Default Metric Doors and Cat flaps

Here's an odd one for you.

Being new to the self build game when I ordered a frame for for the
back door - just ordered a metric weatherstripped frame from Jeld-Wen
a FNS. The operative word here is METRIC, so the frame only accepts a
2000 x 807 door. I know now that the Imperial frame route would have
opened up a world of possibilities ;-)

Apart from the f&*king expensive Jeld-Wen catalogue no-one else seems
to do metric doors.... Anybody got any suggestions?

Also this mythical door is going to need to have a cat flap installed
- I'm quite capable of doing this myself - but one pre-installed would
save a job.

However the concern I have is that a door that has a panel in, so that
it is capable of having a cat flap put in, is surely a security risk.
I don't mean that the catflap itself is a security risk - just need to
remove the keys from the door to get round that one. My concern is
more that a panel at the bottom of the door surely can be just kicked
in by a burgling scumbag.

Anyone think of a solution to my metric, cat related security
problem?!

[Getting rid of the cat is not a valid solution.....!]
