My Review of Cat Mate Microchip Cat Flap

This is my review of the microchip version of the Cat Mate cat flap, so if you are trying to buy a cat flap, this is the post for you. The Cat Mate Microchip Cat Flap will not let you down. It works just like other microchip cat flaps, by reading your pet’s microchip and allowing them to enter, whilst denying to those that do not have a microchip registered by the microchip cat flap. What is also great is Cat Mate offer a three year guarantee on their products!

Buy your microchip reading Cat Mate cat flap to give you and your pets piece of mind.

Microchip cat flap use

Just like other microchip cat flaps, this Cat Mate cat flap allows selective entry by reading your pet’s microchip. This means your pet can come and go as they please, without the worry of stray pets entering your home. Also you don’t need to open the door to let your pet in or out.

If your cat or dog is not already microchipped, I would recommend getting them microchipped. It only costs about £20, can be carried out by your vet. Also it and means your pets can be identified if they get lost. Up to 30 cats can be registered for each microchip type Cat Mate cat flap and it is best to register your pets before you install the Cat Mate cat flap. Learn more about getting your pet microchipped.

You can also buy a tag for your pet’s collar, which can be read by the automatic cat flap. This could be a useful option for you, but personally I am not too keen on my cat having a collar.

Locking

The microchip cat flap has four way locking, which means you can choose between all four combinations (unlocked in – unlocked out, unlocked in – locked out, locked in – unlocked out and locked in – locked out) of entry and exit for complete control.

Using this Cat Mate cat flap

Installing the Cat Mate microchip cat flap does not take much DIY at all. If you are after any guidance check out the videos on this site for installing through installing through brick, installing through wood and installing through glass, or if you are after a professional cat flap fitter. If you are going to install the cat flap, there are also an adapter kit you can buy. This is really useful when fitting the microchip cat flap through glass panes or brick walls. When installing through a brick wall there is a tunnel liner as well.

It is best to set up the Cat Mate microchip cat flap before you have fitted it, and it is really easy to register your pets with the microchip cat flap. Just put the microchip cat flap into ‘Learn’ mode and place one of your pet’s favourite treats underneath the scanner so their microchip can be read. Here is some more guidance on setting up a microchip cat flap.

You may need to be a bit patient teaching your pet how to use the pet flap for a couple of weeks, especially if they have not used a cat flap before and they may find that the clicking of the locking mechanism spooks them a little.

My Review of Sureflap Microchip Pet Door

The Sureflap microchip pet door is larger than all the other microchip pet doors and is suitable for small to medium dogs as well as cats. Make sure you check our sizing comparison chart to be sure! And I must also say that Sureflap customer service is fantastic, they really are very helpful. So read on for my review of the Sureflap microchip pet door.

If you’re looking to buy a microchip cat flap, here are the best microchip cat flaps for piece and mind for you and your pets. Also here is the Sureflap microchip pet door.

Sureflap microchip pet door use

Like all microchip cat flaps, your pets’ microchips are scanned by the microchip pet door and this allows selective entry, which is fantastic. It stops strays entering your home, spraying on your walls and harming your pets. At the same time your pets can come and go as they please without you having to let them in and out.

The Sureflap microchip pet door also has a really useful feature, called ‘Curfew’ mode. This allows you to lock the pet door for certain times, keeping your pets indoors.

In some cases your pet’s microchip may have moved and this may not be read by the scanner. In this case you can buy a set of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags that can be fitted to a collar. The tags are read by the scanner just like the microchips. Alternatively, you can just get your pet re-chipped for about £20.

Almost all microchips are recognised, which is great because it means your cat or dog will almost certainly be able to use it. Only numbers starting ‘000’, ‘010’ and ‘020’ won’t work, but all other 9, 10 and 15 digit microchips will work.

Locking

The Sureflap microchip pet door has four way locking, which means you can choose between all four combinations of entry and exit for complete control. These combinations are unlocked in – unlocked out, unlocked in – locked out, locked in – unlocked out and locked in – locked out.

Power

You can put this pet door anywhere, it uses 4 C batteries and doesn’t need to be plugged into the mains. This means no mains and no cable to trip over. This is so fantastic, I wish all electronic pet doors and cat flaps were like this! You could use this microchip pet door anywhere around the house, in a child proof stair gate or a outdoor pet shelter. The batteries will last for about a year.

