Troubleshooting

Cat is hesitant to use the door

Initially, leave the door on the 'fully open' setting. Use treats or toys to encourage exploration. Ensure the flap is not too heavy for your cat to push.

Locking mechanism is stiff

Check for any obstructions or debris around the lock sliders. Lightly lubricate the mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Door flap does not close properly

Verify that the door is installed correctly and that the flap is seated within its frame. Ensure nothing is blocking the flap's movement.

Drafts coming through the door

Ensure the door is fully closed and locked. Check for any gaps around the frame and consider adding weather stripping if necessary.
