SheffLOCK can fit a cat flap in any type of door or window. We will replace your door panel to fit your cat flap so at any time you want to remove the cat flap you have your original fitting.
We can install standard and microchip cat flaps in glass made from moulded plastics which can have a clear or coloured surround.
We can source a new UPVC door panel and cut it to the correct dimensions for fitting your new cat flap. We have installed a cat flap in the upvc door panel shown above which is then secured in your door.
We can do the same for a cat flap in a composite door, by replacing a composite door panel with one that will take the dimensions of the cat flap.
For your home and pet security it is advised to install a microchip cat flap that will open only when your cat is present at the opening. This will stop other cats entering your home.
A replacement microchip cat flap can be fitted in the same space of a standard cat flap with a cat door flap replacement costing much less than a new installation.

Measure your cat across its widest part which maybe either its chest or hips. If you have a young cat allow for growth by adding on a couple of centimetres.
Measure the height of the body from the top of the shoulders to the bottom of the chest. Cat weight up to 5Kg the suggested cat flap opening size is 14 x 12cm, 6Kg cats 14 x 15cm and 7Kg cats 17x17cm openings.
Microchip cat flaps will only work if your cat has been fitted with a microchip or you have a collar key. You will find your cat’s microchip number on your microchip registration form from your vet.
Replacement flaps can be purchased from us if you have the dimensions or product codes available.
