1. It is recommended that the bottom of the hole is approximately the same level as your tallest pet’s stomach.
2. Place this template in desired position on flat area of door and draw round completely.
3. Prior to cutting hole, drill 2 holes of approximately 1/4" (6mm) diameter in top corners.
4. Use an electric jig-saw to cut along the inside of the drawn line. Be careful to cut hole square to the door, particularly with thicker doors. Ensure that the frames are free-fitting in the hole.
5. Determine the thickness of the panel in your door (see fig 5).
