Customers are mixed about the locking of the pet door. Some mention that it works great to keep other cats out, while others say that it fails to lock when the batteries are dead, the flap opens it means it locks in front of the flap, and can never be completely unlocked. The fuzzy seal on one side of the lock is coming loose and/or misshapen and catching, and it does not let the other cat in despite his best efforts.

Customers are mixed about the noise of the pet door. Some mention that the click sound is very quiet and does not wake them up at all, while others say that it makes a noise when it reads the microchip, the locking mechanism and the door flap are kind of loud when their cats go through it, and the sound of the clicker startled them.
"...Another problem is that it makes a noise when it reads the microchip which scares my cat, so she won't use it anyway...." Read more
"...Quieter and with a fuzzy weather stripping added...." Read more

Customers have negative opinions about the size of the pet door. They mention that the door is small and may be difficult for larger cats to fit through. Some customers also mention that there are small spaces on the side of the door and that the tunnel is narrow.
"...I think part of it is the opening is rather small and awkward for him to pass through easily..." Read more
"...My first reaction to the flap was that it has a much smaller area than the Johnson door the cats were accustomed-to, and that, at-least for the two..." Read more
"...She can just squeeze through, but it's tight. She's too fat, and I will try to fix that, but meanwhile she squeezes through...." Read more

The door does a great job at opening only for the cats it's supposed to open for. When she approaches, you hear it unlock, and it locks behind her just a second or two after she gets through. It would conceivably be possible for another cat to follow in the cat who is supposed to be allowed in the door, however the timing window would be tight and while it is technically possible, it's unlikely the other animal would act quickly enough to get in before it locks again. Installation into an interior wall was easy, I can't speak to installation into glass or an exterior door or wall - any of these are likely much harder.
I can't speak to battery life - I've had it for a couple months now and the batteries are still going strong. But the product works and works well. If you have a space that you want your cat to be able to access and no other critters, this will do the job. There are cheaper devices on the market which use a magnet that you put on their collar. However, that would mean that you have to put a collar on your cat and if it ever lost its collar, the door wouldn't work. This solution is much mor elegant as long as your cat is chipped. It doesn't depend on anything that the cat could possibly lose. All in all, it's a solid product. Expensive, but it does what it says. Think about whether you really need this or whether a similar model that uses a magnet on the collar will do. If you do need the feature that this offers, it's great and you won't be disappointed.

Long version: I took our door off in order to install this and found the process very simple despite a less than ideal mounting location. Our door has a single large glass pane running almost it's full height with only just enough space at the bottom for the cat flap. In hindsight I should probably have measured this before buying the flap, but it ended up fitting perfectly! It is definitely lower than the manufacturer's instructions recommend (the bottom edge is supposed to be level with the base of our cat's chest while standing) but our cat doesn't seem to mind at all. The only real hiccup with the install was trying to cut the top edge of the hole so close to the window moulding which got in the way of the jigsaw guide plate. If you have a long enough blade then I'd recommend using blocks of wood to build up a level surface to slide the jigsaw guide plate over. Since our jigsaw blades were all only just long enough to get though the door in the first place, I just took the guiding plate off and did the top edge freehand using my leg to stabilize my arm as the saw tried to buck. This whole issue was very specific to the design of our door and the need to work so close to the window moulding, so long as your door is mostly flat at the bottom the whole process should be much simpler. In fact, I suspect that taking the door off its hinges would be optional in a flatter door, for our situation it was definitely worth being able to lay the door flat.
Once the hole was cut, the flap install took only a couple more minutes using the longest screws included. The result is very stable and looks seamless.
Training was a breeze as our cat is already used to a regular cat flap. I showed her once that it can open by pushing the flap out and she promptly went through and back in again. She proceeded to repeat that two more times within the next five minutes, purring like a motorboat every time she pushed her way back inside. She's definitely very pleased to no longer have to wait for me to open the door! Other reviews had mentioned cats balking at the sound of the lock mechanism and our kitty is pretty skittish so I'd been worried about that, but she got used to it very quickly (in the video you can see her turn at the sound of it locking again, but she's not very bothered and it doesn't stop her using the door).
The only issue is that she doesn't yet understand that our neighbor's cats can't come through it too. As a result, she guards it closely any time there's another cat nearby. When she gets within less than an inch of the inside of the door it does trip the release mechanism so there's a small risk she could let another cat in if she gets too close, however, thus far the only times she's gotten close enough to trip it is when she's actually trying to leave.
In summary, this flap is Piper tested and me approved! Piper is a former feral kitty who has learned to love her humans but it's still terrified of pretty much everything else including other cats. Consistently having a safe space that she doesn't have to rely on me to be there to let her in and out of is a game changer for her confidence.

I'm not using this as an outdoor pet door. I have one overweight cat, and another underweight cat with extreme food allergies. To allow myself to feed their separate vet-prescribed foods with no stealing (and allergy flare-ups) I purchased two of these microchip doors and installed them in the side of two pieces of furniture designed to hide litter boxes. Instead of litter boxes, I feed them their separate foods inside--and don't need to worry about one stealing food from the other. So much cheaper than buying microchip pet feeders and it's working well so far!
Da sie in Sachen Stress sehr sensibel ist, möchte ich ihr mit dieser Katzenklappe die freie Entscheidung für Kontakt in der Gruppe oder von Ruhephasen geben.
So kann sie selbst entscheiden wann sie sich zurück zieht.
Die Katzenklappe funktioniert einwandfrei mit ihrem einprogrammierten Microchip.
Nur sie hat dadurch Zugang zu ihrem Zimmer und meine anderen 4 kommen somit nicht rein.
Sie arbeitet absolut zuverlässig.
Verarbeitung ist top und auch die Bedienungsanleitung ist einfach und verständlich.
Die Klappe kann in verschiedenen Einstellungen eingestellt werden.
Komplett verriegelt, nur Ausgang, nur Eingang oder Ein-/Ausgang.
Betrieben wird sie mit 4 AA Batterien die leicht zu wechseln sind.
Kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen!
One of our cats though, the smartest and unfortunately at the same time the strongest, manages to open the flap to the inside at times when he is not supposed to leave the house anymore.
He holds his neck closed to the door till it clicks... then he quickly with a mix of smartness and violence pull the flap inside... since its blocked for opening to the outside.
But I figured, if he is smart and strong enough to do that, he will manage to survive the dangers of the night too. :-)
So the slower cats stay at home at night... ;-)
