Cat Mate Lockable Cat Flap, Easy Installation in UPVC Doors, and Wooden Doors - White

For the last 10 years I have used a standard semi circle cat flap by a well known brand, it has a magnetic strip the full length of the cat flap door so the wind whistles between the very slight gap that is between the magnetic strips on the frame and door. I read about on draught proofing a cat flap and such but there didn't seem to be any good options for it back then.In any case I have refitted the kitchen recently so bought a new flap just to make the place look nicer, to my surprise given the price, this is a very well made cat flap. It looks lovely, and there is no brrrrrreeze getting through it but for the sake of two very very tiny pinholes of draft where the hinges are but it is to all intents and purposes, draught proof. Indeed it just went through a windy storm across the UK without issue, magnets small but firm enough and with a good fit so the gap is absolutely minimal where I cannot feel air movement, and the brush fabric around the rest of the flap where the magnet isn't, keeps the heat in and cold out.For the small price, good cat flap. Should be the basic standard for them all to follow as a baseline but sadly not.Oh, p.s. It is fine for big mogs, my male cat is near 7kg, fits fine. He's not fat, just a beefy cat, terrified of kittens.

Fabulous product… easy to fit if you know what you are doing! Good youtube installation videos if you need them… Frank the cat loves it and now he has total freedom!!!

Purchased this cat flap having as we had moved and needed to fit a flap in our new house. Having previously had a cat mate flap which had served us well we decided to go for another one. This time we needed a flap to fit in the utility room window as our doors are extremely thick hard wood. Its a nice sturdy product, it was easy to fit and the template was of a good design which made it easy to cut out and fit a wooden surround into the window cavity as we has to remove a small pane of glass to put the cat flap in. We have had this product for two months now and so far it has served us well. The door in the flap is a good fit and the brushes and magnetic seal stop it from coming open in the wind and also stop any wet coming in when it is raining. We live quite high up in a direct line from the sea with just open country side between the window the flap is fitted in and the sea. This means we get the full force of the weather here with driving rain and high winds, previously owned catflaps have rattled, leaked and blown open in houses we have lived in which were more sheltered than this one.The only reason i have only given this product four stars is that the sliders to lock / unlock the flap are very stiff and hard to use, if you were elderly, weak or arthritic you might find it impossible to lock/ unlock. Having said that it does mean that the cat once shut in cannot knock the slider across and let itself back out.The flap door itself is tinted glass which means that it doesn't show up the dirt spashes so much, it also looks quite small but appearances can be deceiving. Our very large tom cat goes in and out of it easily and unfortunatly still has enough room to drag rats through it, quite how he manages to get them four foot up to the window without dropping them is a mystery.

Simple to fit, works very well, seems quite durable. The locking features are particularly useful.

We wanted a slightly larger cat flap to install on our new solid oak internal door, allowing our cats to move freely around the house once they come in from outside. The cat flap came with a template, was easy to install, and worked like a dream. The profile of the cat flap is really slim and not bulky at the edges, making it look more seamless when fitted into the door. It's well-made and large enough for the biggest cats. I would thoroughly recommend this product and so would my cats.

I have fitted this for a customer and it was easy to fit and well made. The locks work well and they are easy to use. Good value.

I am glad I decided to get my cats a cat flap, however it was difficult to fit and unless you only have a thin door the two sides don’t fit together and the lock doesn’t work.

Great price and easy to fit (need a jigsaw or smaller saw to cut the door of course). Would recommend no problem!

Nicely packaged, feels like a high-quality product… instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. The only change that I would make is that the instructions say to use a 5/8 drill bit for the screws holding the frame to the door, but the holes thus created are too wide for the screws provided. Operates quietly and looks very nice.

Ahora mis gatos pueden salir a su Catio con comodidad y a la hora que quieran. Antes solo cuando la puerta estuviera abierta podían salir.

The door is good quality better than the local talent for sure

Great quality product. Had tried a different one in its place that was constantly being blown open by the wind. This one is keeping the air out even in -20°C so far. Very happy with my purchase. Now my cat can have 24/7 access to her catio year-round

I like the brown colour with the smoky plexiglass, very classy!
