Cat Mate Lockable Cat Flap | Transparent Cat Flap | Tamper Proof | Weatherproof | White 192mm x 200mm

i used this cat flap for my bedroom door as my pregnant ragdoll got locked out my bedroom so she clawed at my carpet to get in there ive included how thick my door is as i couldn’t find a review with this so hope this helps this is the medium cat flap even tho it looks small and fits my very large pregnant ragdoll

This is the perfect size for our door. The 2 cats enjoyed playing with the box it came in and watching me cut out the hole in the door. They lept through the hole I'd cut like 2 kittens having a ball. Then to be sure the door didn't delaminate I coated the cut area with waterproof pva glue.Oh eck before I could fit the flap frame the cats jumped through now they are covered in glue. So after cleaning up the cats no harm done the flap was fitted. Awesome. Great bit of kit. Smooth running draft proof.Then the sleepless nights began. Putting the cats outside and trying to intice them in with favourite cat treats only works when I lift the flap for them. When they want out. They make a terrible noise jump on me pull the covers poke my nose with a paw or rake the carpet till I get up and push the flap open. Once back in bed they make a right din till I get up and open the flap to let them in. Now they know where the flap is they know that they can fit through. But instead of getting a restful night. I have become a cat doorman great product love it only wish the cats would use their heads to push the thing open.

Basic cat flap, works well. Installation is a bitch, like it seems every other cat flap on the market you have to line up the front and back plates mm perfect or the screws miss the holes on the outer plate. The screws that come with the kit are useless unless your door is 1mm thick, so you need a selection of screw lengths to suit your door. It’s far easier to not drill pilot holes and simply screw from both sides directly into the door with short screws. The design of screwing through the back plate into the front plate is ridiculous, as you can’t see the front plate holes to line them up.

Just fitted this cat flap over the last few days. What guided me to this purchase was the price and quality. I fitted the cat flap in a new house, which has MDF style fire doors which are about 1.5inches thick, it took me a lot longer than I thought as I don't have a jig saw, so did the old drill and saw out job, which was laborious. The design of this cat flap is that you connect the two halves by screwing from one side into the other, which I imagine is tricky and unnecessary, if the screws were supplied shorter. Due to this, when fitted to a wide door, you need to find 4 additional screws and drill out the small holes on the lockable side to attach it directly to the door, the holes are too small otherwise. It has a magnetic base so the flap does not flap about in a breeze though this does provide a little resistance to the kitty when pushing through. As you can see from the pics, I painted the hole, so the tunnel looked a bit more professional.

This is very good and inexpensive cat flap.Instructions are clear and included template makes cutting very easy.Once installed they work perfectly, locking function easy to use.Had 2 of these for over a year and no issues.
