PetSafe Microchip Cat Door - Exterior or Interior Cat Flap - Multi-User RFID Access for up to 40 Pets - 4-Way Locking, Weatherproof, DIY Easy Install - White

bought one in June 25 , my cat did at first find it strange , was reluctant to use it, she got better, this year march 26 something strange happened to the cat-flap it stopped opening from outside :-( . contacted Petsafe direct we had a good understanding of the problem and with 3 weeks i had a replacement. :-) the cat-flap does work well , glad we bought it. Thank you Petsafe for your prompt response.

Excellent and the dark brown is very discreet in the glass panel. However the correct setting, my cat refuses to come back in . Hopefully she will figure it out… at least no more neighbours cats eating her food!

Good product, double lock good.Our previous one had centre lock, which had a nuisance cat break. Easy to install. Only criticism, delay on locking when cat enters house, if a cat is tailing your cat, the tailer cat can enter, as takes about 7-8 seconds to lock. If your cat is of nervous dispersion, the lock is quite noisy, just to be aware.

Easy to install in existing circular hole in a glass door without the adaptor, though some of the black sealing tape for the double glazing does show (see photo, highlighted it in red), so if you are bothered by aesthetics, use the adaptor. It has two locking mechanisms which makes it more secure than most other designs which have just one mechanism on one side. there is also nothing for cats to grab on to in order to pull the flap open. Some people have mentioned a cold draught round the door of the flap, yes, it is there but makes no difference to the inside temperature as the air leak is so small. It makes a loud click, which is off-putting to one of our cats but it hasn't stopped her from using the pet door. It feels solid and has been worth fitting, the only cat ingress to the house has been when one of ours comes in slowly and leaves the flap partially open. Adding some weight to the door has largely solved that.

Finally got around to replacing the manual cat flap with this automatic one and it was a complete waste of time. Followed the instructions closely, registered my cats microchip to the sensor by "persuading" my cat to put his head through it before it was installed - took a while as it was hard to get him into a position to read the chip. Got the confirmation from the device that the microchip was successfully registered, the lock opened and I was good to go. So I then installed it, confident it would work, however it didn't. When my cat approached from outside, he put his head in the tunnel, the LED turned green to say it detected movement, however that was it - he pushed his face right up against the flap and it still didn't read the chip. My cat is quite large, around 6kg, so maybe this cat flap just isn't suited to the larger cat as the chip doesn't get close enough to the sensor to be read in day to day use.

Worked perfectly with petsafe cat flap also purchased

I found the Cat Mate Microchip Activated Cat Flap (360) very easy to set up. Registering the microchip was straightforward, and the installation into a wooden door was a breeze thanks to the included paper guide — a really helpful touch. Functionally, it does exactly what it promises: keeps out uninvited neighbourhood cats and only allows registered pets inside. However, size-wise, it may not suit all cats. My cat, a 4.5kg male domestic shorthair, had some trouble getting his back legs through the flap comfortably. It seemed just a bit too snug for his frame, and we got some memorable videos of it. On the other hand, my sister's Turkish Angora had no such issues, so she’s now happily using it instead. It’s a great product if your cat is on the smaller or average side. For longer or taller cats, I’d recommend looking into a slightly larger model — which I did, and now my cat uses his with no trouble at all. Still, this is a solid, well-designed flap that does its job well. Just be sure to consider your cat’s size before purchasing.

I wasn’t sure how my cats would take to this, but I need not have worried. They both tried it out before I had finished installing it and are happy that a neighbour’s cat can’t gain access. Fitting was straight forward.
