Make sure you do not apply any of the weather stripping until you have put the panel in your door track and are 100% sure the sliding door dog door or cat door insert works for both your pet and your sliding door.

STEP ONE

First, take the bottom of your pet door panel and place it inside the bottom track. If your track has a pencil rail running across the center of it, the insert will straddle it.

STEP TWO

Next, straighten the panel and carefully loosen the thumbscrews to release the spring mechanism, letting the panel rise into the upper track. Then, push your panel towards the wall and inside the vertical track. You can now tighten the thumbscrews to secure the panel in place.

Note: if the outer track wall is shorter, it may be easier to install the final panel from the outside. The thumbscrews and locking cover will still be facing the inside of the home.

STEP THREE

Close the sliding door against the pet door to make sure they are level and free of any significant gaps. The weather stripping will help accommodate any small gaps. You can refer to the tricks included in your instructions for substantial deviations. Once you are confident that your panel fits your door, remove the door to install the weather stripping along both vertical sides of the panel.

STEP FOUR

Lay the panel on its side and from the bottom of the panel work your way up unrolling the weather stripping little by little and then trim with scissors. The draft stopper will be installed along the edge of the sliding glass door and will gently touch the fixed panel of glass too much overlap will wear down the adhesive and will not stick for very long.

STEP FIVE

Place the panel back on the track, making any necessary minor adjustments, and enjoy your new Endura Flap Vinyl Sliding Glass pet door.
