The first step is to mark out the space in which the flap will be. The instructions for the specific model of flap will give you specific directions on this, however a general rule is to place it somewhere in the middle of the door (depending on the size of your pet). Make sure the markings on your flap are clearly visible and also that they do not cover any pipes or cables (gas, water, or waste) which could be accidentally cut.

Then, slide the flap into the hole and screw it in place using the fixing bolts supplied (these will be in your kit).
