This pet door is all about the flap. This new door uses the Endura flap, which has been tested beyond 3,000,000 cycles without a failure!!! The key to its durability is that it swings on bushings at the top instead of flexing at the top like a typical soft vinyl flap, this pivot allows the door to swing without wear and tear. This new Endura flap is available in taller sizes than most other pet doors. The manufacturer refers to this as "aspect ratio". A high aspect ratio with a tall skinny flap makes it easier to fit multiple dogs, as the flap can be lower to the ground and yet still be tall enough for a larger dog at the same time, and is still not unnecessarily wide. Because of the full length magnets that go all the way down the sides and across the bottom of the flap, this door requires more force to open. We have customers with cats using the largest size, but if your pet is particularly skittish you may want to consider the alternatives and consider a Hale door as they are easier to open.
Endura Door Pet Door
There are 3 important sizes with respect to pet doors:
Flap Size is the most important, so it is listed on the main page. This is the size of the space that your pet will have to fit through.
Cutout Dimension refers to the size of the hole that needs to be cut in a wall to install the pet door.
Outside Dimension is the size of the outside of the frame, which can sometimes be important when installing a pet door in a limited space.
All sizes are given Width x Height.

Be careful not to unduly reduce the strength of the door by cutting too close to the bottom of the door. Level the top edge of the cut-out line as shown
in Figure 1.
2. Mark the hole centers for the four holes and remove the template.
3. Drill the four 3/8 inch holes as shown
Figure 2: Drilling four 3/8” holes in Figure 2. Note: Drill bit needs to be long enough to go through the interior and exterior of the door. It should be both level and straight when making the holes to ensure the two frames will align properly.
4. Draw lines to connect the outsides of
5. Cut along the line as shown in Figure 3. Note: Jigsaw needs to be level and straight when cutting the lines to ensure the two frames will align properly.

For doors with a thickness of less than 1-3/8 inch, see special instructions. For doors between 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch with the double flap door mount,
use the 2-3/4 inch screws.

severe water damage.
