Overview
A cat flap door with a 6.25 by 6.25 inch flap opening and a 4 way lock, built from plastic in a white frame. Rated for pets up to 12 pounds and fitted to doors or walls between 1.25 and 1.75 inches thick.
The 4 way lock lets an owner set the flap to swing both ways, one direction only, or stay locked closed, which matters for households wanting to restrict a cat's access overnight. The size and weight rating point this at smaller cats rather than large cats or dogs sharing the same access.
- 6.25 by 6.25 inch flap opening
- Fits doors 1.25 to 1.75 inches thick

- Four way locking flap
Who it's for
Fits owners of a single small cat, or households wanting control over access through an interior or exterior door up to about 1.75 inches thick. Not sized for large cats or dogs given the 12 pound weight capacity.
