The Aluminum Framed Pet Screen Door is incredibly easy to install. The installation instructions found on this web site are for your reference.

Included with the Screen Door Package are all of the tools and accessories that you will need. Our screen door kit comes complete with; Pet Screen Door sized to your request; Screen Spline Tool; Spline; Razorblade and Screws.

(Note: If installation sounds too difficult, we suggest referring the installation to a qualified local screen shop.)

The Aluminum Pet Screen Door should be installed in a host screen door that is in good condition. If your intended host screen is old and worn or does not operate properly, we suggest you refer installation to a qualified screen installation professional. They will be able to renew or replace your host screen as needed, as well as install your new pet screen door if you wish.

The following steps should be followed while your host screen is still in its opening:

1 - Determine the host screens position
(See Figure 1)...

2 - ...and locate your Aluminum Pet Screen Door at the bottom corner of your choice, on the body side of your host screen (See Figure 2).

Note: This location is usually on the handle side of your host screen so that there is a minimum amount of opening required. This enables your pet screen door to operate freely with your patio door or window.

3 - Place light pencil marks on the screen side of your host screen where the top edge and outside edge of your pet screen meet the frame of your host screen
(See Figure 3 ).

4 - Locate the position where the spline grooves of the pet screen meet at the top outside corner of the pet screen.

5 - While keeping a fix on this location, remove the pet screen and with razor blade provided, cut host screen material from this location (intersection of Top Outside Corner & Spline Groove). Cut from (A to C)
See Figure 3.

6 - Locate pencil marks on the side and bottom of host screen (Both B's), then with razor blade provided cut host screen material (as close as possible to host frame) from both (B's to C). See Figure 3

7 - You must now determine the placement of the self-adhesive  flat bars that will connect your Aluminum Pet Screen Door to your host screen. This will most likely be on the body side of both host and pet screen.

(Note: The screen side of the pet screen must face the same direction as the screen side of the host screen.)

Once you have determined which side you will place the flat bars, and have determined the proper positioning, you may then carefully adhere the flat bars into place. See Figure 4

If necessary, use holes and screws to better secure.

* The following steps will require the removal of your host screen from its opening: Sliding screen door removal.

1 - Sliding screen door removal (Figure 5) is generally a fairly simple task. Most screen doors will simply lift up and out at the bottom, then lower down to clear the top. If your screen will not clear the bottom after you have lifted it to its highest possible position, you will need to lift the bottom rollers with a flat blade, such as a putty knife. If this does not work you will need to adjust the rollers to allow for such clearance.
