The SureFlap mounting adaptor is useful when installing the SureFlap Microchip Cat Door into glass, walls and certain door types.
This accessory allows mounting in holes ranging from 8½" to 10¼" diameter.
Each mounting adaptor includes two parts, one for the interior and one for the exterior of your home.
When mounting the SureFlap Microchip Cat Door in a glass pane, your
glazier will generally cut a circular hole, leaving open areas around
the corners of your cat door. The SureFlap mounting adaptor covers
these open areas, preventing loss of heat from your home and providing a
clean, neat finish to your installation. You can view our glass
installation video and download step-by-step glass installation
instructions here.
The mounting adaptor overcomes the inherent problems of installing a
cat door directly into a wall and full wall installation instructions
can be found here or on page 9 of the User Manual.
This installation technique avoids the use of messy adhesives, which
can make removing your cat door at a later date a potentially difficult
exercise. It also means that you do not have to drill through any part
of your cat door during installation.
The SureFlap microchip cat flap has been designed as a drop-in
replacement for most existing cat flaps. However, in some instances you
may find that the hole left by your previous cat flap is larger than
the hole required for SureFlap. The SureFlap mounting adaptor provides a
neat way to cover such a hole.
