Give your furry pal a safe way to get inside while keeping unwanted guests out with the SureFlap Microchip Small Dog & Cat Door. Just like giving your pets their own house key, this flap door is smart enough to know who’s allowed in and who’s not. It works by picking up on the unique microchip or collar tag on your dog or cat, and only opens to let him in, while staying closed for all other animals. Simply program in your pets’ microchips with just one button―you can store up to 32 pets in the system―and install on any door, window or wall. Perfect for large cats and small dogs, it features multiple modes to control when your furry ones go in and out, including a curfew mode that locks or unlocks automatically at a set time. It’s compatible with all microchips and includes one RFID collar tag to use if your pal isn’t microchipped.

We recommend you use Sure Petcare products in conjunction with your pet's implanted microchip so that they don't need to wear a collar. However, Sure Petcare products can be used with a Sure Petcare RFID Collar Tag that is unique if your pet is not microchipped.
The Micorchip Pet Door, the Microchip Pet Door Connect and the Microchip Pet Feeder come with one collar tag supplied.
Collar tags are not supplied with the Microchip Cat Flap and the DualScan Microchip Cat Flap and can be purchased separately.
The serial number of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap and the SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Flap can be found on the underside of the battery compartment lid.
The serial number of the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door and Microchip Pet Door Connect can be found on the underside of the button compartment lid.
The serial number of the SureFeed products (Microchip Pet Feeder & Sealed Pet Bowl) can be found on the underside of the product.
The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap and the DualScan Microchip Cat Flap operate using 4 AA (1.5V) batteries.
The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door, SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder & SureFeed Sealed Pet Bowl operate using 4 C cell (1.5V) batteries.
We recommend the use of good quality, alkaline batteries in order to give the longest lifetime. We do not recommend the use of rechargeable batteries with Sure Petcare products.
The batteries on your SureFeed product should last a minimum of 6 months with normal use. This battery life is expected when using good quality, non-rechargeable, alkaline batteries.
Use SureFlap Dog & Cat Door Mounting Adapter for installation in glass doors, windows, or walls.
This larger electronic pet door is superior to the smaller model found on other websites, also manufactured by the Sureflap company. This one is large enough for our big cat, and it's great that it has many possible modes. In particular, the mode where the locks will stay open for 10 seconds after triggered by the pet is worth the price. It took 2 months of patient training for our big cat to get used to it. At first we ran it so that the locks would not trigger, because the sound would scare him. Then we set it to trigger, but kept the latches taped down, so it would still function either direction without needing to be triggered. That got him used to the sound of the latches. For the last 3 weeks, we've run it fully enabled, and he's using it like a champ. For our purposes, it's just to keep all but one of our indoor cats from getting into the garage, where one cat's box and hangout is located. He's a good boy, and will not get into trouble in the garage, but the other cats would, and they could also escape if the garage door is opened. Highly recommended! Other reviewers have complained that the mechanism does not work in both directions. Because a "tunnel" is required to detect an RFID tag, the door would require two tunnels to detect chips in both directions. That would significantly add to the cost of the unit. If you want to have a two-way system, you're going to have to have some sort of an "airlock," and install two of these units, one on one side, the other on the other side, oriented so that they face in opposite directions.
This would be awesome if there was a way to set sensitivity. As it is, it requires my pet to press her head literally against the flap for at least 2-3 seconds before it clicks to unlock. She's not learning how to come back in through it because she doesn't understand. The sensitivity needs to be turned up substantially. As it is, it's a waste of money.
We’ve used this door for about a year to ensure that our outdoor cats can access their enclosed, climate controlled porch - and we love it! They learned how to use the door almost immediately and seemed happy they no longer had to share the food dish with the neighborhood possums or raccoons. A couple weeks ago, we thought the door had finally been outsmarted by an enterprising raccoon- but no! It had one more trick up its sleeve that has kept the little trash pandas off the cats’ porch. There is a setting that still allows the cats to access the porch normally, but when any animal without an approved microchip tries to pull the door open, the outer locks engage and prevent entry. Once the would-be intruder leaves, the outer locks retract, leaving only the regular, inner ones. Brilliant! We don’t use the curfew/timer settings, so I can’t speak to that, but I can say this door has absolutely surpassed our expectations. For us, it was completely worth the price!
When a friendly neighborhood cat figured out our cat door and decided to "join" our other cats inside, it was fine until we realized why he had been banished from his house. He was a big-time marker. We did a lot of research before deciding on this and it did it's job. The only drawback is that it took my cats some time to get used to the fairly loud click when it unlocks.
I was hoping this would be the solution for a skunk that kept coming in through the cat door's flap, and it is. I had a carpenter install it and a technician nerd read the instructions to program it, but once the "learn mode" recognized my cat's chip, it's all good. I also like the two click feature. First click he's coming in, second click it's locked again. I couldn't be happier with it.
Be sure to read the detailed differences between the cat door & pet door; it is not just size. The cat door size will let you lock some pets in while letting others out. The pet door size lets all pets out unless the door is locked to all pets going out. When we made a SureFlap account to be able to access the forum, there were multiple similar complaints.
I was cleaning my cat's door and accidentally got water in the electronics. I used a blow dryer and submerged the electronics in rice. It still worked, except you could only see half of the display. The display is a small PC board that disconnects rather easily. I called Sureflapcare and asked if I could buy the Display PC board. Nope, they shipped it off to me free. Excellent product, and customer service.
Very easy to set up, just right for my two small dogs.
The screws started stripping out upon installation. Save yourself a lot of trouble and go to the hardware store and buy replacements. Also, we have two small dogs that we wanted to give outdoor privileges to but a cat that is not allowed out. Purposely installed it backwards. Now only animals with the RFID chip can exit and any animal that can squeeze through the door can enter. Works in our situation because the dogs are terrors (Terriers). So no critters from outside our household even go in the yard much less try the door.
We bought this Small Dog/Large Cat Microchip Pet Door to let our cats in and keep other animals out. Neighbor cats, feral cats, and a possum have all visited our pet food bowls. This door was easy to install. My husband cut out a shape and drilled some holes. He used his ‘sawzall’. It was also easy to set up. Push a button for learning mode, it reads the microchip close to it, registers it, then switches automatically to locked mode. The locking sound was surprisingly loud, but we all got used to it quickly. In fact, our boy cat has better manners now because he has to wait for it to unlock instead of hitting the door full speed. The girls were skittish about the noise at first, but only for a couple of days. The chip reader requires the animal be very close to it, and sometimes we hear the latch open and close a few times before a cat comes in or goes out. That’s just because they like to look through the door and be coy and all cat-like about it. We considered the battery issue and were worried the cats might get locked out if the door suddenly lost power, so decided it was worth it to change the batteries on a schedule to avoid the worry. The door is working perfectly, and one by one, the regular space invaders learned they could no longer come in. The house feels better too, safer somehow. 10/10 (This was originally formatted with line breaks, but the website takes them out. )