Aesthetics

The Sureflap microchip pet door has a similar appearance to the other Sureflap microchip cat flaps. I think the white plastic really suits uPVC doors and glass windows and looks alright against brick and wood. Either way I wouldn’t be too worried about its appearance, although it’s only available in white.

Sureflap microchip pet door conclusion

If you have a small dog and you would like all the benefits of microchip cat flaps then this Sureflap Microchip Pet Door is for you! There really are no others that come close!

My Review of Sureflap DualScan Cat Flap

The Sureflap Dualscan cat flap is probably the best on the market. It just offers the best function and the most useful feature that other microchip cat flaps don’t have, and that is the ability to scan microchips both ways through the cat flap!

Sureflap DualScan cat flap

Read on for my review of Sureflap Dualscan microchip cat flap.

Buy your Sureflap DualScan microchip cat flap below RRP price for this microchip cat flap.

Microchip use

The dual scan ability of this automatic cat flap means that you can have selective access both ways. All other microchip cat flaps let in the pets you want by recognising their microchips. Sureflap’s DualScan means you can do that and keep in pets that you don’t want to go out. I find this really useful if you want to take one of your pets to the vet that day and you need to keep tabs on them.

If one of your house-bound pets manages to escape, you can put the microchip pet door into its ‘Safety’ mode and your pet is able to enter in through the DualScan microchip cat flap.

Like the Sureflap microchip cat flap all 9, 10 and 15 digit microchips are compatible with the DualScan, except those starting with ‘000’, ‘010’ and ‘020’. If for whatever reason, the scanner is unable to read your cat’s microchip, then you can buy a set of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. These tags can be fitted to you pet’s collar. The scanner will read the RFID tags like a microchip. Alternatively, you can get your pet re-chipped if their chip has moved, which will cost about £20, and will mean they won’t have to wear a collar.

Locking

Four way locking is provided, meaning that all four combinations of locking and unlocking, in and out can be used. However, the ability to scan both ways means that isn’t really necessary.

Just put the microchip cat flap into ‘Learn’ mode and place one of your pet’s favourite treats underneath the scanner. This allows the scanner to read your pet’s microchip. Here is some more guidance on setting the microchip cat flap up.

They may find that the clicking of the locking mechanism spooks them a little. Click here for help on how to teach your pet to use a microchip cat flap.

Just make sure your pet can fit through the microchip pet flap before you buy it. The smallest dimension of the cat flap is 12cm high and 14cm wide. Have a look at our sizing comparison table to see how it compares against other models.

Power

4 AA batteries are used in this cat flap, which is great because it means you can put it anywhere. You can put this cat flap as far away from a socket as you’d want. You could use the cat flap for an outdoor pet shelter and you don’t have to worry about pesky cables to trip up over. Also the cat flap won’t be effected by any power cuts and the batteries should last for about a year.

Aesthetics

The Sureflap DualScan microchip cat will suit white uPVC doors and glass the best, but then would not look out of place in a wooden door or a brick wall. I really like the design, it looks sleek and modern, just like the technology it uses. That said it only comes in white and brown, unfortunately!

There are brushes around the frame to keep out drafts. The brushes also stop the door from banging shut, which is great because the quieter the better, I’m sure you’ll agree!

Conclusion

The Sureflap DualScan microchip cat flap is the best around and if you’re after the best get this. That said, the best use for this cat door is if you have two or more cats. It allows you to keep one inside and let the others come and go as they please. If you have a pet you would like to keep in the house at least from time to time, and another pet that can come and go as it pleases, then I would definitely suggest you get this cat flap.

The great thing about this microchip cat flap is you can put it anywhere! It takes 4 AA batteries, so doesn’t need to be plugged into the mains and won’t be affected by any power cuts. You could obviously have it anywhere around the house, but also for entry into an outdoor pet house or for a homemade feeder that you can move around without having an annoying cable getting under your feet.

Aesthetics

Depending on what sort of door, wall or window you fit this microchip cat flap into, it is probably going to look great, as you can tell from the photos! The white suits glass and white doors best, but will be no eye sore against brick or timber. Aside from white, the microchip cat flap also comes in brown and the plastic shape of the frames is a more pleasing design than some of its competitors. Check out the Sureflap microchip cat flap in brown!

On a side note, there is a brush seal between the frame and the door to keep out those pesky drafts!

Conclusion

I would definitely recommend buying the Sureflap Microchip Cat Flap. It may not have some of the additional features of other models, but it is easy to set up, looks great and gives you great piece of mind about your pets’ safety and well being!

