The PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap is suitable to fit most doors or partitions although
®
additional materials and competent DIY skills may be required. This cat flap is
designed to adapt easily to cut-out sizes for Staywell
and Petporte smartflap series cat flaps. Some simple DIY skills are required and
®
minor adjustments to the cut-out or additional accessories might be needed.
Installation – Measurement and Marking
Measure the belly height of your
cat. This is usually
100 mm –150 mm (Fig. A).
Mark this measurement on the
outside of your door and draw a
straight horizontal line 168 mm
long (Fig. B).
Please keep in mind that this horizontal line will eventually be the bottom of
the hole you will cut in your door. The frame of the cat flap will be 25 mm
lower. If necessary, this line may have to be raised slightly to account for some
door designs.
Installation – Wooden, PVC, or uPVC Doors
Before beginning, please check if your
door has a metal core. If a metal core
or metal plate is found, please refer to
the Installation Metal and Metal Core
Doors section of this guide (on the
next page).
1. Attach the supplied Cutting
Template to the outside of your
door in the correct position
ensuring that it is the right way up and level (Fig. C).
2. Drill four corner holes with a 12 mm diameter drill bit as marked on the
Cutting Template through the door. Please ensure the drill remains straight
and level.

3. Using a jig or key-hole saw, cut along the dashed line as indiated on the
Cutting Template. (Fig. D).
4. Temporarily place both frames into the cutout. Level the
cat flap until it is in the proper position. On the outside,
use a pencil to mark screw holes through the holes on
the exterior frame (Fig. E). Remove the cat flap and drill
the screw holes with a 6mm drill (Fig. F).
5. Clean the area from any dust, dirt or debris.
6. Place the interior frame (with attached tunnel) into the
hole from the inside. Align the exterior frame to the
outside of the door. Three (3) different lengths of
screws have been provided with this cat flap. Select
the appropriate length. Using a manual screw driver,
screw the exterior frame through the holes in your
door to the interior frame.
Important: Do not cut the tunnel. Key
components are contained within the tunnel and any
alteration to the tunnel will affect functionality.
7. When the installation of the cat flap is completed,
place the two blanking plugs over the screws on the
exterior frame. The cat flap is ready to use (Fig. G).
Installation – Metal or Metal Core Doors
Installation of the cat flap into a metal door or a door with a metal core plate
will require some modifications. The presence of metal can interfere with
the performance of the cat flap including a reduction in read range of the
microchip. If you experience poor performance you may need to purchase
and install an Installation Adaptor and follow the instructions in the Installation
– Glass Doors or Windows section of this guide.
