Which accessories do I need for which petWALK installation location?
We're glad you're here! We're delighted that you're already thinking about installing the petWALK pet door. Many of our customers call us to clarify the necessary accessories for their individual installation situation before ordering. You can of course continue to do this! We're happy to advise you.
To give you a good overview of the necessary accessories, we have summarized the products for you according to their installation location.
Necessary accessories
Fixed glass installation and panel installation
When installing in fixed glass or a fixed panel, no accessories are generally required for installation. If the window pane or panel is less than 2 cm thick, an additional "spacer" is required. The spacer is a frame that is attached between the pane/panel and the petWALK inner frame. One piece is included in every delivery. If the structure is less than 2 cm thick, two pieces of the spacer are required.
- Spacers (will be automatically ordered when ordering via the configurator)
Door installation and glass door installation
To prevent the petWALK door from colliding with a wall or other objects, a magnetic contact is advisable. This tells the petWALK door when the front door is opened. petWALK then stays closed or closes immediately.
- Connection cable door contact
- Magnetic door contact (if not already installed in the door – many new front doors already contain a magnetic contact)
- Tunnel set 10 cm (if the door/pane is thicker than 6 cm)
Wall installation
When installing in a wall, the opening in the wall must be lined. There are special panels and threaded rod extensions for this, so that the wall thickness specified in the order can be easily bridged. In addition, a direct power connection in the wall is a nice and clean solution, especially in new buildings.
- Tunnel plate set (is automatically added to the shopping cart when ordering via the configurator) Available in increments of 10. For a wall thickness of 30.5, for example, it is necessary to choose the next size.
- Flush-mounted power supply (if you want to place the power connection directly in the wall to the petWALK door to avoid dangling cables)
Selection of decors

- Interior decor
- Exterior decor
To ensure that the petWALK door not only provides more freedom but also is an eye-catcher, we offer different colored decors in two materials: acrylic glass and HPL (high-pressure laminate).
These are attached to the door using industrial Velcro fasteners and are therefore interchangeable. Of course, only in case your taste in colour or furnishings change over time...
The advantages of the materials:
Acrylic: Has a smooth surface as standard and is easy to clean. The acrylic glass is printed and is therefore very flexible in terms of color design and even individual prints. Acrylic can also be ordered with a matt surface on request (please contact us by email) or as a crystal-clear decoration for your own design with special colors or similar that we cannot print.
HPL: HPL is a high-pressure laminate that is coated with a color or pattern, similar to laminate flooring. HPL has the advantage of being more durable. However, the color selection is limited and custom-made products are not possible. The surface of HPL is matt.
Recommended accessories for all installation locations
- petWALK.control Enables the door to be connected to the Internet (i.e. enables app control and connection of voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa TM, Cloud Cams, etc.).
- Additional insulation has been developed primarily for low-energy houses and offers thermal insulation at passive house level.
- Alarm connection cable Connect the petWALK pet door to your home alarm system and make your home even safer.
- Extension cable If the nearest power socket is more than 1.5 m away from the petWALK door, we recommend ordering the extension cable.
- Paw scraper The paw scraper ensures a clean floor. The carpet in petWALK format absorbs the dirt from the paws before they even touch the floor.
- RFID tag The RFID tag is attached to the collar. Once programmed, the petWALK pet door will only open for your pet if desired. One is included with every order. If you have several animals, we recommend ordering additional chips. The RFID tags are waterproof and shockproof.
