Create A Pet Door Hole


by DoItYourself Staff

what you'll need

  • Pet Door Kit (correct size for your pet
  • Dremel Cutting Guide Attachment #565
  • Hammer and Metal Punch
  • Pencil


1. At the bottom center of a hollow core door, trace the pet door template. Be sure this does not give access to your deadbolt.








2. Metal punch the corners of the traced area. With the #561 drill completely through all four marks.









3. With the #561 and the cutting guide, carefully cut along the traced lines. Adjust the depth of the guide, making sure you're cutting through both sides.








4. After cutting all four sides and prior to installing the pet door frame, eliminate rough edges with the #952 Grinding Stone.
