PetSafe, Microchip Activated Cat Flap, Exclusive Entry, Easy Install, 4 Way Manual Locking, Energy Efficient, Draught Excluder, Convenient - White

I bought this last year. I installed it into a piece of plywood and then installed the plywood into a window that is rarely used. My cat needs to jump up on fixed items to reach the platform next to the door and can then use the door to go in and out. This does not prevent raccoons from getting at the door but they aren't interested in climbing up to the platform so there is a degree of deterrence. They don't know what's up there so they leave it alone. The other cats in the area cant get into the house and sit at the door with a sad face waiting for my cat to go back outside. :D It's pretty comical. I may consider buying another door if the price comes back down a little. I could use this additional door at a secondary access point in the house, installed in reverse to keep kittens inside until they get chipped like their mom. Dual purpose.One suggestion: I use Switchbot products. One product I tried to install on the door was a door sensor. Since the door is curved, it was difficult to mount the base unit and sensor unit. The sensor unit fell off. The curved door is a design feature for the animal but if there was a small flat surface on the inside portion to mount a Switchbot door sensor, that would be helpful. The sensor lets me know when the cat goes in and out. Cheers.

The hose is perfect for porch use. As when it's not in use, will not take up a lot of space.

The features of this product which include scheduling timing and amount of food, Camera vision of the pet and surroundings, microphone to talk with your pet work well, are easily programmed or reprogrammed. 5/5 for the features and price.

First off, I rarely write reviews, but I think this product deserves a review.I have 3 cats that spend time indoors and outdoors. It became a routine opening and closing doors all day long to let them in or out.I took the chance to invest in this item as I'm from the Caribbean and wasn't sure if the chips we use would work. I prefer not to use the collar with chip to avoid them getting tangled or loosing the easy release collars.I first contacted the vet to see if the chips match the codes provided in the summary on Amazon, but she wasn't sure. I went ahead and purchased the cat door and up until now I'm not disappointed.My cat's come and go as they please, and they complain far less, one cat in particular is very vocal about her wants. Installing this door has given her and the other two a piece of mind, not to mention my entire family😃.The only downside is how loud it unlocks, my reason for deducting a star. My cats also found it difficult to push through the door due to the strenght of the magnets, and how loud it bangs close once they enter or leave. One cat was discouraged by the sounds, so after some researching, I made some minor modifications.I removed one of the magnets and added a small sponge to the flaps where it hits when closing. As you can see in the picture I left one battery out to avoid them hearing the loud clicks when approaching the door. I will install the batteries once they are more comfortable using the door. I had to pin the door open the first couple days and place their food next to it, for them to get comfortable with the idea they can leave the house through it. They are slowly figuring out how to use it, however, they are not used to pushing with their heads so they use their paws to open it a little then walk through. I have to remind one cat occasionally how to use it by physically pushing her head gently against the door, but she's getting there.I installed it in 8 inch blocks, so I needed the additional accessories.It has only been 5 days, so I will give them about a week more before trying it with the batteries.Seriously this cat door is a game changer, my cat's are so quiet and seems much more stress free.I hope this review helps someone.

The sensor is poorly placed. I really wanted to give this 5 stars. The sensor for the microchip is deep inside the door and when installed it won't read the chip in the cat. It can be difficult to program and the instructions that came with it aren't helpful. We ended up taking it completely apart and moving the sensor several inches just so it wasnt a complete loss. A manual from the manufacturer did help. It does have 4 functions for locking as far as entry/exit. Check the dimensions, it's snug for what the vet assures me is a normal sized cat. Good luck! If your cats chip is on its head this will work for you

Exact replacement for a 20 year old door

It looks nice installed, classy. Didn't take long 7 business day to receive from overseas. The first one lasted 6 years before the cats broke the swing door hinge. The plastic flap was in direct sunlight most of the day and became brittle, and broke at the adjoining bracket. No fault of the flap I think.
