The Cat Mate Elite 2" Wall Liner is an essential accessory for your Cat Mate Elite Series cat door, providing a seamless and secure installation within your wall. Designed to be compatible with Cat Mate Elite models 305, 306, 307, 355, 358, 359, and 360, this wall liner ensures a precise fit and long-lasting durability.
Constructed with a heavy-duty design, the 2" wall liner creates a waterproof tunnel within your wall, protecting its interior from moisture damage while offering a leak-free passage for your feline friend. This practical feature prevents water infiltration, keeping both your home and pet safe and comfortable.
Accurate measurement of your wall thickness is crucial to ensure the proper fit of the wall liner. Each 2" liner extends the framing of your Cat Mate door, and depending on your wall thickness, you may need to purchase multiple liners. For example, if your wall is 7" thick, you will require liners to frame up to 8" and trim it down (you would need 3 liners for 8", each liner adds 2" to your cat door's original 2").
The wall liner's surface is paintable, allowing you to customize its appearance to match your home's decor. This gives you the freedom to tailor the look of your cat door installation, enhancing the aesthetics of your living space.
Simplify the installation process of your Cat Mate Elite Series door with the Cat Mate Elite 2" Wall Liner. Its durable construction, waterproof design, and customizable appearance make it an invaluable addition for any pet owner looking to give their furry friend the freedom to roam.
Note: For installation, washers are required for the placement of the screws. Washers are not provided in this purchase.

Step 1 Prepare for Rough Cut Out
- Make sure that you measure the thickness of your wall and have the correct number of wall liners needed before making any rough openings in your wall.
- For the bottom of the cut-out, make sure that it is level with your pet’s belly to ensure comfort when in use.
- Next you will have to make a rectangular cut out in the wall that is 7” wide by 8” high. Using a level and pencil, mark the outside lines of your cut-out on the wall. Then check one more time that the line is straight and level.
Step 2 Make the Rough Cutout
- Now you will want to cut the hole out, by first cutting the interior wall and then removing any insulation.
- Next, drill holes from the inside through the exterior wall and use those as pilot holes for the outside cut. Be sure to remeasure on the outside for accuracy.
- Tape up the inside hole with plastic sheeting before cutting the outside wall. This will make clean up much easier.
- Cut out the exterior wall.
Step 3 Prepare the Frames
- Take the pet door and remove the battery cover.
- Remove the interior frame cover entirely by taking out the two screws on the backside of the frame. Then remove the two screws that are under the battery cover.
- Remove the metal screw clips on the back using pliers.
- Take the wall liners and fit them onto the flap frame whose cover you previously removed.
- The manufacturer recommends pushing them together firmly, but glue can be used if you feel it would be more secure.
Step 4 Secure the Frames
- The screw holes should be visible about halfway down the left and right side of the frame. You will need to put a washer under each screw.
- Take the frame and screw it to the wall, putting the liners through the cut-out.
- Put the inside frame cover back on using the screws you removed and replace the battery cover. Make sure that you do not trap any of the electrical wires.
- Finally, fit the exterior frame on using two of the 1” screws. Then fit the hole covers and you are finished.
FAQ
What home improvement projects could I do to change the color of my wall liner and Cate Mate cat door?If it's a paintable material, the exterior of your cat door can be painted to match the aesthetics of your home decor. You can also look into adding wood paneling or wall murals or other types of wallcoverings as a fun weekend DIY project.

However, we could not recommend adding unpasted or prepasted wallpaper liner as your pet's claws will cause noticeable wear and tear. |