Cat Flap Installation in a Brick Wall

Security experts will probably tell you cat flap installation in a brick wall is best, for security reasons, as the cat door can weaken the door itself. Anyway…

Each microchip pet door will have slightly different ways to install them, as they differ between brands and products. There are, however, similarities between them all though. First, the microchip pet door should be set up for all your pets. This can be done after installation but is best done beforehand. See here how to set up for your microchip cat flap.

Installing a microchip pet door through a brick wall requires a fair amount of skill and experience on your and if you do not feel comfortable to follow the advice here or the manufacturer’s instructions, then click to find a cat flap fitter in your local area for pet door installation.

Put simply, a hole has to be made in your wall, door or window and then the microchip pet flap can be fixed around it. For step by step instructions on pet door installation into a glass door or window, see below.

If you would like advice on how to install a microchip pet door in a glass door or window, have a look at this cat flap installation in glass post and here for steps installing a microchip cat flap in a uPVC or a wooden door.

Cat flap installation in a brick wall

Cat flap installation in a brick wall is messy and very involved. It is recommended that you consult with a builder before starting work on installing a pet door in a wall, unless you have relevant building experience. It may help to stick on masking tape where you are to make pencil marks to outline the microchip cat flap if there are tiles or a dark painted surface.

Measure the height of your pet’s stomach off the floor. Mark the height of your pet’s stomach on your wall. This will be where you will place the bottom of the inside of the pet door, so your pet can walk through the pet door comfortably. If you have more than one pet that will be using the microchip pet flap, make sure that the smallest measurement from your pets’ stomachs to the floor is used. Make this mark where you want the centre of the microchip pet door to be, horizontally, and also mark this on the inside frame of the cat flap.

Breaking through the wall for the cat flap installation

Use a hammer drill with the correct drill bit to drill through the wall to create a reference point. Drill around the pencil outline, overlapping the line by about 2mm or 5/64 Inches. A masonry drill bit should be used to drill through the entire wall. If you do not already own one, a breaker can be hired for a day to remove the bricks and tiles from both inside and outside. Use a tunnel extender to check if you have broken enough out, by passing it through the hole, both inside and outside. Any obstructions are bits that still need to be broken out.

Clear away any dust and debris that could work its way into the cat flap mechanism and you may need to add some cement if you have made the hole too big in places, to fill it in. A vacuum cleaner can be used close to the drill bit to remove the fine brick dust before it fills your room.

Fitting the cat flap into the wall

Now drill on the cat flap inside frame to the inside of the wall. This should be done by removing the button cover to the inside frame, by unscrewing the screws. Measure how many tunnel extenders you require to pass through the hole in the wall. The tunnel extenders should be fixed together with all weather tape and taped to the inside frame of the cat flap.Then the tunnel should extend into the inside and outside frames of the pet flap.

The tunnel and inside frame can be fixed to the wall by drilling the screw holes with a masonry drill bit and putting in wall plugs. The inside frame of the pet door can now be screwed in by hand. The outside frame of the pet flap can now be put in place and the holes can be drilled in the outside of the brick wall. This should be done just like the inside frame screws. The button cover can now be put back in place.

To finish, apply an all weather sealant between the tunnel and outside frame cover and between the outside frame cover and the wall.

Cat Flap Installation in Wooden Door or uPVC Door

After advice on how to install a microchip pet door in a glass door or window?

uPVC and wooden doors

Measure the height of your pet’s stomach off the floor. Mark the height of your pet’s stomach on your door. This will be where you will place the bottom of the inside of the pet door, so your pet can walk through the pet door comfortably. If you have more than one pet that will be using the microchip pet flap, make sure that the smallest measurement from your pets’ stomachs to the floor is used. Make this mark where you want the centre of the microchip pet door to be, horizontally. Also mark this on the inside frame of the cat flap.

Using this mark on the door as the centre of the inside bottom face of the pet flap, fix the cat flap frame to the door with tape or Blu Tac. Then draw the inside line of the cat flap frame on the door. The idea is to match up the centre mark on the door with the centre mark on the cat flap frame. It would help to use a spirit level to check whether the microchip cat door is to be level. Mark where the drill holes for the microchip cat flap frame are to go.

Making a hole in a wooden door for a cat flap

With a large drill bit, make holes in the corner of the outline. These holes need to be large enough to fit a jigsaw drill into. It is recommended to drill from both sides to avoid splintering. Take care to make sure that the holes will line up. To do this make sure that you have outlines drawn on both sides of the door that line up.

