How to Change the Door on a Petmate Pet Porter

The Petmate pet porter is a dog and cat carrier. It is a large, plastic box with a stainless steel grid for a door. A rod at the end of the door acts as a latch by extending into the top and bottom pieces of the carrier. If the door is ever damaged to the degree that you can no longer use it, you can purchase a replacement and put it into the carrier.

Instructions

    • 1

      Locate the handle on each side of the carrier. The handles control latches that hold the carrier pieces together.

    • 2

      Grip the handles. Pull upward to release the latches.

    • 3

      Lift the top of the carrier and set it to the side.

    • 4

      Pull the door upward to remove it from the lower portion of the box.

    • 5

      Place the new door in the lower portion. Two protruding rods at the bottom of the door go into two holes beneath the door frame of the carrier to hold the door in place.

      Place the top half back on the carrier. Secure the latches on the side to reconnect the pieces.
