Installation Instructions
Endura Flap Vinyl Panels have an adjustable step-over feature that allows you to adjust the height of the flap to fit your pet. The top of the flap should be positioned at least 1" above the top of your pet's shoulders.
If the factory setting is not suitable for your pet, please adjust it following either the single flap (see page 6) or double flap (see page 9) process. If the current setting is suitable, proceed to the Installation Instructions below.
INSTRUCTIONS
If you purchased a double flap unit and you did not adjust the step-over height, you will need to install the hole plugs. Use the wooden end of a hammer, a rubber mallet, or another non-metal tool to tap the hole plugs over the eight exposed frame screws.
Step 1: Loosen the thumbscrews at the top of the panel. This allows the spring mechanism to move freely up and down.
Step 2: Insert the panel into the upper track of your door frame, push the panel into the spring mechanism, then swing the bottom of the panel up and over the threshold into the lower track rail.
If you can't clear the track, try swinging in from the outside, as the outside track wall may be shorter. If the panel still doesn't fit, see the FAQ for guidance.
Step 3: Once you are confident that the panel fits, remove the panel from the track and lay it on its side on the ground. Apply the foam weatherstrip seal by peeling back the paper and exposing the adhesive. Unroll it along the edge of the panel, pressing to ensure it adheres. Install on both sides and trim to fit with scissors.
Step 4: Place the panel back into the sliding glass door, then tighten the thumbscrews to lock it in place.
ADJUSTING STEPOVER HEIGHT
SINGLE FLAP PANELS
Please Note: Panels with a Small, Medium or Large Flap will have one adjustable spacer and one adjustable seal extrusion. Panels with an Extra-Large flap will have two adjustable spacers and two adjustable seal extrusions.
Step 1: Lay the entire panel on a flat surface. Using a #2 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the bottom set of side-screws. Loosen the middle set of side-screws one turn. Next, remove the bottom crosspiece by sliding it down and out from the panel.
Step 2: Now that the bottom crosspiece is removed, the remaining pet door assembly, adjustable spacer(s), and adjustable seal extrusion(s) (see page 1) can be removed by sliding the sections down and out of the panel.
Step 3: Replace the pet door assembly, adjustable spacer(s), adjustable seal extrusions(s), and bottom crosspiece by sliding them back in a different order (see next page) to achieve the desired height. You can move the spacer(s) above or below the pet door assembly to lower or raise the flap height.
Please Note: The order is important - the bottom crosspiece with the track cutout must always be at the bottom, as that is where the bottom side-screws attach. Make sure to position the adjustable spacer(s) so that the flap frame interlocks with the channel.
Please Note: You will also ned to move the adjustable seal extrusion to the new location to rest between the adjustable spacer and the adjacent crosspiece.
Step 4: Once the desired flap height is achieved, replace and tighten the botom side-screws and tighten the middle side-screws.
Please Note: If the white connector piece fall off of the Bottom Crosspiece, the diagrams below picture how to orient the connector back onto both sides of the Bottom Crosspiece.
DOUBLE FLAP PANELS
Step 1: Lay the entire panel on a flat surface. Use a #2 Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew the four frame screws from the flap frames to separate them, then set them aside.
Step 2: Loosen both the middle and bottom sets of side-screws one turn.
Step 3: Once the bottom and middle side-screws are loosened, slide the spacer(s) down to the bottom of the panel. Pull the adjustable seal extrusion(s) (see page 2) down and out to place it between the adjustable spacer and the adjacent crosspiece.
You can move the spacer(s) above or below the flap to raise or lower it until the desired flap height is achieved.
Step 4: Once the desired flap height is achieved, tighten the bottom and middle side-screws.
Step 5: To reinstall the pet door assembly, sandwich the interior and exterior frames on either side of the panel how they came. Insert the four frame screws through the pet door frames. Do not fully tighten the screws until all four are inserted and the pet door is level.
Once the pet door is leveled, tighten the screws so that the frames are secured and flush with the panel. Do not overtighten.
Step 6: Use the wooden end of a hammer, a rubber mallet, or another non-metal tool to tap the hole plugs over the eight exposed frame screws.
LOCKING YOUR DOOR
Since you cannot lock your sliding glass door to the panel, we have provided you with a sliding door clamp lock to secure your home.
Installing the sliding door clamp: This clamp has a screw that tightens by hand to prevent the sliding door from moving beyond the clamp's placement. For doors manufactured with the glass slider on the inside track, the lock can usually be installed on the door's raised track.
If you aren't able to use the lock that comes with the panel:
A great alternative to locking your sliding glass door is a Charley bar or dowel. Both block the slider from opening. When engaged, you cannot pull the sliding door away from the pet door panel.

FAQ
|
Is this the same as the Thermo Panel 3e sliding glass dog door insert? This is very similar in that it has the same height ranges, flap sizes, and dual-pane Low-e glass.

|
Does the sliding door dog door insert come in any color other than white? No, but the vinyl sliding glass pet door can be painted to match your home. |
|

|
Does your door have to be vinyl? No, this can work for aluminum sliders with tracks at least 1.5" thick. |
|
Is the flap flexible? It is flexible, but since it is two pieces sandwiched together it is a little stiffer and heavier than the more economical vinyl flaps. |

|
Will this form condensation like the aluminum panels? Nope! One of the benefits of a vinyl pet door for vinyl sliding doors is that it won't "sweat" in cold weather the way aluminum panels can. |
