Ich habe mir diese Katzenklappe gekauft, damit ich nicht durchgehend die Terrassentr offen lassen muss und somit die ganze Klte rein kommt.
Die Montage ging wirklich sehr einfach und es ist auch alles enthalten, was man fr den Einbau braucht. Die Anleitung ist klar und verstndlich.
Die Katzenklappe funktioniert sehr gut und die Katze hat sich sofort damit angefreundet und die Klappe verstanden.
Es gibt einen Stern Abzug, weil ich gehofft habe, dass die Klappe ein wenig dichter ist. Leider kommt immer noch die Klte rein. Natrlich nicht so stark wie vorher, aber trotzdem hlt es die Klte nicht ganz auf. Auerdem spre ich auch beim nher herangehen einen leichten Zug (Luftzug).
Weiters sollte noch erwhnt werden, dass man bei der Klappe auch unterschiedliche Verschlsse einstellen kann:
.) Hinaus und hinein verschlieen
.) nur hinein verschlieen
.) nur hinaus verschlieen
Dieses Feature ist in manchen Situationen wirklich praktisch.
Insgesamt finde ich das Preis/Leistungsverhltnis sehr gut und kann diese Katzenklappe jedenfalls empfehlen.
Gattaiola come da descrizione, facile da montare se si hanno a disposizione i giusti attrezzi in porte di legno o plastica, un po’ meno in serramenti in vetro (occorre rivolgersi ad un vetraio ed necessario un adattatore).
Very easy to install, sturdy and stops a lot of the draughts compared to our previous one. The cat soon got the hang of it!
j’ai donc tent cette chatire et j’en suis satisfait, mme si je ne l’ai pas encore installe.
Elle semble robuste, 3 positions (ferme, ouverte dans les 2 sens, ouverte que dans un sens pour que le chat ne sorte plus une fois entr…)
Le tunnel intgr est un plus. Comme a, quelque soit l’paisseur de la porte, cela fonctionnera avec une chatire qui dpassera plus ou moins. Mais ca ne gne pas les chats. Attention, ce tunnel ne peut pas tre enlev, il est scell l’ensemble. Mais il permet une fourchette de fixation pour des portes de 3.5 cm 7cm de profondeur. Ca laisse de la marge ! Plusieurs tailles de vis sont fournies.
Aprs essai, la porte est plutt silencieuse et l’aimant (intgr dans le plastique) fonctionne bien aprs 2 ou 3 battements. L’arrt est propre et l’ensemble semble bien isol une fois ferm.
A voir dans le temps et selon l’usage des chats mais cet achat me semble convaincant et pas trop onreux !
Like my new cat flap it was easy to install and it is good value for money.
Bought for my mums cats, to give them more feeedom to go in & out sometimes & can lock it later, as my mums cats don’t go out when darker. They like it, 2 cats did take a while to go through i think as the noise of the flap closing back down, but after about a week & watching another cat do it they all just go through now. Good quality cat flap. Thank you.
Installation “simple” jusqu’au moment de visser les 2 parties ensemble (les trous prvus sur le patron ne tombent pas en face c’est un enfer mais bon au pire on peux toujours la coller)
Utilisation et apprentissage rapide de mon chat (avec l’aide de quelques friandises).
La fentre se maintient ferme avec des aimants et le joint “brosse” sur le contour assure bien l’tanchit, on ne sens pas l’aire pass malgr les 8 degres dans le garage.
After reading about cats not liking the loud click I was worried about how Selwyn would react. In the end I needn’t of worried as it works perfectly well so far. I would highly recommend this door to cat owners.
Meine erste Katzenklappe. Einbau etwas fummelig, bin gebter Heimwerker aber die Schrauben zu befestigen ist etwas zh. Knnte man besser machen. Dafr schliet die Klappe perfekt. Geht in der Holzkellertre nach drauen. Habe eine billigere an der Innentr montiert, die bleibt gerne mal hngen, was dann ziemlich doof ist. Alles in allem okay, ein Stern Abzug weil ich finde, dass die Zugluft besser unterdrckt werden knnte. Im Wohnbereich wre mir diese Klappe zu zugig.
