Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rust and corrosion due to aluminium construction
  • Effective at reducing drafts and external noise
  • Simple gravity-fed flap mechanism reduces mechanical wear
  • Includes all required hardware for installation
  • Satin anodised finish provides a clean, professional aesthetic

Cons

  • Bolt-through design requires precise hole placement
  • May not be suitable for doors with specific decorative moldings
  • Limited to standard door thickness ranges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward using the included bolt-through fixings. First, measure your existing aperture or mark your door for the new cutout, ensuring the opening is centered to accommodate the plate dimensions. Align the plate with the pre-drilled holes and secure it firmly using the provided bolts. For maintenance, keep the flap hinge clean of debris to ensure it continues to swing freely under gravity. Periodically wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent to preserve the satin anodised finish; avoid abrasive cleaning pads that could scratch the aluminium surface.
