Installation Adapter - White

Easy installation, was the permit fit for my cat flap and makes the finish of my cat flap look swanky and very professional. A bit pricey but does a really good job of keeping the draft out.

Likes: didn't take long to install or set the chips on both my cats. Easy.Dislike: sometimes a cats chip travels away from its original injection spot in the neck so it doesn't always allow one of my cats to get in as the recognition strip is right up close to the door.The door allows a huge draft in as the bristles do not touch the outer flap-see pics.Only once has the cat flap gotten stuck open-again see pics.The locking mechanism is very noisy I can hear it upstairs!The round additional add on you can buy isn't actually needed unless you have a class or metal door. I got it as it said it helped with drafts but to be honest with the gab around the cat flap there is no saving this product from a hefty breeze around the house!!!!! Maybe refreshing in the summer but in winter I will need to find a way to modify this to get rid of the draft.No unwanted visitors yet which is what I got this item for so hopefully despite its downfalls I won't be replacing it any time soon.But considering its faults I do feel this is on the pricy side and could come down £15 until they work out the kinks.I wouldn't buy this product again I would have sent it back and got a better quality one but I was in a jam with a Tom coming in and spraying and couldn't wait anymore.

Took the cats a while to get used to it -about 6 weeks, but working well now. They were frightened by the loud clicking noise as it unlocked. My Tom cat struggles a bit to get through it, but if he breathes in.......Gets quite grubby but I guess that’s to be expected. The hole was set high enough in the new double glass panel which we had to have made to allow the adaptor to be set correctly. Unfortunately this did mean we had to build a step outside the door so the cats could actually reach the flap to enter. All a bit messy and expensive with the new double glazing, but definitely worth it.

This really did get me out of a bind with our double glazed back door!

Definitely needed to fit the cat flap and a little fiddly to set up but we were new to this and it did get aligned after a little grumbling.

Relatively reliable product once it’s programmed and far better than a previous mains-powered cat flap that was forever resetting and preventing access.Installations as pretty decent and batteries last as well as can be expected. Although if you have a cat that likes to dither whilst coming through it can rapidly reduce battery life. I always change them before we go away for a weekend etc. just in case.The bigger problem however is that the flap can be fooled by a crafty cat. One of our girls figured out very quickly that if she taps the bottom of the opening repeatedly, the flap will bounce against the draught excluding cushion material enough so that she can hook a paw under it on the rebound and head straight out despite it being on entry mode only.

After being scrammed to pieces to get the cat's chip registered with the pet flap, I had the pleasure of doing it another 2 times due to having 3 cats.1. This is NOT an easy task. WARNING: unless your cat has no claws (and teeth!) This IS going to cause you more pain, stress and trauma than the cat!One of my cats is 18, I thought she was going to have z heart attack she stressed out so much.So after this was done, and my hands, chest and arms were bandaged up, the cats had "forgotten" what the bloody cat flap was for.....2. You need A LOT of patience to show the cat(s) how to use the cat flap.My cats all used them in my previous house, but they all?? seemed to suffer from memory loss.Yes, it had to be raining when this task was done ☹So after gently "assisting" the easiest cat through (so I thought) he sort of fell out with a plop the other side, which did make me feel slightly better after my skin being shredded.However, coming back in was a whole new story.3. My cats enter the flap PAWS FIRST. They sed to nudge the flap open with the paw, the dive through. However the flap wont allow them to do that as it has to read the chip.Eventually the cat got annoyed - he was drenched from sitting dow, just looking at the flap. Working out a plan to get in maybe?)He decided my more to less force his way in head first. Hurrah, I thought, he's got it.NO......My clever boy had worked out how to use the flap, but his chip isnt in his neck, its moved further down....He head butted the flap (3 times) and still couldn't get in.I sat in horror. I had spent £60+ on the cat flap and adaptor and £180 for it all to be fitted in a double glazed patio door (I had to buy a new panel of double glazing for the cat flap to be installed).I pressed down the grey "security" buttons which stopped the cat flap from opening unless the microchip was detected, and called the cat in.Whilst waiting for him to regain partial consciousness, my other cat loving came up to me looked at the flap and delicately jumped through. Why didn't I choose her instead??So now I have 2 cats outside. One soaking wet and one just realising it was raining and sitting there for me to open the door.I decided to see what happened with this cat. She entered the cat flap head first, and was in! Result! Yay!I picked her up hugged her and her claw swiped me again. Joy... 😑😑So, the end result is I paid £240+ for a crap cat flap unit that sometimes works, depending on which cat goes through.I have sellotaped the grey buttons down - taking all microchip security away (I could have bought a normal cat flap for £15!) so my boy cat can use it.The older cat is still too traumatized to even venture through it! Litter tray is still required. 😪☹💩NOTE:1. Please make sure your cat's chip is near the head.2. Please make sure you have plasters and tissues on hand3. Even better... oven gloves!4. Have patience... good luck!5. A towel to dry the cat if they are out there (for days?) trying to work out how to get back inI personally don't think it's worth the money.Do I recommend it? NO!!

great idea as my neighbour has a cat and is a bit too friendly, works well and keeps heat in as flap locks when not in use (no flapping) however batteries only last around 2 months so bear this in mind and if cat comes in lazily (as mine sometimes does) the flap doesn't flap back fully to lock