Love the quietness and so easy for my cat to use.
En general como gatera est bien, lo que ocurre es que finalmente me decid por esta porque indicaba expresamente lo siguiente:
Energticamente eficiente – Un burlete hermtico duradero y dos puntos de cierre magnticos ayudan a aumentar el aislamiento y la eficiencia energtica.
As como los dos puntos magnticos es cierto, lo del burlete hermtico NO lo es. Hay un pequeo espacio libre alrededor de la puerta que permite que pase le aire frio si lo instalas en una puerta que d al exterior. Esta gatera cuesta el doble que muchas otras, y me decid por este detalle que finalmente no ha cumplido mis expectativas. Tendr que subsanar el problema por mi cuenta.
If you have a cottage in a garden, your cat will be free when you are out for a week-end. Please don’t forget the food for i
Had a bit of difficulty setting the thing up as my cat was very unsure about its loud clicking when operating. Easy to install otherwise as it replaced a manual version. At least my cat can only get in now and not a very bold stray.
Funktioniert einwandfrei. Nach einer kurzen Eingewhungsphase liebt unsere Katze dieses Teil inzwischen. Hat sich gut einbauen lassen. Dank des gepolsterten Rands, schwingt die Tr nicht ewig hin und her, nachdem die Katze sie benutzt hat. Bin rundum zufrieden.
This was very easy to install once the hole had been made in the glass… done in roughly 20 minutes. Very sturdy. Good make
Chatire d’excellente qualit, convient parfaitement ma porte fentre (bas plein) en PVC blanche. L’esthtique de cette chatire la rend trs discrte. La fermeture aimant est silencieuse et semble bien fonctionner.
Easy to install (especially if you get your son-in-law to do it!) but it did take a few days to get the cat to use it. Treats eventually worked. Best thing is I now know it’s my cat rather than next door’s cat who has eaten the food!
Easy to install, sturdy for the price, instructions are clear and easy to follow too
Super robuste Klappe! Meine Katze darf nicht immer raus und obwohl meine Katze es sehr wehemend und aggressiv versucht hlt die Klappe, wenn der Riegel verschlossen ist. Meine Katze wiegt 5,7 kg und passt trotzdem ohne Probleme durch.
Wrde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen und weiterempfehle
Excellent product, very easy to instal with the correct tools, takes about 20 minutes, cats started using it immediately
Easy to install and add my cat’s microchip. My cat wasn’t too sure about the clicking noise when the blocks dropped but he soon got used to it. Best thing I’ve bought in a long time. I no longer have other cats in my house now.
Easy to install looks good and cats use it easily
My three cats have been using a microchip reading cat flap for many years with no complaints. I have also recently a installed a manual catflap, so my cats can escape fron the bedroom without wrecking the carpet. Need I say more?
Chatire pose par un professionnel sur une porte intrieure menant au sous-sol. Mon chat a vite compris son utilisation. Les premiers jours, j’avais scotch la porte en position ouverte.
Mega einfache Installation. Stichsge gengt.
Alle Funktionen vorhanden und meine Katze, 4,5 Kilo, hat es sofort kapiert und passt ohne Probleme durch. Es klappert nicht nach, meine Katze hre ich, wenn sie rein oder raus mchte.
Qualitt ist super.
