Select this dog door for medium sized pets if you want a quality pet door .
The Ideal Deluxe series pet doors share features with the Pet Safe
Classic (formerly Pet Eze) pet doors offered by Radio Systems. Primary differences
are that the locking cover is steel with a very effective locking mechanism and
the flap dimensions are somewhat different. Flaps have 'Ultra-seal' self-sealing edges that cling to frames to
keep out drafts. The self-framing adjustment range is 1/2" to 1 3/4" which will
accommodate all standard dimension interior and exterior doors. The door opening is 7 inches by 11 inches. This accommodates pets up to 25 to 35 pounds. For wall installation, choose Wall Kit # WKDM. (Not Included)

Ideal "Deluxe" Pet Door Detailed
Installation Instructions: TOOLS REQUIRE FOR INSTALLATION: Scissors . Hammer and Awl (or Nail) . Drill and 3/8 Bit . sabre Saw .
Phillips Screwdriver
1. Determine template placement - Using scissors, cut
template along dotted lines as indicated. Center template (width) in middle of
door; tape in place. Position the top of the template 2" taller than your pet's
shoulder.
Important: Under no circumstances should the
bottom edge of the rough opening be less than 3" from the bottom edge of the
wood door.
2. Outline pet door opening - With template taped in place,
use a pencil to draw around the inside edge of template onto door. Use a nail or
awl to mark inside edge corner holes and outer hardware drill holes.
3. Drilling holes - Drill four 3/8" diameter individual
holes (the inside edge corner locations will serve as a guide). Next: Drill the
3/8" diameter outer door hardware holes.
4. Cutting the opening - Begin with one of the inside edge
corner holes. Next: Using a sabre saw, carefully cut along the pencil line
. | 5. Assembly & Adjustment (See Diagram 1) - Insert outer
frame (A) (no flap) into opening from exterior side. Make certain frame is flush
with door surface. No adjustment is necessary if frame does not extend beyond
interior opening. If part of the outer frame extends into interior, remove
"break-off" levels on outer frame (B) as required. Use pliers to break off a
single level at a time starting at top, bottom then sides. Start at corner and
bend metal inward toward center in 2" intervals. Caulking is recommended under
outer frame. Place inner frame (C) (with flap) into opening from inside of door,
hold in place, insert binder posts (D) through exterior frame, then install
screws (E) and tighten until snug. Do not over-tighten. If screw extended past
outer edge of post, remove screw, cut-off accordingly, then re-insert. |  |
Note: Uneven Surfaced Doors:
If your door has an uneven surface, after cutting the rough
opening, build up the lowest area with wood frame thick enough to make an even
door surface. If both sides of your door are uneven, repeat the process for the
other side.
Installation In Walls And Other Types Of Doors
The pet door can be installed in walls, steel doors and storm
doors, however, additional materials such as wood framing, plaster, touch-up
paint, longer frame screws and additional tools may be required.
Walls: Once an opening has been made in a wall
it will be necessary to build a frame to cover the exposed area between wall
surfaces. Use wood screws to attach interior and exterior frame to wall
surfaces. When cutting through walls, extreme caution must be used so as not to
cut any concealed electrical wires, gas lines or water pipes.
Steel Doors: To create an opening in a steel
door use a jigsaw with a hacksaw blade to cut the opening starting at
pre-drilled corner holes.
Storm Doors with 1/2" or less: Starting at any
pre-drilled corner hole, use tin snips to cut out rough opening. Break off
levels 1 & 2 (B) as required (See Diagram 1).
