Before you begin
It’s important to check whether your door contains a metal plate or thin metal foil before
fitting. This is because the presence of metal can eect the performance of the Pet Door.
When fitting into a metal door you’ll need to cut a bigger hole for the Pet Door to slot through.
Having a 20 - 30mm ( - 1”) gap between the tunnel of the Pet Door and the metal will lessen
the impact on the product’s performance. The step-by-step guide will explain how to do this.
Have you programmed all of your pets into the Pet Door? We advise you do this prior to
fitting. See page 13.
Using a jigsaw, cut around the inner edge of the line you marked.
Once the hole is cut, we recommend you choose the correct
length of screw to attach the Pet Door out of those provided. Do
this by measuring the length of the screw against the depth of
your door. The screw must be roughly 20mm ( inch) longer than
the depth of your door to hold the Pet Door in place.

When using power tools, please follow all safety instructions provided with the product.
To ensure your pet has unhindered access through the Pet
Door, measure the height of their tummy from the floor.
Mark this height on your metal door at the horizontal
centre of where you want to position your Pet Door.

Attach a ball of Blu tack (or similar adhesive putty) to each
rear corner of the external frame so that you can attach it to
the door and use it as a template.

We advise that there are two people present for this step; one
person inside the house and one outside. From inside the house,
put the tunnel through the hole in the door ensuring it is going
through the centre of the hole and not touching any edges.
Remember the SureFlap logo and LCD display must be inside
the house.

From the outside of the house, check that the tunnel is in the
centre of the hole and then take the second mounting adaptor
and slide it over the tunnel with the sealant facing the door. You
may need the person on the inside of the house to keep pressure
on the Pet Door to make sure it stays in place.

Next, slide the external frame over the tunnel. Using a cross
head screwdriver and the length of screw you’d chosen, secure
the external frame in place. Fasten the first screw until it is
secure, but not too tight, then do the same with the remaining
three. Once all four screws are secure, tighten them, but make
sure to alternate between screws as you go to ensure the
product is tightened evenly.

Now, insert the four screw caps,
noting that the groove needs to be
facing away from the tunnel.
Stick the frame to the door and use the mark you made for
the height of your pet’s stomach to align the bottom edge
of the hole. Use a spirit level to ensure the product is level,
then run a sharp pencil around the outside edge of the
frame.

Now mark your cutting line 10mm ( inch) inside the line
you just traced. Once complete, rub out the original traced
line if you can so that you don’t get confused.
4
Now it’s time to prepare for cutting. We strongly advise that
you drill pilot holes in the corners of the outline to make it
easier to cut the hole with a jigsaw. Make sure these holes are
touching the line and that they are big enough for the blade of
the jigsaw to fit through.
5
Apply a line of clear all-weather sealant to the back of both
mounting adaptors, about 15mm ( inch) from the edge. Make
sure your Pet Door is nearby and ready to be fitted. Place one of
the mounting adaptors (it doesn’t matter which) over the tunnel
of the Pet Door so that the patterned side with the ribs is facing
outwards and is not touching any surfaces.
