MOUNTING INTO LAMINATED GLASS OR DOOR PANELS
The easiest way to fix your petWALK pet door is to integrate it into double or triple laminated
glass. All you need is the right aperture in your pane. Therefore a pane replacement is
necessary, since cutting into laminated glass is impossible. Afterwards the petWALK pet door is
simply "clamped" and the installation is finished.
WARNING!
The petWALK pet door must be installed into ESG laminated
glass/ at least double glazing. The petWALK pet door is not
suitable for an installation into a single glass panel!
WARNING!
Laminated glass is filled with special gas therefore cutting an
opening into laminated glass is impossible. A new glass pane
with the right opening has to be produced.
NOTE!
The standard door module is suitable for component thickness
up to 10 cm. Turn the threaded rods out of the outer frame at a
distance corresponding to the thickness of the component so
that you can get hold of the screw of the threaded rod. When
tightening the screw, the threaded rod will follow accordingly so
that a secure hold is given.
Due to technical reasons the glass panel must be chosen in a
way that the spacing distance to the outer edge of the
element is at least 5 cm circular (according to the glass
manufacturer for stability reasons).
There is a recommended minimum size of the glass element
of 53cm x 68cm for the model "Medium" and 63cm x 88cm
for the model "Large".
The inner edges of the glass cut may have an inner radius of
up to 1cm, if necessary.
At lower glass latitudes a cross-bar (horizontal bar) just
above the planned installation position of the door can be
installed and a correspondingly smaller sized glass pane can
be designated at the top.
The petWALK pet door can be mounted in an applied
cassette below the impost. Note that there must be a
circulating space of at least 30 mm from the side edges of
the opening.
The way of installation would be the same, when installing
this door into a panel (of a front door) with plain surface.
If a very high degree of insulation is necessary, the
doorframe of the pet door can be equipped with an optional
additional thermal insulation kit.
