Step-by-step guide

Fitting your cat flap in a metal door

When using power tools, please follow all safety instructions provided

with the product.

It’s important to check whether your door contains a metal plate or thin metal foil before fitting.

This is because the presence of metal can eect the performance of the cat flap.

Doors containing metal include:

- Metal skin doors - Metal garage doors - Security doors - uPVC coated metal doors

uPVC coated metal doors oen look the same as standard uPVC doors and you may

need to look carefully where the panel has been cut.

Metal door handles or letter boxes should not cause a problem and for most cases any interference

from doors containing metal will be unnoticeable as the read range will still be suicient. To reduce

the risk of interference we recommend cutting a slightly bigger hole for the cat flap.

The step-by-step guide will explain how to do this.

Stick the external frame to the door and use the mark you made

for the height of your cat's tummy to align the inside bottom

edge of external frame. Use a spirit level to ensure it is level,

then run a sharp pencil around the outside of the frame.

To ensure 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 will help you to align the hole.

Attach a ball of Blu Tack (or similar adhesive putty) to each

rear corner of the external frame so that you can attach it to

the door and use it as a template.

Now mark your cutting line 5mm (/'') inside the line you

just traced. Once complete, rub out the original traced line if

you can so that you don’t get confused.

We advise that there are two people present for this step; one

person inside the house and one outside. From inside the

house, put the tunnel through the hole in the door. Remember

the SureFlap logo must be inside the house.

Now it’s time to prepare for cutting. We strongly advise that

you drill large holes in all the corners of the outline to make it

easier to cut the hole with a jigsaw. Make sure these holes are

touching the line and that they are big enough for the blade

of the jigsaw to fit through.

Using a jigsaw, cut around the inner edge of the line you have

marked. Once the hole is cut, to select the correct length of screw

from the sets provided, you need to compare the screw lengths to

the thickness of your door. The screw length needs to be between

20 to 35mm (/ to 2 /'') longer than the thickness of your door.

From the outside of the house, check that the tunnel is in

the centre of the hole and not resting on the edge of the

hole, then take the second mounting adaptor and side it over

the tunnel with the sealant facing the door. You may need the

person inside the house to keep pressure on the cat flap to make

sure it stays in place.

Next, slide the external frame over the tunnel. The person on

the inside of the house should keep pressure on the cat flap

and hold it so that the tunnel is in the centre of the hole. Using

a cross head screwdriver and the length of screw you’d chosen,

secure the external frame in place. 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.

Now, insert the two screw caps into the external frame.

Apply a line of clear all-weather sealant to the back of both

mounting adaptors, about 15mm ('') from the edge. Make

sure your cat flap is nearby and ready to be fitted. Place one of

the mounting adaptors (it doesn’t matter which) over the tunnel

of the cat flap so that the patterned side with the ribs is facing

outwards and is not touching any surfaces.
