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.

Fit
Check Before putting away your jigsaw, place the interior frame (frame with flap and 4-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. With Exterior Frame in place, center interior frame into cut-out on door.
Mark screw hole locations on door. Remove both frames. Drill
holes for wood and
cut-out on door. Next, use a screwdriver to drive screws to attach frame to
door interior.
