Exterior in Wall Pet Door Installation

Installing an exterior wall pet door takes great care! First, you need to select a suitable location in the wall to avoid electrical, or pipes. Cutting a stucco wall takes the right tools and skill to do a neat, clean installation. Neatness counts! I begin by putting plastic down, as I will be cutting the inside drywall for the inside dog / cat pet door installation.

Every time before I install an exterior pet door in a wall, I like to set up and organize my work station for the neatest results which will end in a very clean installation.

Next, I carefully mark and cut the drywall opening for the pet door.

Once the inside drywall is cut, aligning the holes requires care. Measuring is very important, as misaaligning holes is very easy to do.

Finally, the dog /cat door halves are aligned, squared, and assembled. You and your pet are ready to enjoy!!
