Honest & Helpful –
One of my cats managed to try and propel himself through the old flap that was locked at the time – it being -4 or 5 outside the old flap was a little brittle and cracked near a hinge. Searching online for a replacement flap soon proved more expensive than replacing the whole unit (shame on Staywell for making and selling them in this way – they should be looking to reduce plastic use, not encourage it!). This one was ordered and delivered within Amazon’s standards and was quickly fitted in place of the damaged unit. What was nice to see, is that the dimensions had not been tweeked to cause problems fitting it with the new one being some 5 years older than the old.With the basic four way control it works as expected (our cats are supremely capable of shedding a collar with a magnetic key and the risk of battery failure on a sensor type not something I would welcome) there is no problem with the cats using it.

For anyone in doubt, if you are installing this in to a normal door (not a thick wall etc) then go for the one with the tunnel. I was worried that the tunnel some how connects or slots in to the outside face plate but it doesn’t. The outside face plate goes around the tunnel. So if the tunnel is too long then it will simply stick out a little on the outside of the door…the face plate however will be flush with the door. This just gives the cat a little more room to stick their head out so wouldn’t look too weird. My door is 4.5cm thick and the outside face plate is around 1 cm thick so the tunnel pretty much matches up flush with the outside face plate. Now my understanding of the one without the tunnel is that you’ll get an inside face plate (the side that has the flap) and an outside face plate. The problem with this is that your cat will have to step over the cut surface in the middle of your door. If you have a solid wood door, this might not be a problem, although it might help protect the door if the cut middle is covered with the tunnel. If like me you have a door with a void in the middle then the tunnel will cover this whilst the one without won’t. More so, my door is metal with a foam centre. Having the tunnel means there should be no chance of the cat coming in contact with the rather rough cut edge of the door. For anyone in doubt…the tunnel is firmly part of the inside face plate. You can’t remove it and it would be a pain to cut shorter. You shouldn’t need or want to cut it anyway but that was something I considered when I was looking at both options so thought it might help someone. If the tunnel was too short for any reason, I don’t think that would be an issue either. It would simply cover up some of the cut surface and just not all of it. If you need a really long tunnel then I believe the one without the tunnel to start with can have tunnel bits added on where the one that comes with the tunnel to start with cannot have extended tunnel bits added. Other than that, it’s a decent enough cat flap, seems to have a magnetic bit to help hold it closed so the wind doesn’t blow it open and looks smart enough on the door. Instructions are clear enough and it comes with a handy template to work out where to cut.

I bought this to replace a really old cat flap that had broken. I hoped ,as it was the same make, it would be the same size and screw into the same holes. It did fit well (nice and snug) but the screw holes don’t line up with the old ones. As I don’t have a drill I haven’t been able to secure it properly yet. For this reason I can’t comment on the locking feature as the cat can just push the whole thing out if it’s locked. I only know this as my daughter locked it and I later walked in to the kitchen to find the cat flap laying on the floor.I am pleased with the cat flap though and will be even more so once I can borrow a drill.
nelly know all –
Replaced same cat flap as cat had cracked flap when it was locked, trying to escape, He knew he was going to the vet. One of the easiest jobs ever. Simply unscrew 2 screws on old flap, wipe cat hair & muck away from opening, put new flap in place & screw together with new screws in same place as old cat flap. Didn’t even take me 5 minutes.Even starting from scratch cutting hole instructions are excellent.Better value & easier than simply replacing flap itself.Highly recommended basic cat flap for the money. Definitely would buy again.

This catflap seems fairly well made and the locking system works well, however it takes quite a lot of force to open and I’ve yet to see any of the cats do it successfully. For now we have to push it open for them to get in which is rather inconvenient.Hopefully with time they’ll learn to do it themselves, but I think the magnet needs to be weaker so they don’t have to use so much force to get in/out.Edit: all the cats did eventually learn how to use it (including the neigbourhood cats). We’ve had it installed for quite some time now and it works great.

A replacement for one removed from the wall by a dog who doesn’t know how to use a door….even when it’s open for him.

This was to replace a 27 year old version of the same cat flap which was so good we basically just wanted the same thing again. Al our cats have got on with it and the lock is great if you want to let them go out but not come in or vice versa or want to lock it completely for any reason. We lock ours on bonfire night or if any of them have had surgery for instance.

Fits perfectly in a PVC door. If you are looking for durability this probably isn’t it. I am sending a similar one back for the same problem which meant my old one broke – if you have older cats who are strong they will literally just barge through the unit if you lock it. I used to keep my cats in at night so they dont stray or fight but they decided to go out anyway and left this in pieces. The only thing that stops them doing this is the magnetic strip is way too strong so they assume it’s locked and start pulling the whole thing apart trying to get out. I take the magnetic strip away and it still functions as a cat flap but is a bit rattly

It is good that the model remains the same, it is so easy to remove the old flap, the hole cut into the door is perfect fit for the new one, then just fix the two screws and all done.It is unfortunate there is no intermediate size tunnel. Model ‘without tunnel’ leaves a gap, model ‘with tunnel’ has significant excess tunnel and this tends to be the bit that breaks and gets damaged.

Really pleased. The staywell 17 cat flap I had was 15+ years old so the plastic was brittle and breaking off and the rubber around flap was perishing meaning it wouldn’t open or shut properly.Research said that this new Petsafe Staywell flap was the newer model of the previous one. So crossed my fingers and ordered. Was a simple 5 minute job – unscrewed the old one, took out, put new one in and screwed back up. Perfect fit, screw holes in same place. Cats can now come in and out safely and I know the won’t get stuck out again. Plus they are enjoying seeing each other and playing cat wars through the flap.
