Can this be installed through a wall?

How do you install this cat door on a metal door?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 19, 2023
Doors constructed with metal panels may reduce the range of the microchip reader. You may test for metal panels by drilling a small trial hole in the middle of the intended cat flap location. For UPVC/metal doors it is essential to cut a larger hole than for wooden doors and to retune the cat flap as follows: Place exterior frame in desired position on door. We recommend the bottom of the aperture is approximately 150mm (6") above ground level. If you must fit higher consider providing a step to help your cat enter. Draw around the OUTSIDE of the frame. Using an electric jigsaw cut 12mm (1/2") INSIDE the line. Determine thickness of door panel. Position interior frame on inside of door and screw exterior frame to it by using appropriate screws for panel thickness. If necessary, cut supplied screws to length. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS which may prevent the flap from closing properly - use a manual screwdriver. Finally fit two screw caps. Remove batteries for a minimum of 2 minutes after installation. This will enable the cat flap to retune itself to its new location. Please refer to the manual for more information.

What microchips (brands) does this flap work with?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 27, 2022
The Cat Mate Elite Super Selective I.D. Disc Cat Flap is not compatible with implanted microchips and will only work with the Cat Mate ID discs.

How well does this hold up to raccoons

Answer by Chewy • Sep 25, 2018
This pet door is designed to keep unwanted animals out. As soon as your cat walks through the door, the bottom of the door lines up with the locking pins quickly locking and shutting the flap.

Our cats are the only ones with access.

The programing instructions are too confusing. Hire an editor after they have programmed it for two cats.

Since I only needed the timer to keep the cats inside at night, I taped one of the tags to the door - and it works great. I also disabled the Eon feature (it’s not clear what this extra security does mechanically). The setup takes time, it’s confusing, and somewhat illogical - so relax and open a bottle of wine.

Good door with lots of features and awfully confusing interface

I installed this door a couple of weeks ago and can report a bit. Installation was straightforward and no surprises there. The door has tons of features providing abundant control over what cats can go in or out, and when. So I have only two complaints about this unit: 1) The controls provided to set everything up are beastly complicated, and the button combinations you need to use at any given are generally not remotely intuitive. 2) The buttons you need to press to program the unit are VERY stiff and are mounted on the same circuit board as the LCD display. As a result, pressing a button with the required force consistently causes the LCD display to warp and go all splotchy. While I personally do not plan to interact with the controls much now that it is set up, anyone who will need to reprogram the thing regularly for any reason will likely see the board or the display eventually crack. Lastly, I have not yet managed to convince my beats to use the thing yet, but success on that front is very subjective so your mileage may vary. P.S. Below is a pic of my setup... I popped out a pane of glass on my door, and installed a pair of PVC panels in its place that I cut a hole in for the door. The result was a bit high off the ground so I fabbed a PVC riser box outside, and improvised an indoor step :-)

I gave it 2 stars because this is the 2nd one that I bought. Other one is working fine.

The sticky door. Love the tags though

This was a replacement for my original one. The new door sticks terribly.

Great concept in theory

The door was easy enough to install, a little more tricky to program, but able to be accomplished. The biggest hurdle is not only getting your cat to not run away

The door was easy enough to install, a little more tricky to program, but able to be accomplished. The biggest hurdle is not only getting your cat to not run away at the loud unlocking noise of the door, but to also persuade the cat to push hard enough to overcome the door's default position. We haven't given up yet, but I fear the end is near.

It makes a loud electronic noise and the discs are two big.

One of our cats figured it out, but the noise scared the other one. The discs are two big and make noise. We are going to try the electromagnetic door instead.