Then cut the outline out with the jigsaw drill carefully. Drill the holes for the microchip cat flap screws. The size of the holes will depend on which microchip cat flap you buy. Screw the microchip pet flap into place and make sure that the frame with the buttons is on the inside. Use a hand screw driver as opposed to a power screw driver to prevent over tightening the screws.

Your microchip cat flap should now be completely installed, but that will depend on which microchip pet flap you have.

Cat Flap Installation in Glass Door

Each cat flap installation in glass will have slightly different ways, as they differ between brands and products. There are, however, similarities between them all though. First, you should set up the microchip pet door for your pets. This can be done after installation but is best done beforehand. See here for how to set up for your microchip cat flap.

If you do not feel comfortable to follow the advice here to install a cat flap in glass or the manufacturer’s instructions, then click here to find a cat flap fitter in your local area for pet door installation.

Put simply, cut a hole into your wall, door or window. Then the microchip pet flap can be fixed around it. For step by step instructions on pet door installation into a glass door or window, see below.

Cat flap installation in glass door or window

For a microchip cat flap in a glass, such as a double glazed door or glass window, a professional glazier or pet flap fitter will be required to cut a circular hole in the glass. The size of this hole will vary depending on the size of your microchip pet door. A single pane of non-toughened glass could probably be cut in-situ, or in its place, by a professional cat flap fitter. However, a double glazed window or door would have to be removed for cutting.

You must tell your professional glazier or pet door fitter that a non-metallic spacer bar should be used in double glazed glass. Any metal in the glass would reduce the range, and effectiveness, of the microchip cat door.

Measure the height of your pet’s stomach on your door. If you have more than one pet that will be using the microchip pet flap, make sure that the smallest measurement from your pets’ stomachs to the floor is used. As there is a circular hole in the glass, add 12cm or five inches to the height between your pet’s stomach and the floor. Use this value for the centre of the circle off the floor. If the microchip cat flap you have bought does not provide any instructions on this.

Mounting adapters

This should be at 20cm or eight inches off the bottom of the glass to allow room for the mounting adaptor. For most microchip pet doors in glass windows and doors need a mounting adaptor. There will be a mounting adaptor for both sides of the glass. Place a bead of all weather sealant around the two mounting adapters.

Place one of the mounting adaptors, with the sealant, with the inside part of the microchip cat flap placed through the hole first. Then the outside mounting adapter and outside frame of the microchip cat door. It would help if you had somebody to help you on the other side of the door for this part.

Also make sure the sealant is on the glass side and use a hand screw driver. Don’t use a power screw driver, for the screws to make sure you don’t over tighten them.

Microchip Cat Flap Uses

The main use you may have for a microchip cat flap would be to selectively allow your own pets in and out of your house. A microchip cat flap could also be used as an entry to an outdoor pet house, to allow your pet in and out but prevent other animals from gaining access.

Microchip pet feeder

In the same spirit, you may want only one of your pets access to some food, as it may contain medicine or be specifically required for one of your pets. A box with a microchip cat flap could be placed over it, to provide this selective access.

In short, these microchip pet doors are very versatile and give you peace of mind and security and provide protection and a sense of freedom for your beloved family pets.

Microchip cat flaps are often ‘four way locking’. This means you have control of all four combinations on whether to allow entry in or out through the cat flap. These different locking settings include manual locking and preventing your pet from leaving if they need to go to the vet. This is also very useful if you would like to keep your pets in at night and further protect them from foxes, neighbours pets and strays. I know how worrying it can be seeing your cats in the morning with cuts and scratches.

Additional features

Some microchip cat flaps have additional features you may find especially useful to you. A timer control allows you to set the time when the cat flap is locked and unlocked. This is great if you want to lock the microchip cat flap at night and are worried you might forget now and again. The extra piece of mind of your pets being safe at night without having to think about locking them in, is fantastic!

Dualscan microchip cat flaps

There are microchip cat flaps that are able to scan on both inside and outside, and are sometimes called ‘dual scan’. These dual scan microchip cat flaps allow you to choose which of your pets can leave through the microchip pet door. These is a real step up from the four way locking and the timer control and is so useful if there is one pet in particular you want to keep in your home. You might want to get a dual scan microchip cat flap if you have a particularly sneaky cat who doesn’t like going to the vet!
