Compatibility, Size and Fit
The Cat Mate 309 is intended for screen doors, thin panels, UPVC or metal doors, and wooden doors up to 13 mm thick. It is important to match the stated thickness and opening dimensions before fitting. The overall size is 192 mm by 200 mm, so the surrounding door area also needs enough space for installation.
Before You Decide
Confirm the door material, the thickness of the panel and the cut-out size before choosing an offer. Check that the flap opening suits the cat using it, and make sure you want the 4-way locking arrangement rather than a simpler flap.
