Product Material

The SB Standard Wall Mount Pet Door is constructed using premium materials, including weather-resistant aluminum frames, insulated dual flaps made from flexible yet sturdy vinyl, and a durable magnetic seal for enhanced insulation and protection against outdoor elements. Its locking mechanism is built with high-grade stainless steel, providing long-lasting security.

How It Works

The SB Standard Wall Mount Pet Door works through a dual-flap system that provides easy access for pets while minimizing drafts and maintaining indoor temperatures. The magnetic seal ensures that the flaps close securely after use, preventing unwanted elements like wind, rain, or debris from entering your home. The built-in locking mechanism allows you to restrict access, providing added security when needed.

How to Install SB Standard Wall Mount Pet Door?

1. Check Size: Ensure you have selected the correct size for your pet. The top of the door should be approximately 2 inches taller than your pet’s shoulders.
2. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall area for installation, leaving enough room for the removal of the block-off panel.
3. Mark the Opening: Trace the flange of the pet door to determine the size of the rough opening.
4. Cut the Opening:
5. For Wood Walls: Drill out two diagonal corners and use a saw to cut along the traced lines.
6. For Metal Walls: Follow the same procedure with a blade suitable for cutting metal.

Insert Frames: Place the inner frame (with the block-off panel) into the opening, aligning the exterior frame on the opposite side. Sleeve them together.

Secure: Use the pre-drilled pilot holes and provided screws to affix the frames.

Seal Edges: Fill any gaps and seal the edges with caulking if desired.

General Use Information

To ensure the SB Standard Wall Mount Pet Door functions effectively, it’s essential to use and maintain it properly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to general usage:

Block-Off Panel Operation:
The block-off panel slides into place and secures with a pin lock. To remove the panel, gently pull the pin lock inward while lifting the panel. This inward pull prevents the pin lock washer from touching the unit frame, allowing for smooth removal.

Pin Lock Mechanism:
To retract the pin lock, pull the knob and turn it clockwise (right) about a quarter turn. To lock the panel, continue turning the knob another quarter turn; this will extend the lock under spring tension.

Important: Do not turn the knob counterclockwise (left), as this will loosen the pin lock and may cause it to malfunction.

Thumbscrew Maintenance:
The thumbscrews that hold the flaps in place are factory-tightened but may loosen over time. Regularly check the thumbscrews for tightness and use the included Allen wrench to retighten them if necessary. This ensures the door maintains a secure seal and proper function.

Magnet Adjustment:
The magnets in the door frame can be adjusted to create a precise seal, regardless of weather conditions or flap size. The magnets are held in place with an aluminum carrier that slides within the painted frame rail. To adjust the magnet:

Use pliers to lift the magnet out of the frame rail. Tip: Cover the magnet and carrier with a towel to avoid scratching.

Lift the magnet only enough to touch the strike plate on the flap.

If the magnet carrier becomes loose, carefully pry the two legs of the magnet apart and reinsert it into the frame rail.

Correct Magnet Position:
Ensure there is no airspace between the magnet and the strike plate for optimal sealing. Proper adjustment of the magnets will help maintain insulation and energy efficiency.

By following these general use guidelines, you can keep your Security Boss Standard Wall Mount Pet Door in excellent working condition for years to come.
