Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires no specialized tools, as the pressure-fit system utilizes tension bolts at each corner. Before purchasing, measure the width of your opening carefully to ensure it fits the 75cm to 83cm range. When installing, tighten the tension bolts evenly until the gate is rigid and centered. Check the tension periodically, as environmental changes or accidental bumps may cause the gate to loosen over time. To clean the unit, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that could scratch the finish or damage the locking mechanism. Ensure the cat flap hinges remain clear of debris to prevent sticking.
