Why it matters

A 4-way lock sets fully open, fully closed, in only or out only.

Limitations to weigh
- Measure your cat's widest point and the door or wall thickness before cutting; check the cut-out size on the maker's template.
- Use breakaway collars and keep a spare key.
- Prop the flap open for the first days and reward your cat for using it; most cats learn within a week.
