• Actually, all you need to install a petWALK door is a hole of the appropriate size and a power socket within a radius of approx. 1 m without an extension cable and approx. 4 m with an extension cable.
• Push one part of the device into the prepared opening from the outside and the other from the inside. Screw both parts together and seal them well. Plug in the power supply. Done!
  
  

The Proper Installation Location

• When choosing the installation location, you have the freedom to decide into which material and at what position you would like to install the pet door.
• However, if possible, you should select a weather-protected (not the sunny side, not the weather side) and quiet spot that is easily accessible for your pets and where you do not frequently pass by.

Large or Small, Left or Right - As You Prefer!

• With petWALK doors, you can not only choose between two sizes but also the door opening direction, meaning which way the door leaf opens.
• You can select a pet door with a left or right hinge to suit your personal living situation.

Thick or Thin - We Have a Solution for Everything!

• petWALK pet doors are designed for the easiest possible installation into various building structures.
  "Enclosing" Installation
  This installation method is the simplest and quickest way to install the petWALK pet door into a building component. It is used when the door is retrofitted into building elements with smooth surfaces (laminated glass; doors with flat, smooth surfaces). You only need to create an opening of the appropriate size in the building component, which can then be enclosed by the pet door. The pet door is firmly pressed against the glass or door on both sides using the supplied screws, thus securing itself to the building component. A continuous seal on both frames ensures an airtight and watertight connection. For thin building components (less than 5 cm), a spacer (available as an accessory) is needed to clamp the door. Similarly, retrofitting into masonry can also be performed. Here, the petWALK pet door can be clamped either directly to the outer wall or between the inner wall and a previously installed subframe. The space in the wall between the outer and inner frames is sealed with a tunnel.

Standard-Compliant Installation? Of Course!

• A petWALK door is optimally suited for passive and low-energy houses and can be connected to the building envelope in an airtight manner without thermal bridges.
