Cat Mate Standard Locking Cat Flap - Brown 304B
Product Description
Cat Mate 304B Brown Locking Cat Flap – For Thin Doors & Panels
The Cat Mate 304B Brown Locking Cat Flap is a practical slimline cat door designed specifically for thin timber doors, uPVC panels and lightweight panels up to 13mm (½") thick.
Finished in an attractive brown colour, the Cat Mate 304B is a good choice for brown, woodgrain and timber doors where a white cat flap may look out of place. Its transparent flap and straightforward locking control provide a simple, reliable solution for everyday cat access.
Designed for Thin Doors & Panels
Unlike deeper self-lining cat flaps, the Cat Mate 304B is designed for relatively thin installations. Its slim profile makes it particularly useful where only a shallow fitting depth is available.
Suitable applications can include:
- Thin timber doors
- uPVC door panels
- Lightweight panels
- Garden shed doors
- Garage side doors
- Suitable screens and thin partitions
The Cat Mate 304B is suitable for installation thicknesses of up to approximately 13mm (½ inch).
Simple Locking Cat Flap
The Cat Mate 304B is designed for owners who want a straightforward cat flap without complicated access controls or electronics.
The locking control provides two basic settings:
- Open – allows your cat to enter and leave freely.
- Locked – prevents the flap opening for entry or exit.
This makes it easy to give your cat outdoor access during the day and secure the flap when you want your pet to remain indoors.
Brown Cat Flap for Timber & Woodgrain Doors
The brown finish makes the Cat Mate 304B particularly suitable for darker doors and panels, including many timber, mahogany, rosewood and brown woodgrain finishes.
The transparent flap allows your cat to see through the opening and helps the product maintain a discreet appearance once installed.
Slimline Cat Flap Design
The shallow construction is one of the main advantages of the Cat Mate 304B. It provides a neat installation without the unnecessary depth associated with cat flaps designed for thicker doors or walls.
This makes the 304B especially useful when replacing an existing cat flap in a thin panel or when installing into a lightweight door.
