PetSafe Window & Porch Screen Dog & Cat Door

Had the exact same doggie door for my last dog in my last place, yes I got a new house and Abby passed way. This door will last you a long time through lots of use, I know this from experience. If I hadn’t forgotten to take it with us from the last house I’d still be using the old one, which Abby used thousands of times over at least 6-7 years

Had I known that this did not come with any thing to attach it to the screen/door, I would not have ordered it. There are no pre-drilled holes for it to be attached. At least it would have the pre-drilled holes! So, now how to I do that without the plastic cracking? The seller should clearly say that it is not pre-drilled, even though it show that it does in the picture, and the seller should clearly say that the hardware needed to attach it is not present. I was not able to start the install project until today, past the return deadline.

This was our second such pet door--the first (not recalling if same brand) was a bit harder to install and seemed not to be as robust with repeated use-had to repair several times with screw and epoxy even. Eventually I had to replace the screen in the sliding door for other reasons, and needed a new pet door in the new screen. Instructions were clear--the only thing not clearly specified that might have been helpful would be some guidance about recommended positioning (if any) from the sides of the screen. Nevertheless, I took a chance and installed it closer to the open edge than our last one. We also have a stronger fiberglass mesh this time, so that might be also be good. Dogs figured it out on the second encounter, with treats--but then again, they'd had experience with the earlier one. Bottom line--measure 5 times, cut once. Follow the instructions! Take your time.