Wanted a cat-flap that would lock, but without chip/collar sensor. Fitted to a UPVC door, this works a treat. Allows full access, full lock or in/out only. Surround is a very clean white, flap nice and clear. Happy with purchase
Die Katzenklappe ist leicht zu installieren, die Katze lernt sehr schnell wie es funktioniert. Leider kann es ein Manko geben. da wenn man einn Garten hat besteht leider die Gefahr das auch andere Tiere ins Haus kmen.. in unserer Gegend gibt es auch andere Katzen oder auch Waschbren. die Zweitrern mchte ich nicht gerne in unserem Haus haben. das kann beim zu spt entdecken zu einen schlimmen Schaden an Mobiliar und anderen beitragen. deshalb habe ich jetzt unsere Katze chippen lassen und eine neue Petsafe Klappe mit Mikrochiperkennung bestellt. schade ist nur das ich die andere Klappe nicht mehr brauche und muss sie nun verkaufen. fr Regionen, wo es keine Waschbren gibt ist die manuelle Klappe gut genug.
Wir haben die Katzenklappe in einer der Zimmertren eingebaut. Der Einbau ist super einfach und schnell gemacht. Die beiliegende Schablone ist sehr hilfreich zum Sgen.
Wir haben zwei Katzen, wovon eine die Klappe sofort angenommen hat. Die andere geht bis heute nicht dadurch, was aber auch nicht schlimm ist und man dem Produkt auch nicht ankreiden kann. Katzen sind nunmal so.
Unser Kater (der tglich die Klappe nutzt) passt mit seinem 5 kg allerdings so gerade eben dadurch. Da es durchaus einige grere und schwerere Katzen gibt wrde ich sagen, dass diese wohl nicht mehr dadurch passen. Laut Hersteller passen Tiere bis 7kg durch. Ich denke das ist sehr optimistisch gedacht.
Alles in allem ein gutes Produkt und der Preis ist auch angemessen.
Plutt facile a installer si on est un minimum bricoleur. Pose depuis 3 semaines et pour le moment je suis satisfaite. Fait le boulot demand. Ne fait pas de bruit, laisse passer peut-tre un tout petit peu d’air mais on a fait un joint silicone en plus autour du cadre extrieur et c’est parfait! Mes chats se sont trs vite habituer au systme. A voir dans la dure
Tidy looking cat flap and easy to fit.
Due to having one of my cats being a stray and not having a chip, I was looking for a manual one.
Clear settings on actual flap for entry/exit.
Acheter pour mes 2 chats qui ne supporte pas celui puce donc oblig de commander celui la.
Facile de pose , guide idal pour dcoupe.
Utiliser dans une porte PVC pas de ressenti d’air au tour de la chatire, contient correctement la fracheur hivernale
Trs bonne chatiere, facile installer avec la feuille d’installation scotcher sur la porte.
Se ferme d’un sens, dans l’autre o totalement.
Trs bonne chtiere car la porte n’est pas bruyante quand elle se referme, elle ne claque pas. Trs facile installer ! J’ai d’abord regard une vido sur YouTube. Il y avait un gabarit papier scotcher sur la porte. a a vraiment t facile et rapide ! 20 mn top chrono !
Works fantastic.
Was a little tricky to install but that was the composite door more than the flaps fault.
Now it’s in though brilliant
Very little draft. You have full control of how it opens and if you like you can leave it locked.
Over all well impressed.
Wertige und optisch ansprechende Katzenklappe. Geruschpegel eher leise. Montage in eine Kunststofftre
(bei uns Durchgangstre zur Garage) gestaltete sich problemlos. Einzig die Gre ist bei unserem Kater fast zu klein. Durch die untere Rundung, geht doch etwas Platz verloren! Da bei unserer Tr, durch den Rahmen die Klappe etwas hher angesetzt werden musste, tut sich unser Dicker beim durchschlpfen etwas schwer und muss seine hinteren Beinchen ganz schn nach oben strecken um rauszukommen!
Easy to fit or hole as been cut right just remember it will be round and when you buy this cat flap you will need adapter definitely recommend
We had a problem with a neighbours cat coming in over night so brought this, some reviews say that it allows other cats in but we’ve not had a problem, our 2 are happy enough coming and going and we’ve had no un-invited guests since installing.
Very easy to install and set up.
Die Katzenklappe scheint stabil zu sein. Eine unserer Katzen hat bereits 3 Klappen geschrottet.
