Frequently Asked Questions
Is installing a pet door in my door easy?
Installing a pet door in a door is much easier than installing through a wall, but it will require cutting a hole in your door. See our pet door for doors installation pages for more details. See our installation guide to learn about other installation options.
What’s the difference between a door mount and a wall mount?
You can read about the difference between a Door Mount and a Wall Mount here.
Where can I install the door mount pet door?
You can install the Endura Flap Door Mount in solid-core doors, hollow-core doors, metal doors, and storm doors. For doors more than 1-¾” thick for the single flap, or 2-¼” thick for the double flap, you will need a Wall Mount like the Endura Flap Pro Series.
Can I install the pet door on an uneven surface?
Yes, the Endura Flap Door Mount can be installed on uneven surfaces. You will just need to fill any gaps between the pet door frame and recessed surfaces with caulking to maintain insulation.
What is the difference between the regular Endura Flap and the Endura Flap for Kennels?
The Endura Flap for Kennels is a stripped-down version of the Endura Flap that only includes its essential components, which can be preferable for anyone installing the Endura Flap in bulk.
What size hole will I need to cut into my door to install a pet door?
See the “Rough Cut Out” column of the size chart on the Single Flap Door Mount or Double Flap Door Mount pages to find the dimensions of the hole you will cut in your door.
Cutout size will depend on flap size. See this flap size reference chart for more details.
What if I want to close the pet door at night?
Every Endura Flap Pet Door comes with a Locking Cover to block access to the flap when needed. For extra protection, you can install the Watchdog Security Dog Cover.
Are there Endura replacement flaps available?
Yes, we carry Replacement Endura Flaps. See our full selection of Pet Door Replacement Parts and Accessories for more replacement options.
Why is there a difference in flap size for the single and double flap models?
As your dog walks through the double flap, the first flap hits the second one. Since each flap is ⅞” thick, the combined thickness of the two flaps takes up some space, accounting for a loss of about 1” of space at the top as they enter or exit.
Can cats and dogs share this door?
Yes, cats and dogs can share this door. However, we do not recommend flap sizes larger than the Small for cats, since these flaps are so insulating and heavy-duty.
If you need a larger flap size for your dog, you can adjust the magnet strength so that your cat can use the door too. Keep in mind that this will reduce the wind resistance of the flap.
If you have a very large dog but want a door for your cat as well, you might consider installing another Endura Flap for Your Cat with a small flap size.
Can I install this into a glass surface?
Not directly, but we work with other manufacturers so that we can offer a version of the Endura Flap pet door that is built directly into the glass of your door. Check out the Utah Pet Access door.
