Before You Begin; Fitting In A Metal Door - SURE petcare SURE FLAP Cat Flap CONNECT Guide D'utilisation

Fitting your Cat Flap in a metal door

Before you begin

It's important to check whether your door contains a metal plate or thin metal foil before fitting
because the presence of metal can affect the performance of the Cat Flap. This can be done by
holding a magnet to the door, however some metals such as Aluminium cannot be detected
this way so you may need to cut a small hole to check. Metal door handles or letter boxes
should not cause a problem and for most cases any interference from doors containing metal will
be unnoticeable. To reduce the risk of interference we recommend cutting a slightly bigger hole.
uPVC coated metal doors often look the same as standard uPVC doors and you may
need to look carefully where the panel has been cut.

To ensure your cat has unhindered access through the Cat
Flap, measure the height from their tummy to the floor. Mark
this height on your door, as this will help you to align the hole.
Attach a ball of Blu Tack (or similar adhesive putty) to each
rear corner of the external frame so that you can attach it to
the door and use it as a template.
Stick the external frame to the door and use the mark you made
for the height of your cat's tummy to align the inside bottom
edge of external frame. Use a spirit level to ensure it is level,
then run a sharp pencil around the outside of the frame.
Now mark your cutting line 5mm (3/16'') inside the line you
just traced. Once complete, rub out the original traced line if
you can so that you don't get confused.
