Cut Pet Door Opening
3B
3A
3A Drill ½” holes in inside corners of drawn template.
These will be the pilot holes for the saw blade.
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 t correctly.
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
prevent the blade from cutting unevenly between
interior and exterior sides of the door.
NOTICE
Make sure there is nothing underneath the door where
you will be drilling the holes or cutting out opening.
