Fitting your cat flap in a wood or plastic door

• Ruler
• Spirit level
• Blu Tack
• Sharp pencil
• Electric jigsaw
• Protective eye-wear
• Electric drill with a 6mm (1/4'') drill bit
• Cross head screwdriver
• The screws and caps provided

Ensure your cat(s) can pass through the flap before fitting.
Flap opening dimensions = 142 x 120mm (5 9/16'' x 4 3/4'')

1. To ensure your cat has unhindered access, first measure the height from their tummy to the floor. This measurement is the distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the hole you need to cut. Mark this on your door.
   
2. Stick the external frame to the door aligning the bottom edge of the hole with the measured mark. Use a spirit level to ensure the frame is level, then run a sharp pencil around the inside edge of the frame.
   
   When using power tools, follow all safety instructions provided with the product.
3. Remove the external frame. Drill pilot holes in the corners of the outline to make it easier to cut the hole. Make sure these holes are touching the line and that they are big enough for the jigsaw blade to fit through.
   
4. Using the jigsaw, cut around the outer edge of the line you have marked. If the hole is too small, please take the time to carefully file the hole until the Cat Flap fits through easily.
   
   Once the hole is cut, check if there is any metal in the door.
5. Now check that the Cat Flap fits through the hole. Remember the SureFlap logo must be inside the house.
   
6. On the outside of the house, make sure the tunnel is securely pushed through the hole and slide the external frame over it. Using a sharp pencil mark through the two holes.
   
7. Remove the Cat Flap from the door then drill the two screw holes using a 6mm (1/4'') drill bit. Remember to hold the drill horizontally.
   
8. To choose the correct length of screw from the sets provided, compare the screw lengths to the thickness of your door. The screw needs to be between 15 to 30mm (19/32 to 1 3/16'') longer than the depth of your door.
   
9. Put the Cat Flap back through the hole, position it centrally and replace the external frame. Using a cross head screwdriver and the screws you selected, attach the external frame and fasten the screws. Once the screws are secure, tighten them.
   
10. Lastly, insert the two screw caps with the groove facing away from the tunnel.
