Fitting your cat flap in a wooden or plastic door

INSTALLATION:

  • Installing into a metal door or brick wall?
  • The steps in this printed manual are not suitable for installations into metal doors or walls. Do not install the cat flap in a fire door as it will render it unfit for purpose.
    For more information about installing in glass, metal doors, or brick walls, please download a full manual at surepetcare.com/pdf

Do not under any circumstances drill or cut the tunnel of the cat flap.

  • Ruler
  • Sharp pencil
  • Electric drill with a 6mm (1/4″) drill bit
  • Spirit level
  • Electric jigsaw
  • Cross head screwdriver
  • Blu Tack
  • Protective eye-wear
  • The screws and caps provided
  1. To be sure your cat has unhindered access through the cat flap, measure the height from their tummy to the floor. Mark this height on your door, as this is where the bottom of the hole should be cut through the door.
  2. Stick the external frame to the door using the mark you made for the height of your cat’s tummy to align the bottom edge of the hole. Use a spirit level to make sure the frame is level and then run a sharp pencil around the inside edge of the frame.
  3. Prepare for cutting. We strongly advise that you drill large holes in all corners of the outline to make it easier to cut with a jigsaw. Make sure these holes are touching the line and they are large enough for the blade of the jigsaw to fit through.
  4. Using the jigsaw, cut around the outer edge of the line you have marked. By doing this, the cat flap should fit through the hole first time. However, if you cut on or inside the line, the hole is likely to be too small. If this is the case, take the time to carefully file the hole until the cat flap fits through easily.

  1. Now check that the cat flap fits through the hole. Remember, the SureFlap logo must be inside the house. We advise that you have 2 people for this, 1 inside the house and 1 outside the house, to help hold the product firmly in place.
  2. On the outside of the house, make sure the tunnel of the cat flap is securely pushed through the hole and then slide the external frame over it. When the external frame is in place, using a sharp pencil, mark through the 2 holes on to the door.
  3. Remove the external frame and the cat flap from the door then drill the two screw holes using a 6mm (1/4″) drill bit, remembering to hold the drill horizontally. We recommend that you choose the correct length of screw to attach the cat flap to your door at this stage.
  4. To choose the correct length of screw, from the sets provided you need to compare the screw lengths to the thickness of your door. The screw needs to be between 15 to 30mm (19/32 to 1 3/16″) longer than the thickness of your door.

SURE-PETCARE-SUR001-SureFlap-Microchip-Cat-Flap-fig-8

  1. Put the cat flap back through the door and slide the external frame over the tunnel. Holding the product firmly in place, use a cross head screwdriver and the screws you selected previously, to attach the external frame. Fasten the first screw until it is secure, but not too tight, then do the same to the last one. Once all the screws are secure, tighten them.
  2. Now, insert the two screw caps into the external frame.