Der einzige Nachteil ist, das die Klappe alles spiegelt. Daher hatte unsere andere Katze erst Angst davor.
Sie lsst sich super umstellen. Wir sind bis jetzt sehr zufrieden mit dem Artikel und wrden ihn nochmal kaufe
J’ai achet deux chatires identiques que j’ai fait fixer en lieu et place d’aration de la maison, ce qui permet mes chats de rentrer comme ils veulent au sous-sol par le vide sanitaire. Ce qui m’vite de devoir laisser une porte vitre ouverte sans arrt. Ils n’avaient jamais eu de chatire mais ont trs vite compris comment a marchait. Une chatire est installe au nord pour l’t, l’autre au sud pour l’hiver. Elles sont gniales et pas trs chres pour la qualit.
Conforme la description. Le seul point ngatif c’est qu’il faut vrifier le verrouillage ou dverrouillage car si le bouton n’est pas bien droit a ne marche pas .
Je suis contente de mon achat,je recommande.
Finalmente una gattaiola silenziosa! Abbiamo dovuto modificarla un po’ per installarla ma di alta qualit. Quella che avevamo prima (stessa marca ma modello diverso) era molto pi rumorosa. Finalmente posso fare sogni tranquilli!
Good quality basic manual cat flap. Our 5kg cat uses it comfortably, but it might be a squeeze for a very large cat.
Catflap fine but what is not clear is if you want to put it through a standard wall you need 5 cat tunnel parts also , the tunnel parts are expensive for what they are and you have to tape them together , manufacturers could ease ly make a standard 25cm piece but wouldn’t be able to charge 30 for it .
You also need an adaption plate also ,
Adaption plate should be included in catflap kit as you can’t fit it without one , by doing all the bits separately manufacturer’s profiteering and hiding the true cos
This is the second cat flap in the house. We’ve had the other one (another petsafe) for 10 years and it’s still going but decided we needed one for another door because we have special cats who forget about the flap they just went out of, on the other side of the house, and sit in the rain at the front of the house waiting for us to let them in…..
The main different between this and the other one is the noise. For 10 years I have been woken up up with cats charging through the door like the Lord of Darkness is chasing them for their souls (at this point I do believe they have already lost them anyway) and the “flap, flap, BANG” of the cat head butting the flap at terminal velocity and then the flap hitting the separate plastic lip which in turn forces all of the flap back down is something that awakens me from my dreams, in a heart stopping – someone has broken in, I’m the girl in a horror movie kind of wrenched awake. This one does NOT have the separate lip and the silence is profound. Thank you, thank you.
So I am now going to purchase another of these and restful sleeps be aplenty.
Contrairement d’autres produits, celui-ci est sans danger.
La pose est facile et efficace pour permettre d’arrter de faire le ‘portier’ de nos chers animaux.
Wir sind vollends zufrieden. Die Verarbeitung ist wirklich super und auch die Schablone ist wirklich praktisch. Die Qualitt im Bezug auf die Haltbarkeit knnen wir noch nicht beurteilen, da wir sie erst vor 2 Wochen eingebaut haben. Unser Kater hat keine Probleme mit dem durchkommen und geniet sein Stckchen Freiheit, die er dadurch erreicht hat enorm. Der Verschluss ist eine einfache Plastikscheibe, die natrlich nicht eine sonderlich gute Wrmeleistung bietet, aber das haben wir auch nicht erwartet. Wir sind super zufrieden und finden auch die verschiedenen Einstellungen klasse, obwohl wir bislang nur eine einzige genutzt haben. Auf jeden Fall knnen wir die Klappe ruhigen Gewissens empfehlen.
Little bit on the small side for my fat cats but they manage and it’s tidy, easy enough to put in once you have a hole in the door and it does what it’s supposed to do for a good price. Would buy again.
This cat flap is smaller than I expected but luckily my cats aren’t large! I installed it into a wooden door, it was easy to fit and the cats took to it straight away.
