6. Installation
DIY installation may involve the use of power tools or cut glass. Safety equipment
(gloves, eye protection, etc.) should be used and if in doubt consult a professional to
carry out the installation.
Suitable door types
Instructions are provided for installation in all door types, including wooden, plastic, glass, and
metal. Before installing in a door with unknown construction please check for a metal plate in
case a larger hole is required, as described in the metal door installation section. If you can only
be sure of the construction of the door by drilling a hole in it, make a trial hole anywhere covered
by the proposed hole for the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap.
Cat Flap positioning
The ideal height of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap is such that the base of the tunnel is the
same height above the ground as your cat’s stomach. In practice however, mounting is normally
dictated by features in the door into which the unit will be installed. In these circumstances, it is
usual to mount the cat ap as low as possible.
6.1 Installation in wooden doors, plastic doors, or plasterboard walls
1. Place the external frame face down as in Figure 4. Attach a ball of Blu Tack (or similar
adhesive putty) in each of the four corners. These should allow you to stick the frame to
most doors.
2. Choose the position on the door at which you want to mount the cat ap and stick the frame
to the door. To ensure that it is level we recommend you use a spirit level as shown in Figure
5.
3. Use a sharpened pencil or pen to mark where the inside of the frame touches the door as
well as the two screw holes. You need to make a legible line as this will be used for cutting
against.
4. Remove the frame from the door and check you have a solid line and dots where the screw
holes are, as in Figure 6. Using a drill with a 6mm (1/4”) diameter bit, drill the two holes for
the screws. It is vital these holes are drilled straight to ensure the two halves of the cat ap
connect properly.
5. Before you cut out the hole for the tunnel drill holes in all the corners large enough to allow
your jigsaw blade through. Cut out the tunnel hole with an electric jigsaw – ensure you cut
3mm (1/8”) outside the line you have marked for the hole to allow enough clearance for
the tunnel. Make sure that your jigsaw is sitting at on the door at all times while cutting.
See Figure 7.
6. Clean off any loose debris, dust and dirt from the door before you install the SureFlap
Microchip Cat Flap, see Figure 8.
7. Mount the cat ap in the hole with the main assembly (battery cover) inside the house. See
Figure 9.
8. Mount the external frame on the outside of the house. Depending on the thickness of the door,
