The wall unit pet doors can be installed into stud, brick, block or cement walls up to 12 inches thick
The opening of the door is 12 3/4 inches wide by 20 inches high
The way this door works is that it uses RFID technology where the door sensor reads the pre-programmed code in the collar key to know when to open and close the door automatically for the pet wearing it and no one else. So, other animals and wildlife are kept outside
A composite panel slides up and down when your pet enters and exits (you can adjust how long the panel stays open for)
The panel is completely secure when closed
The collars require no batteries
The waterproof collar key weighs just 0.4 ounces, and snaps onto your pet’s collar
The range of the collar to the door is 12 to 15 Inches
The system usually comes with 2 collar keys (but confirm before you buy)
The door signal wont’ interfere with a dog fence system, or a home security system
The door is pet and child safe – won’t close on and crush a pet or child if they obstruct the door and sit in the opening
The door plugs into a standard household outlet or can be hardwired
Made in the USA
Has a 5 year limited residential warranty
Comes with an aluminium tunnel that connects the interior and exterior frame

How Do You Install This Pet Door?
There’s no substitute for following the manufacturer’s instructions for installing their Pet Door product which should come with the door, or should be found on their website. They may also have YouTube videos to help you.
But generally, for most Pet Doors you need to cut out a section of the door or wall, insert and fix a frame or tunnel extender into the wall or door, and then fix the door onto the frame.
This may involve using a jigsaw or cutting tool, a drill, a screwdriver (can be phillips head or sometimes a non standard screw is included in the kit so check this), and the hardware included in the pet door kit.
Sliding doors and aluminium frame installs are generally easier as there’s usually no cutting, but just rather inserting and sometimes fixing involved.
Some people choose to install themselves, whilst some people choose to get a professional handyperson to do it for them.
