4E Snap uncut edge (side with one rib) of assembled core
covers inside bottom and side tabs of interior frame (frame
with 2 flaps). The bottom core cover should be at bottom
of interior frame. Weather strips and ribbed sides (uncut
edges) should face flap. Snap the uncut edge (side with
one rib) of top core cover inside top tabs of interior frame.
Uncut edge (side with one rib) of top core cover should face
flap. Core covers may need trimming to meet at corners.
Optional: Use duct tape in the
Optional
corners of core covers to help secure
in place and to improve weather
resistance. Cut off any excess tape.
5A Place interior frame (frame with 2 flaps) into
cut-out. Next place exterior frame into
cut-out from under side of door, inserting core
covers inside tabs of frame. Hold frame
together. Insert nylon screws through holes in
interior frame into holes in exterior frame. Thread
a hex nut onto bottom of each screw.
Helpful Tip: Use saw horses, table or other work surface to
hold exterior frame in position while installing pet door.
Helpful Tip: Look through screw holes to help align interior
and exterior frames.
5B Place foam strip under interior frame for additional
insulation. Cut off any excess.
Helpful Tip: Use a screwdriver to tuck the foam strip under
as you work around the frame.
5C Use a screwdriver to evenly tighten screws through-
out frame while keeping core covers in position. It may be
necessary to adjust screws to make sure pet door fit
is correct.
Helpful Tip: Look though flap opening to check if core
covers are in position as you tighten the screws.
5D Use wire cutters to trim screws flush with exterior
frame.
NOTICE
Use a manual screwdriver to tighten screws. Do not
overtighten. Overtightening can strip the screws or
warp the pet door frame.

one flap) and inside threshold where core covers meet for
weather resistance.

Train Your Pet

Closing Panel

6A Rehang your door and begin training your pet. It may
help for you to be on one side of the door and your pet on
the other. Lift or tape open flap and try to talk your pet
through the pet door. After your pet has gone through a few
times, allow the flap to touch your pet's back so they will
become comfortable using the pet door. If your pet will not
go through the door, tape the flap open until they use it on
their own.
Helpful Tip: Try treats or toys to encourage your pet to
go through the pet door and become comfortable using it.
The closing panel snaps onto the interior frame of the
Extreme Weather Pet Door™. It is useful during inclement
weather or to keep your pet from using the pet door.
To use the closing panel, hold side handles and first slide
bottom into place. Then push next to handles to snap sides
of closing panel into slots on interior frame. To remove,
hold side handles while pushing center of closing panel with
thumbs.
An additional closing panel (sold separately) can be used on
the exterior frame of the Extreme Weather Pet Door™ for
improved weather resistance. See "Replacement Parts and
Accessories" on page 11.
