The Swing pet flap can be used in wooden, plastic, metal doors or walls. It can also be used in glass doors unless it is not a safety glass or double-glazing. The tools required are the following: pencil, drill, template (supplied in the pack), jig saw and screwdriver.

Concerning wooden doors, measure the belly height of your pet from the floor and position the template on the door with the bottom at the same height. Mark around the perimeter on the door using the marker. Drill 4 holes in the corners of the marked area. Cut along the perimeter using the jig saw to join the 4 holes and smooth the edges using a file or sandpaper.

As regard glass doors you must consult a glass merchant before starting the job. It is impossible to drill holes in toughened safety glass or double-glazing unless they have already been drilled when the panes are manufactured. First of all measure the belly height of your pet from the floor and position the template on the door with the bottom at the same height. Secondly mark the bottom side using a marker; you will use it as the base to:

a) drill a circular hole with a diameter of 216 mm, if your pet flap is the small Swing 5, or of 210 mm if it is the small Swing 7;

b) drill four circular holes in the four corners of the pet flap, if it is the medium Swing 11 or the large Swing 15. Then join them.

Regarding metal doors the instructions are the same as those for wooden doors. The only difference lies in the fact that the magnetic key of the small selective-entry Swing 7 needs to be isolated in metal doors for the key to be able to work. It is to be isolated using a non-metal material (wood or similar), which must have a minimum thickness of 40 mm around the entire perimeter. This prevents any interference and ensures the correct operational efficiency of the magnetic mechanism.
