Troubleshooting

Flap does not close completely.

Check for obstructions on the flap or frame. Ensure the magnetic clasp is aligned correctly and free of debris. Verify the installation is level.

Drafts are still entering the home.

Inspect the 360° seal for damage or gaps. Ensure the flap is closing flush against the seal. Check that the turn-lock fastener is engaged if required for sealing.

Cat is hesitant to use the flap.

Encourage use with treats or toys. Ensure the flap moves silently and freely. Verify the flap is clean and transparent.

Installation is loose.

Re-check the installation depth requirement (minimum 10 mm). Ensure all securing mechanisms are properly tightened as per manufacturer's instructions.
