Step-by-step guide
Before you begin, we advise that you program your cat(s) ID prior to fitting, see page 7.
To ensure your cat has unhindered access through the cat flap,
measure the height from their tummy to the floor. Mark this
1
x
height on your door, as this is where the bottom of the hole
should be cut through the door.
Attach a ball of Blu Tack (or similar adhesive putty) to each rear
corner of the external frame so that you can stick it to the door
2
and use it as a template.
Stick the external frame to the door using the mark you made
for the height of your cat's tummy to align the bottom edge of
3
the hole. Use a spirit level to ensure the frame is level, then run
x
a sharp pencil around the inside edge of the frame.
When using power tools, please follow all safety instructions provided with the product.
Now it's time to prepare for cutting. We strongly advise
that you drill large holes in all the corners of the outline to
make it easier to cut the hole with a jigsaw. Make sure these
4
x
holes are touching the line and that they are big enough for
the blade of the jigsaw to fit through.

Cross head screwdriver
The screws and caps provided
Using the jigsaw, cut around the outer edge of the line
you have marked. By doing this, the cat flap should fit
through the hole first time. However, if you cut on, or
x
5
inside the line, the hole is likely to be too small. If this is the
case, please take the time to carefully file the hole until the cat
flap fits through easily.
Once the main hole is cut, check whether there is any metal within your door. If you can
see metal, go to page 15 and follow the instructions for fitting in a metal door.
Now check that the cat flap fits through the hole. Remember
the SureFlap logo must be inside the house. We advise that you
6
have two people for this, one inside the house and one outside
to help hold the product firmly in place.
On the outside of the house, make sure the tunnel of the cat flap
is securely pushed through the hole and then slide the external
7
frame over it. When the external frame is in place, using a
sharp pencil mark through the two holes.
Remove the external frame and the cat flap from the door
then drill the two screw holes using a 6mm (1/4'') drill bit,
8 remembering to hold the drill horizontally. We recommend that
you choose the correct length of screw to attach the cat flap to
your door at this stage. See the next step.
15 to 30mm
To choose the correct length of screw, from the sets provided
you need to compare the screw lengths to the thickness of your
9
door. The screw needs to be between 15 to 30mm (
longer than the thickness of your door.
Put the cat flap back through the door and slide the external
frame over the tunnel. Holding the product firmly in place, use a
cross head screwdriver and the screws you selected previously,
10
to attach the external frame. Fasten the first screw until it is
secure, but not too tight, then do the same to the last one. Once
all the screws are secure, tighten them.
11 Now, insert the two screw caps into the external frame.