I have cats. I let them out in the morning and lock them in at dusk.
From the moment they had access, they knew how to work the flap.
Another good thing is that if the actual flap becomes cracked, you can buy just the replacement without buying the whole unit.
esonablegood build which works well & is standingup to a good bashing by my large cat!
Je vous conseille cependant de vrifier rgulirement la position du loquet. En effet, il peut lgrement tourner si votre chat prend appui dessus. Il peut se retrouver un peu embt pour passe
Zuerst war ich skeptisch, weil mein Mann dazu unsere Eingangstr bzw. das Glas und die Einfassung zersgt hat, aber es passt zu unserer Tr und er hat super Arbeit geleistet .:-)
Ein leichter Windsto ist zu spren, wenn man seine Hand davor hlt, aber es ist minimal.
I bought this model because I thought it would be easy to swap for the ordinary pet safe flap. Unfortunately the screw holes were all of differing places so needed drilling again. That said, it fitted in the previously cut hole fine.
Works ok but takes a second or so to open and my cat took a little while to get used to it.
Hab die Katzenklappe in ein bestehendes Loch in die Balkontre eingebaut. Musste den passenden Abdeckrahmen dazu bestellen um die ffnung (rundes Loch mit 212 mm Durchmesser) abzudecken was jedoch problemlos funktioniert hat. Bis jetzt alles in Ordnung und auch dicht, keine Zugluft zu spren. Was fr mich wichtig war keine automatik mit Chip oder Sensor. Einfache mechanische Handhabung. Fr den Preis eine empfehlenswerte Katzenklappe.
I absolutely love this. I do not have any more cats coming in my house pinching my cats food. I had a lockable one which was good but other cats could come in. It took a while for my cat to learn how to get in. He is much happier too as he used together stressed with other cats coming in.
un netto passo avanti, bella (la uso con l’adattatore per foro pre esistente + grande) e fa passare poca aria.
si pulisce bene e il meccanismo in – out molto discreto e morbido da usare, la precedente aveva delle alette rosse ai lati, non belle e dure da usare. I gatti si accorgevano quando le usavi volendo ovviamente usare la porta proprio in quel momento…
Il faut donc un peu bricoler pour assembler le tout et finir avec du mastic silicone pour assurer l’tanchit.
En rsum, pas si simple que a monter, mais j’ai une configuration un peu particulire, le montage sur une porte classique doit tre facile. A part a le produit est bien fait, le maintien en place de la trappe par deux aimants semble correct pour ne pas s’ouvrir au moindre coup de vent mais pas trop dur pousser pour le chat.
Reste le plus compliqu : Faire comprendre au chat qu’il doit passer par l…
Il est prfrable de prendre une taille M pour les gros chats.
Facile d’installation, beau design
Seule chose reprocher tait l’envoi : boite non ferme (mme pas de scotch) pas emballe dans un carton, ce qui fait que l’on sait direct quel est le produit et qui aurait pu tre vol facilement sans arrachage … j’ai trouv a moyen mais heureusement elle m’est parvenue entire
An sich eine super katzenklappe. Leider akzeptiert meine Katze nicht die Funktion “nur rein, nicht raus”. Sie hebt die Klappe mit ihren Krallen nach innen hoch und haut ab. Einfach zu schlau mein Ktzchen.
Easy to fix in place and the cats went staright through and back in agian, no problem.
+ Europische Kurzhaar Kater (5Kg) passen durch
– Etwas Luftzug, das nicht verhindert werden ka
bestens geeignet.
Anbauanleitung (Schablone) und der dazu gehrende Schrauben/Dbelsatz sind dabei.
Die Verriegelung sehr stabil und gut gekennzeichnet.
Die Tr schwingt leicht und leise. Der Magnet zieht leicht um bei geringem Druck zu ffnen, aber auch stark genug um ein langes Pendeln zu verhindern.
