Troubleshooting
Pet is hesitant to use the door
Encourage your pet with treats and praise. Start by holding the flap open for them. Gradual positive reinforcement usually helps.
Flap is flapping excessively in the wind
Ensure the sliding wind-locks are engaged. If persistent, check if the flap itself is warped or if heavier wind conditions require temporary manual locking.
Mesh appears torn or damaged
Inspect the damage. Minor tears might be repairable with screen repair tape. Significant damage may require replacement of the screen insert if available, or consideration of a new door unit.
Door frame is difficult to install
Ensure you are snapping the frame directly into the screen material. Verify you are using the correct orientation. Consult the installation diagram if needed.
