Level Lines

Step 2: Tape the template that came with the pet door to your door so that the bottom touches the level line you drew. Trace around the template, which will later guide your cut.

Step 3: Using a 1/2-inch drill bit, drill a hole all the way through the door in the top two corners of your trace marks.