Fazit Auf jeden Fall klare Kaufempfehlung.
Teaching the cats to use it required a certain amount of patience, as it consited of repeatedly putting the cat headfirst into the aperture so it then scrambled through. It would probably help if you have someone on the other side with a treat to tempt the cat through! Nevertheless, our cats quickly got the hang of it, and we were able to go away secure in the knowledge that the cats could get in and out as necessary, while all our neighbour needed to do was to put food in their bowls morning and evening.
Although it is possible to lock the flap in either or both directions, wehave not done this so far so as not to confuse the cats. There has however been a marked change in their behaviour: where they used to be in at night, they are now out for some or all of the nighttime. I suspect this will change when the winter weather arrives!
Ideal replacement for an earlier model catflap.
The cutout was the same size but 2 new holes had to be drilled for the screws.
The first impression is that the design is an improvement on the earlier manual model.
It is less likely to be broken by a cat in a hurry to return home.
The lock is easier to use.
This cat flap works very well and much better than our other one which kept running out of battery however it is really loud.
Had to return item as it would not fit the existing hole in the door.
Great cat flap dose what it says on the box
The cat flap is good to only allow your pet through, the only downside is it makes quite a loud click noise when the cat activates the unlock, which startles my cat so she is wary to go through.
L’installazione su vetro doppia camera l’ha fatta un vetraio cos come indicato nelle istruzioni. La porta silenziosa, ben isolata anche nelle giornate ventose. Un p piccola per il mo gatto di 6kg ma non si poteva installare una pi grande per la dimensione della porta finestra. Consegna rapida.
Good for the price. Easy to lock/unlock and my cat loves that the door is clear so she can see into the garden even if she doesn’t want to go outside
Apart from the loud clicking of the lock opening every time the cat tries to come in or go out, it works absolutely great!! East to fit. Cat loves to sit by it watching the world go by outside.
We’ve installed these cat flaps in all the houses we’ve lived in and we’ve been happy with them. Cutting the hole in the door is a bit scarey but installing the thing is pretty easy after that. The lock has been reliable for most cats, although a large and persistent tom will eventually manage to push past as it only locks on one side and the flexibility of the flap eventually gives way to force. The one this is replacing actually broke diagonally across the flap due to a heavyweight feline repeatedly breaking in but the new one should hold him off.
Didn’t fit easily into the recommended adapter also needed longer screws even though it was a standard UPVC moulded door. The template seems to cut a larger hole than necessary
Having said that it work well and both cats are fine using i
It fit into the recess of the old model, except the screw holes didn’t match up!
This is a review of the manual locking cat flap, not the microchip style, which is much less prone to technical problems! We have quite an alpha cat in our neighbourhood, so we don’t have any issues with other cats trying to come into our house at the moment, so a manual flap is much less complicated and suits our purposes.
My installed this in place of our older shabbier one and found it simple, following the instructions and had it fitted quite quickly and he was pleased with the fit. It is neat and clean looking – a great improvement on our old one. There was a bit of curious interest with the change from the cat, but in no time it was in use without any problems.
The lock mechanism is okay – fully open, only in or only out, but it’s not the strongest lock in the world. It might just buy you a little time, but I’ve known forceful cats barge through these kinds of locks, so I’m not sure it is fool proof. The flap isn’t silent, but I quite like the sound of the catflap going, so that I know our feline is home (or has gone out!)
This worked quite well. So far it has been reliable and it is still working okay after about a month of use. The product photos are accurate as is the description.
This Is quite durable. It is fairly standard and doesn’t really stand out that much form other cat flaps so I would look closely at the price if I was planning to purchase this.
This ‘PetSafe Manual-Locking Cat Flap with Easy Install, White’ – please note that my review is NOT of the version with the microchip reader – is a basic but good quality plain white cat flap. It was easy to install (aided by the fact it was replacing an old cat flap, so the door already had a hole cut in of the relevant size), and looks good. The lock system is functional and doesn’t rattle much other than in gale force winds, which I don’t think anything much would withstand.
