7.5 Installation in walls
Before you install the Microchip Pet Door in the wall of your home please consult a
qualied builder about the best location. Remember that there may be electrical
wires, gas or water pipes hidden within the wall which if damaged during the
installation can cause serious problems.
For installation of the Microchip Pet Door in a wall we recommend that you use SureFlap Pet
Door Tunnel Extenders (Product Code: TUN101).
Choose your mounting position on the wall ensuring that your pet will have easy access
through the Pet Door in both directions.
1. Measure the height of your pet’s stomach from the oor when your pet is standing. This
height is the level at which the bottom of the hole should be cut through the wall. Make a
mark on the wall at this height. Note: If there is a large drop on the outside of the house
you will need to place a step outside for your pet to access the tunnel.
2. Take the external frame as you will need to use this as a template to mark the hole in
the wall. Firstly make a small pencil mark at the bottom of the external frame in the
centre – see gure 20.
3. Put a piece of Blu-tack or similar low tack putty on the four corners of the frame. See
gure 21.
4. Stick the external frame to the wall on the inside of the house, lining up the pencil mark
and bottom of the frame with the mark you have made on the wall. Use a spirit level to
ensure that the frame is level. See gure 22.
5. Using a pen or pencil draw around the inside of the frame on the wall so you have a
clearly visible cutting line. You can now remove the frame from the wall.
6. Before you start to cut the hole through the wall remove the Pet Door from the area to
minimise the amount of dust and debris the product is subjected to.
7. We do not recommend that you cut through the inside and the outside surface of the
wall in one go – cut the hole on the inside of the house rst and then move outside to
cut the hole there. You may want to drill one hole straight through the wall in the centre
of the tunnel as a guide.
8. Whether you are cutting through brick, wood, tiles or plaster you should drill some pilot
holes rst around the perimeter of the line you have drawn. These holes should go
slightly over the line by no more than 1 or 2mm (1/16”). Then remove all of the material
in the centre using the most suitable tools for the material you are cutting. See gure 23.
9. It is important not to make the hole too large or you will not be able to screw the Pet
Door to the wall .
10. Once you have made the hole on the inside of the house you can move to cutting the
hole on the outside of the house. Remember to make the hole on the outside of the
house slightly lower than the inside so that rain can run out of the tunnel. Clear away
any dust and debris from inside the hole
11. Fix the tunnel extenders together and to the end of the Pet Door tunnel using an
All-Weather adhesive tape. Do not use glue in case you have to make adjustments or
remove the Pet Door – see gure 24.
