Setup and Installation
This pet door is designed for installation on screen doors. Follow these steps carefully:
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location on your screen door, ensuring it is at an appropriate height for your pet. The bottom of the opening should be slightly above your pet's belly.
- Prepare Screen: Carefully mark the cutting area on the screen using the pet door frame as a guide or an included template. Ensure the marked area is slightly smaller than the outer frame but larger than the flap opening.
- Cut Opening: Using a sharp utility knife or scissors, carefully cut the marked opening in the screen material. Be precise to avoid fraying.
- Position Frames: Place one half of the pet door frame on one side of the screen, aligning it with the cut opening. Place the other half of the frame on the opposite side of the screen, sandwiching the screen material between the two frames.
- Secure Frames: Align the screw holes on both frames. Insert the provided mounting screws through the holes and tighten them securely. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the screen or frame.
- Test Flap: Ensure the pet door flap swings freely and the magnetic closure engages properly.

Operating Instructions
The Relaxdays Pet Door allows your small cat or dog to pass through screen doors independently.
- Automatic Closure: The integrated magnets ensure the pet door flap automatically closes after your pet passes through, helping to keep insects out.
- Locking Mechanism: The pet door is equipped with two sliding latches (one on each side of the flap). Slide these latches to the "Close" position to prevent your pet from using the door. Slide them to the "Open" position to allow free passage.

- Cleaning: Wipe the pet door frames and flap with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic or screen material.
- Inspection: Periodically check the screws for tightness and the flap for smooth operation. Ensure the magnets are clean and free of debris to maintain proper closure.
- Screen Integrity: Inspect the screen material around the pet door for any tears or damage. Repair or replace the screen if necessary to maintain its function.
