Door Panel Installation

Installation in Door Panels

The petWALK pet doors can be easily installed in movable structures such as hinged or sliding doors.
For thin door leaves less than 10 cm thick, installation is similar to that in insulating glass; in thick entrance doors, elegant, fully integrated installation within the door frame is also possible.
The installation in panels is characterized above all by a quick and clean installation and enables uncomplicated dismantling in the event of a change of residence

The dimensions of the opening for the “Medium” model are 38 ± 1 cm x 53 ± 1 cm.
For the “Large” model, the installation opening must be 48 ± 1 cm x 73 ± 1 cm.
It is important to ensure that there is at least 3 cm of space around the side edges of the opening to the edge of the component so that the frame of the petWALK pet door can be installed.
Run the connecting cable inside the door leaf to the hinge side and use a standard transition to reach the frame.
Position the opening as low as possible to make it as comfortable as possible for your animals to use.
We recommend using a door contact . If the wing is opened, the animal door will not function. If the animal door is opened, it will close immediately. This prevents a collision.
Position the door as close as possible to a glass strip. This way you can easily hide the connection cable behind it.

In cases where an outstanding level of thermal insulation is desired, the frame of the animal door can be provided with additional insulation.
The standard door element is suitable for component thicknesses of up to 10 cm. Depending on the component thickness, please turn the threaded rods out of the outer frame to the appropriate extent so that you can grip the threaded rod with the screw. When you tighten the screw, the threaded rod turns back in by itself so that a secure hold is ensured.