Good basic cat flap.
Sometimes old fashioned tried and tested are the best and I have found that out with this cat flap. This is ideal if you want a simple to install, great value and basic cat flap, nothing fancy here, it opens and closes and you can manually lock it to keep your cat in or out (or others out!) simple, no fuss and looks great when installed. Slightly noisy when opens and closes but you get used to it.
Good quality basic catflap which is easy to install and can be easily and properly locked shut. I’m tired of thinking I’ve locked the flap but finding it open; this one stays shut. Useful paper template for installation.
Does just the job, we have 3 cats and they all use the flap fine.
Easy to install- comes with the relevant sized screws
The cat flap was easy to install and features a manual locking mechanism to keep your cats in and safe at night.
To me it seems sturdy, hard plastic which I imagine will last a while. My cats a bit confused about the change but she’s getting used to it.
Overall no complaints from me, it does what it’s meant to do. Was simple to set up and the locking device works easy for me.
This review is for the pet safe manual setting cat flap.
I purchased this cat flap to replace on old one which had discoloured and gone yellow and was just pretty dirty.
Our cat flap is in the bottom half of a upvc double glazed door. When I took this cat flap out the box it looked very good. Nice white bright and sturdy good quality.
In the box you get a cat flap and a back piece for the outside. There are also screws in the box.
I took out our old flap and surprisingly this fitted perfectly in the existing hole. Even the 2 screws line up almost perfectly. The screws are done from the outside frame. It was generally very easy to install.
Overall quality is very good. It has a number of different manual lock setting including: In only, out only, 2 way, total lock. Our previous flap had the microchip reading tech, which would only allow are cat in. We never actually used that functionality so don’t miss it.
Great product, great price.
Got this to replace our old one, which is a bit tattered and our cat sometimes can knock the front part off from its base. The new manual cap flat looks quite sturdy, made with quality materials. The lock works very well and the design is intuitive. The see-through flap is better than our old frosty one as the cat can see what’s in front of him before he enters or exits. The installation took less than 10 minutes but that’s because we have got one already in situ before. The front end is more compact than our old one so we have to add a few touches of paint to the exposed wall. Once installed, it is very sturdy. Our cat started using it immediately. I guess that’s a yes vote. We have not had issues such as excessive noise, flapping in windy days, or rain water seeping in. Fingers crossed this one will last as long as the previous one, which was more than one life time. Of cat, of course.
We had an earlier version of the cat flap but after 10 years it was very discoloured and the windows were very scratched. This replacement was very easy to install and programmed to recognise our chip.A great way to keep the neighbours cats while letting our own go freely. We have seen the neighbours cats pushing very hard on the door and failing to get in, whilst our cat does not hesitate to use the cat flap!
Got this to replace our old broken one. The hole needed was slightly taller than the one it replaced, but being as this is supplied with a cutting template, this was very easy to sort out.
If this is a new installation on a door, the bottom of the hole is where your cats belly is from the floor on the outside of the door.
The cat flap has a crystal clear window, which helps the cat realise that it is a cat flap, and also, the owner can see if the cat is outside.
The cat flap has 4 modes:
Allow both ways
Allow cat out but not in
Allow cat in but not out
Not allow entrance or exit
Easy to install with just two screws.
These are easy to install into a panel of a UPVC back door (a blank UPVC panel, not a glass panel). I used this to replace a previous cat flap, so I just had to make the hole a bit bigger, but installing these from scratch is easy. Fitting into a UPVC or wooden door panel requires you to cut out a hole using a jigsaw. Fitting this into a brick wall would require cutting a hole through the wall, which would be more difficult. A template for the hole (and screw holes) is provided.
It could be adapted to fit a range of door or wall thicknesses and extensions are available (to buy separately) for very thick walls.
