Step 3

Cut Cat Door Opening

3A. Drill ½" (13mm) holes in inside corners of drawn template.
Helpful Tip: Use both hands to hold drill steady and straight at
a 90° angle.
3B. Beginning in one of the holes just drilled, cut along the drawn
template lines. After cutting out the opening, you may need to
recut to square the opening. This is necessary for the pet door
frame to fit correctly.
Helpful Tip: Apply masking or painter's tape on bottom of
jigsaw and outer edges of drawn template to protect door
finish. Use a file to remove burrs after drilling and cutting to
make cutting and installation easier.
Helpful Tip: Use proper saw blade length and type according
to door thickness and material (for example a wood blade for a
wood door and a metal blade for a metal door). Cut slowly using
both hands to hold the saw steady and straight at a 90° angle.
This will help prevent the blade from cutting unevenly between
the 2 sides of the door.
Make sure there is nothing underneath the door where
you will be drilling the holes or cutting out opening.
Step 4

Install Cat Door

Before putting away your jigsaw, place the interior frame (frame with flap and
2-way lock) inside the cut-out and check the fit. Then place the exterior frame into the
underside of the cut-out to check the fit. If the frames do not fit inside the opening, you
may need to recut opening before proceeding with installation.
4A. Center interior frame into cut-out on door. Mark screw hole
locations on door. Remove interior frame. Drill
holes for wood and
frame back onto cut-out on door. Next, use a screwdriver to
drive screws to attach frame to door interior.
