner frame in position on the inside of timber door and simply squeeze together, making sure the pet door is in the correct position. Also ensure the two frames are evenly compressed all the way around. (Refer FIGURE 4) Fit the six Dome Head screws (provided) into the inner side-wall holes of the pet door frame to secure (Refer FIGURE 4). Assembly is now complete. Use the Slide Down Backing Panel to lock the pet door, to keep your pet in or out
