FAQs
What are the dimensions of the flap opening?
The flap opening size is 145 mm (width) by 145 mm (height).
Can this cat flap be installed in a glass door?
Yes, it can be installed in single or multiple glazing. An adapter kit for glass installation may be required and is sold separately.
What is the maximum thickness of door/wall this flap can be installed in without additional parts?
The flap is self-lining up to 50mm (2 inches) thick. For thicker installations, Elite wall liners are available.
How does the 4-way locking system work?
The system allows you to set the flap to four different modes: in only, out only, in and out (unrestricted), or fully locked.
Is the flap noisy when the cat uses it?
No, the flap is designed with silent action and a magnetic closure, which minimizes noise during operation.
Is this flap suitable for dogs?
This flap is specifically designed for small to average-sized cats. It is generally not recommended for dogs due to size and sturdiness considerations.
How do I clean the cat flap?
You can clean the flap with a damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaning products.
Troubleshooting
Flap is not sealing properly and letting in drafts.
Ensure the magnetic closure is clean and free of debris. Check that the brush seal is intact and not damaged. If the flap is warped, it may need replacement.
Cat is hesitant to use the flap.
Encourage your cat with treats or toys. Ensure the flap is not sticking and operates smoothly. For initial training, you might temporarily prop the flap open.
Locking mechanism is stiff or difficult to turn.
Check for any obstructions around the locking dial. A light application of a silicone-based lubricant might help, but avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dirt.
Unwanted animals are entering.
Ensure the manual lock is set correctly to 'fully locked' when not in use or when pets are not intended to go out. Verify that the flap size is appropriate for your pet and not too large for other animals to enter.
