Ensure the surface around the keyhole is clean and flat. Check if the keyhole itself is protruding significantly. For screw-on models, ensure it is tightened securely.
Self-adhesive is not holding
Clean the surface again and ensure it is completely dry. Consider using a stronger adhesive (sold separately) or opting for the screw-on installation method.
The flap does not close magnetically
Verify that there are no obstructions preventing the flap from closing. Ensure the magnet is properly aligned and free from debris.
