Installation in walls
Where you are making holes through the wall of your property please consult a
qualified builder. Protective clothing (gloves, eye & ear protection etc.) should be
worn when carrying out the installation.
Note: When planning the installation of SureFlap into a wall remember that you may need
to remove SureFlap in the future to replace the door or upgrade to a newer model. With
this in mind do not glue the main assembly of SureFlap to the wall as removing it will be
difficult and could damage the surface of your wall.
For installation of SureFlap in your wall we recommend using the following accessories:
SureFlap – Mounting Adaptor
SureFlap – Tunnel Extender
1) Choose your mounting position on the wall so that your cat has easy access
through the flap and into the tunnel from outside.
Mark a 170mm x 170mm (6.7" x 6.7") square on the wall at the position of the
2)
tunnel.
3) Make the hole through the wall using appropriate tools and ensure that the tunnel
is horizontal. A slight slope downwards from the inside of the house to the
outside will ensure any rain runs out of the tunnel.
4) Apply superglue to the four tabs of the tunnel extender as shown in figure 11 and
fit the tunnel extenders together. When the glue has dried apply weatherproof
tape to the outside of the tunnel as shown in figure 12.
Follow step 4 to bond all of the tunnel extenders together –Remember do not
5)
glue the tunnel extender to the tunnel of SureFlap
joint when you come to it.
Take one of the mounting adaptors and drill 4 holes in it using a 4mm (0.15") drill
6)
bit – these four holes are for the screws that will hold SureFlap
of your house. You can put the four screws where you like around the perimeter
of the mounting adaptor. See figure 13.
7) Now take the two shortest screws from the SureFlap
screw the mounting adaptor to SureFlap as shown in figure 14.
8) Place SureFlap
of your house.
9) Mark the positions for the four screws through the holes you have made in the
mounting adaptor. You will also need to remove some material from the wall to
allow for the screw and washer which hold the mounting adaptor to the main
assembly – this will ensure that the mounting adaptor fits flush with the wall. See
figure 15.
10) Drill the four holes in your wall using an appropriate drill bit to suit the
construction of your wall and your chosen screws.
11) Tape the tunnel extender to the end of SureFlap‟s tunnel as shown in figure 16.
12) Place SureFlap and the tunnel through the hole in your wall and screw it in place
using the four screws through the mounting adaptor – see figure 17.
13) On the outside of your house you will now have the tunnel sticking out of the wall
– take the external frame and other mounting adaptor and place these over the
end of the tunnel.
14) Mark the position of the two screw holes required to mount the external frame
and then drill appropriate holes in the wall.
15) Screw the external frame and mounting adaptor to your external wall