Once installed this looks quite tidy and is easy for the cats to use. You need to consider the height from the floor to the opening, especially on the outside where the ground is likely to be lower than indoors. But most cats are quite agile and will get through if they want to.
It is easy to set the flap to open one way only, open both ways or be completely locked.
It is fairly strong, but a determined and strong cat may be able to force their way through given enough time. For this reason we only rely on the lock to stall our cats escaping, for instance if we need to round them up to go to the cattery, when we grab them and put them into the cat box as soon as they realise the exit is locked. One of our cats forced open a previous cat flap (not this one) and based on experience of a few different types down the years, I doubt if any of them would really stop a determined cat with time on its hands. For this reason, I don’t think one of these would keep a cat locked indoors overnight if it really wanted to go out.
There is no noticeable draft though the cat flap.
It does make a noise when a cat comes through, but no so loud that it can be heard upstairs. It doesn’t disturb us at night and it is good to know when a cat is coming or going.
The model I am reviewing does not have chip recognition, so it will not be selective about which cats it allows through. If you have a problem with other cats coming into your home you may need to consider a different model.
Easy to install and works brilliant kinda hoped it would be bigger but the cat fits through so that’s the main thing
I’ve installed this at my mums for her male cat which fits through it fine. The white colour matches her door perfectly and I’m glad we chose that colours rather than the brown one. There’s a bit of work to install using the supplied template and a few tools. Maybe about half an hour to get it done? I like the variety of options with it – you have 4 locking options, fully locked, unlocked, out only, in only. Ideal to control the comings and goings of your cat. So far the flap’s been secure and he’s taken to it. Both cat and mother are happy.
This works great for us, it is loud as some previous reviewers have mentioned, but that works as a pro for us to let us know when our cats are coming or going.
We have two kittens that love to explore the garden, its really easy for them to get in and out as they please, but I wouldn’t know if it’s any good for keeping other cats out as we have 3 dogs in our yard, so no neighboring cat dares to try.
My friend installed and set it up for me, she said it was really easy and simple.
I am so excited about finally getting a cat door. Good quality, strong, pleasing to the eye. I don’t like my cat out all night so I like knowing once he’s in I can lock up and he’s safely inside. Can’t wait for him to see it. Yes I am that kind of cat lady
Don’t be put off by the negative reviews – they mostly refer to the microchip which in my view is pointless. Yes, there is a risk that aggressive cats from the neighbourhood will come into your house. This has happened to me a few times but a suitable amount of aggression in return has always persuaded the miscreant to stay well away in future.
As for the cat flap itself, I have used them for decades and this is a good one. It is large enough to work with a full size male cat. I suspect those who complained their moggie couldn’t get through have been guilty of overfeeding or else they haven’t allowed enough time for little pussums to learn what a cat flap is for. The only drawback is that, obviously, it makes a hole in your door which future purchasers of your home may not like. But then, they may have a cat…
The cat loves the window on this and will spend ages just looking through it. She’s not that brave and took some persuading to use it and now she is happy enough to. This was the first catflap on this door so some cutting was required. It was OK to install and looks fine. Fingers crossed it works OK, that the cat accepts it and no other moggies can get in.
It was good to be asked to review this as our existing Petsafe cat flap, still working well, but with a broken plastic flap, was looking a little shabby.This was easy to fit (as we had one already) and works perfectly. It’s well packaged and comes with full and easy-to-follow instructions. If you don;t have a whole in your door, of course, you’ll need a drill and a suitable saw – and a lot of nerve (but you needn’t worry – it really is easy to do).
Used to have a magnetic Petsafe catflap but some neighbourhood cats started to get in (also with magnets on their collars) so upgraded to this. It’s excellent, took no time to fit because the hole is the same size as the old staysafe one – even the screw holes. Thought it may be difficult to get the cats to program it but they really don’t need to come too near at all, so we just held it near them and it found their chips immediately. When it locks and unlocks it does make quite a clicking noise but the cats got used to it very quickly. Overall, very happy indeed.
