Cat MateElectromagnetic 4-Way-Locking Cat Flap with 2 Collar Keys - White

Great system, easy to install. I installed mine for selective exit of the house. We 2 cats, one is blind and should not go outside, I installed the door with the sensor facing in so only the outdoor cat can get out. He also can only go out when his collar is on which also has a tracker so it works great for the added security vs opening based on microchip. Runs off a 9 volt battery, and the collar magnet is relatively small. The gate locks reliably and securely such that the indoor cat can't really sneak out behind (unless maybe they were nose to but trailing out) but they don't really do that. Neither of the cats were able to paw it open without the magnet. Would recommend for the price!

I originally bought the Pet Safe Magnetic door (not this one) because I liked the idea of not needing batteries as this one did. I needed an electronic door for a feeding box to separate my two cats during feeding time since one had to be put on a prescription diet. I was going to put the non prescription cat's food in the box (since it would be bad for the sick cat to eat the regular food, but not the end of the world if the other cat had a bit or two of the prescription food).The sick cat is definitly the dominate, more food-motivated cat, so I figured he'd be first at the trough when the auto-feeder went off with his food anyways. So, everything should have worked out.I bought a large storage tote with handles that locked over the lid, cut the door-sized hole in the side of it, installed the door, and set it up with the non-perscription food in it.Literally, in under 10 seconds, the dominate, food motivated cat had popped the Pet Safe door open and had gained access to the off-limits food. I returned that door.I think it really is a design flaw on the Pet Safe door that the latch that holds the door closed until the magnetic tag trips it is located at the bottom corner of the door. When a cat (or raccoon) pushes hard enough on the other corner, the clear plastic door is flexible enough that the whole door just pops over the latch that is supposed to be holding it closed.I ended up deciding to get two other different doors so each cat could have their own private eating space. I got a Cat Mate magnetic door (the one described on this page), and a Cat Mate Super Selective microchip activated door. The magnetic Cat Mate door is similar in price to the Pet Safe, but the Super Selective costs about twice as much. But, if you have two cats in my situation, you can't have two magnetic doors because any magnet will open either door, so they wouldn't be kept away from the other's food.I love the Cat Mate doors. Even on the magnetic one, the latch is centered at the bottom of the door, so it would be much harder to get open just by pushing on it. But, a smart racoon with claws might figure out that he could pull the door back toward him and get in that way. My cat that is not allowed in this door is not super agressive, so I haven't seen her try to get in, but I can tell this is a sturdier magnetic door than the Pet Safe and would probably keep most all cats out.The Cat Mate Super Selective has little pegs that pop up into the base of the door and hold the door in place from both directions, so it is advertised as "racoon proof." I have found it to be very effective against my food bully tomcat. He's almost tipped the box over (and spilled the water bowl inside), but he hasn't opened the door. Plus, if you have several cats you need to separate, the Cat Mate Selective or Super Selective is your only option since it senses each cat's unique microchip tag and allows or disallows access based on each individual cat's chip. If you only need to separate two cats, or two groups of cats, you can get away with using one magnetic door and one microchip door.In summary, I would not use the Pet Safe magnetic door if I were using it as a door to the outside. It would be too easy for other animals to get in. If you need to separate indoor cats for feeding purposes, and none of the cats are too strong or motivated to get at the other's food, the Pet Safe door might work, but I believe the Cat Mate options are better designed, sturdier, and just better doors. I've been using these for just over one month now, and am very happy with them both.

I had an unexpected "crop" of 6 kittens born to a ferrel cat on my ranch. Mom (wild as could be) high-tailed it as soon as she could ween the kitties but I adopted them and they are living the spoiled life now, having their own automatic door into my barn.I didn't even bother to read the instructions. Installation is easy (well, on a barn it was) and the hardest part was getting the magnets on the new cat "necklaces." Not a fault of the magnet, just do to arthritis.My kittens are about 13 weeks old and they adjusted to their new door easily. I went outside and stuck a feather into the bottom of the door, and soon they were going in and out of the door without any problems.My main concern though is that as these kittens grow, the opening looks like it might be too small when they turn into full size cats. Time will tell though and I plan to update.I suspect this contraption is made in the UK. It calls for a weird designation for the battery that is placed in the bottom part of the door (why didn't they just call it a 9 volt battery?) But, it works well to trigger the small latch that allows pets to enter or exit.(UPDATE)5 months after my purchase, this door is still doing great and my grown cats come and go as they please. Another ferrel cat has showed up and has no idea how or why my adopted cats can pass through this "magic wall"... I have had no skunks come though, no raccoons, badgers, possum or anything other than my pet cats go in and out and so I'm changing my review from 4 stars to 5 stars...

Worked great in the beginning. My cat got the hang of the magnet right away. Only downside was that when it was locked, she was easily able to remove the panel to the battery and everything. She broke the spring that controls the latch within 1 week of it being installed. Now I have to use a piece of tape to keep it down. I originally got it to keep my small dog out of the room that had her food and litter box in it but now the dog can go in and out because it’s broken. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

Todo me gustó. Mi único problema es que uno de mis gatos perdió su imán y el repuesto es exageradamente caro, muy muy caro

It's a little smaller than I'd hoped but it does the job!

pour faciliter le passage de mon chat :sortie et entré : sans les inconvénients que d'autre chats ne rentre a la maison, fonctionne parfaitement

Easy to fit and works a treat.

Habe 26 Jahre durchgehend eine Cat Mate Tür im Einsatz gehabt. Habe diese getauscht gegen die neue Tür. Tür passte 1 zu 1 in den alten Ausschnitt. Die Befestigungslöcher sind etwas versetzt zur alten Tür. Die Schrauben sind nicht sehr stabil, so dass ein vorbohren, der Befestigungslöcher im harten Holz notwendig ist, wenn man die Schraubenköpfe nicht abreißen möchte. Funktion ist voll gegeben und die Tür ist sehr leise beim öffnen und schließen, gerade da unsere Katzen gerne mal mit Vollgas durchrasen. Aus diesem Grund habe ich den Elektro Mechanismuss der Tür entfernt. Somit könnten zwar andere Katzen auch durch die Tür, jedoch ist dieses in 26 Jahren bei uns nie vorgekommen..... Preis Leistung absolut top.
