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.
