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.

We needed to install a cat flap so that our cats could come and go during our impending holiday. The installation (in this case in a UPVC door) was quite straightforward, and anyone with a little DIY experience should have no problem. The flap looks good, matching the white door, and I used silicone sealant around it to make it watertight.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!

Easy to install. Good tunnel depth for a typical exterior door.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.

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 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.

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...

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 waysAllow cat out but not inAllow cat in but not outNot allow entrance or exitEasy to install with just two screws.

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.

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.

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 cost

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.

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.

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).

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!
