Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Carefully remove any broken or damaged door panels from the terrarium. Ensure the tracks (grooves) at the top and bottom of the door opening are clean and free of debris.
- Identify Door Orientation: The PT2541 is a left replacement door. Ensure you are installing it on the correct side of the terrarium.
- Insert Top Edge: Gently lift the replacement glass door and insert its top edge into the upper track of the terrarium door frame. Angle the door slightly to allow it to clear the bottom track.
- Lower into Bottom Track: Once the top edge is securely in the upper track, carefully lower the bottom edge of the door into the lower track. The door should slide smoothly into place.
- Test Movement: Gently slide the newly installed door back and forth to ensure it moves freely and without obstruction. Verify that it closes completely and aligns with the terrarium frame.
- Install Remaining Doors (if applicable): If replacing both doors, repeat the process for the right door (PT2542, sold separately).
4. Operating
The Exo Terra replacement door operates by sliding horizontally within the terrarium's tracks. To open, gently slide the door to the side. To close, slide it back until it meets the other door or the frame. Always handle the glass door with care to prevent damage or injury.
5. Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Clean the glass door regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn marks, use a glass cleaner specifically designed for aquariums or terrariums, ensuring it is safe for animals and does not leave harmful residues. Avoid abrasive cleaners or sponges that could scratch the glass.
- Periodically clean the door tracks to prevent debris buildup, which can hinder smooth operation. Use a small brush or cotton swab to remove dirt and substrate from the grooves.
6. Troubleshooting
Door Does Not Slide Smoothly:
- Check Tracks: Ensure the top and bottom tracks are clean and free of any substrate, dirt, or obstructions.
- Proper Alignment: Verify that the door is correctly seated in both the upper and lower tracks. If misaligned, carefully re-seat it.
Door Does Not Fit:
- Verify Model Numbers: Double-check that you have the correct replacement door (PT2541) for your specific terrarium model (PT2606). Refer to the compatibility table in Section 3.
- Inspect Terrarium Frame: Ensure the terrarium frame itself is not warped or damaged, which could prevent proper door fitment.
