7.4 Installation in metal doors
The presence of a metal plate in a door can influence the performance of the SureFlap
Microchip Pet Door, reducing the range of the microchip reader. This includes the following:
•
Metal skin doors
•
Security doors
•
Metal garage doors
•
UPVC coated metal doors
For most situations you will not notice anything, as the read range will still be sufficient for the
majority of microchips and collar tags. However, if you experience intermittent operation or
failure to open for your pet, first check for the presence of a metal plate in the door. Note that
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. If a metal plate or thin metal foil is confirmed,
follow the instructions below for improved read range.
If there is metal present you will need to cut a larger hole in your door – leaving a gap of 2-3cm
(1-1.2") between the tunnel of the SureFlap and the metal in your door. To begin with trace
around the outer edge of the back frame as a size guide as shown in figure 18. Now mark your
cutting line 1cm (0.3") inside the line you have traced around the back frame, leaving the screw
holes in place as shown in figure 19. Cut this hole and reinstall your SureFlap Microchip Pet
Door following the instructions in section 7.2.
If you still experience intermittent operation you will need to increase the size of the hole
again, in this case you will require the mounting adaptor shown in Figure 10 (Product Code:
GMA101). For details of where to purchase this adaptor see our website www.sureflap.com.
First trace around the circumference of the mounting adaptor as a guide. Now mark a circle
approximately 2cm inside the line from the mounting adaptor, again leaving the indentations for
the screw holes. Cut this hole and then reinstall the pet door again, following the instructions
in section 7.3. This will extend the read range further and should resolve any issues with
mounting in a metal door.
