Fitting a Petflap with a microchip catflap

While we don’t yet have our own microchip Petflap, we can supply a Petflap with extended trunking and, at the indoors end, a standard top-hung microchip catflap. This gives you the draughtproofing of a Petflap and the access control of a microchip.

Your wall will need to be a minimum of about 200mm thick, depending on which microchip catflap you’d like fitted at the indoors end.  You will need a hole 256mm diameter minimum.

Essentially fitting a Petflap into a wall is the same concept as fitting into a door. Additionally, the custom plates with the microchip catflap fitted need to be attached at the indoors end.

The plate with the microchip catflap has a circular groove on its rear that exactly corresponds to the end of the Petflap trunking. Once the Petflap is fitted and secure, sealant is applied to the rear of the plate and the groove slotted over the end of the trunking and the plate pressed against the wall. This secures the microchip catflap in place and completes your unit.

If you already have a microchip catflap fitted we can supply a unit that just has the custom plates with the aperture cut, as in the image of the mixed colour unit here. These units require very accurate wall measurements, and your existing microchip catflap will need to be removed from the wall and refitted into the custom plates.
