Parts

  • 1 Replacement Flap
  • 3 Retainer Rings
  • 8 Hole Plugs*

Tools

  • Magnetic Phillips head #2 screwdriver
  • Flat head screwdriver
  • Drill

*Replacement flaps come with two sets of hole plugs, but you will only need to use one on your flap. For your door, use the set of 8 large hole plugs and discard the set of 4 smaller hole plugs.

Step 1 Remove the Hole Plugs

  • Remove the four hole plugs from the frame.
  • You can drill a hole in each plug and wiggle the plug out with a screwdriver to pull them off.

Step 2 Unscrew the Frame

  • Next unscrew the frame and remove the whole assembly from the glass unit.
  • If needed, you may need to cut through the tape around the inside frame in order to release it from the glass unit.

Step 3 Remove Retainer Ring

  • Now that the assembly that holds the flap is removed from the glass unit, look for a metal rod at the top of the frame that holds the flap.
  • Remove a retainer ring from one end of the flap rod by forcing the ring off with a flathead screwdriver.

Step 4 Remove the Rod

  • Once you have removed a retainer ring from one end of the flap rod, you can push the rod through the flap frame until it comes out on the other side.
  • Pull the rod out and remove the flap.

Step 5 Expand the Bellows

  • Gently pull on the bellows (accordion-like sides of the flap) to expand them.
  • If needed, use a blow dryer to lightly heat the sides of the new flap and stretch them out to ensure a better seal.

Step 6 Check the Magnets

  • Before installing your new flap you should check to make sure that the magnets in the flap and the frame are attracting correctly.
  • If they seem to be repelling, you probably need to flip the flap around so they work properly.

Step 7 Position the New Flap

  • Now slide the new flap in place in the frame, and guide the flap rod through the side of the frame, through the flap, and out the other side.

Step 8 Install Retainer Ring

  • Push the new retainer ring on by holding the other side of the rod in place while pushing the ring on using your finger.
  • Each side only needs one ring, and the teeth need to bent facing away from the flap.

Step 9 Re-Install the Pet Door

  • Reinstall the flap and frame into the glass unit.
  • Line the holes up so you can see light through them, then screw the frame into place.
  • Once you’re sure everything is correct, put the new hole plugs in using a rubber mallet (or a hammer and wood).
  • You can refer to Endura Pet Door installation videos in the videos tab to help with this step.
