  • Loud, slow locking, but works as intended, is of great construction, and the cat loves it.
Style: Microchip & I.D. Disc - Entry Control
Update after 9 months or so: I still love the door. Mine gets plenty of usage as its used to give my cat access to specific parts of the house while keeping my roommate's cat out (i.e. my personal room). But, I am having an issue where the batteries seem to run down in the course of a week or so (they should last between 6 months to a year, depending on usage). I am going to look into a warranty exchange and update this review again after that. This door is built well, feels sturdy, and fit my door well. I will add approx. door dimensions later. Bad first: The locking mechanism isn't the fastest in the world. Though this is part of the design, its not my ideal locking mechanism. The cat has to put there nose on the door to unlock it, assuming the lock is on. If they are exiting the house/room, then the collar tag is not used, and the door unlocks when the cat applies pressure to the door. The door provides enough wiggle room for the locks so that the door will begin to swing before the locks are withdrew. But, they still take a moment to withdraw before the door will swing open fully. When the cat is entering the house/room, the tag is required to permit access (it does this well, contrary to other reviews), but the cat must still put their nose on the door and push it for the lock to withdraw. If possible, decreasing latency times would improve the quality of this door. Additionally, the lock is of, what i would call, medium "loudness." It won't awake you from sleep, the closing door is louder, but it is annoying. It will also frighten a cat that is not used to a mechanism as such. I have yet to have my cat use the door consistently while the lock is on, but uses it constantly when the lock is off. Lastly, DON'T LET THEM PLAY WITH THE DOOR WHILE THE LOCK IS ON. When the lock is engaged, it is easy for the cat to get a tail or paw stuck by trying to pull the door the opposite way. This is user error, not product error. Another review stated that their cat almost had to have their tail amputated due to it getting caught. The door will not close to a locking position until the boney part of the tail is through, the tail (at least in the cat) is too thick to be locked on. Watch out just in case, but i have had to issues with that during times where we tested the locking feature. The positives: The flap is strong and holds up well to mild abuse. It can take my cat doing in and out constantly. The controls are easy to use and pairing is fast and simple. The tags work well when used properly. Keep them close to the cats neck so they don't jingle or get caught on the frame of the flap. The flap only requires the tag from the outside/tunnel side. See above for why you can't get the door to react from inside the house/room without touching it. The tunnel IS the sensor. Installation was easy and fit a relatively small door. Getting a new door to fit the old door frame was much more challenging than this installation. My door, where the flap is installed, is approx. 1/4in to a 1/2 in think, if not thinner, and it installed quickly and firmly. No wiggle or shaking, no rattling, it is snug. Overall, the product, when used as intended, is a good product. Making it more friendly to shy or explorative cats is my only big suggestion. A cat that uses it as intended will be fine. 👍 Update on 8/37/2020: Still no issues with appendages getting caught or stuck, and now my cat uses the door constantly. I figure I will have to replace the batteries within the next month now, but adds that extra security I was looking for. I would recommend this product. ... show more

  • Locking Options Pose a Challenge
Style: Microchip & I.D. Disc - Entry Control
I bought this door because we inherited an neutered outdoor cat from neighbors who moved to a location with a lot of coyotes. He is comfortable having a refuge with a place to sleep, food, and water in the garage. Since I worked all day and travel regularly, he needed to be able to let himself in and out of the garage. He took a while to figure out the door in training mode (without any locking or noises), but then adapted to coming and going and all was well...until a racoon found the door and broke in. I then proceeded to change the settings to require a chip to enter and the cat has one. The raccoon figured out that the door doesn't require a chip to exit and used his little fingers to pull the door open from the outside (which doesn't require a chip). Since there isn't an option to require a chip to exit, I decided to program the door so the cat could enter/exit from 8am to 8pm and enter only from 8pm to 8am because the raccoons are typically active at night. That did solve the raccoon issue, but the cat completely stopped using the door. I thought he would eventually figure out that he could get out, but only during the day. I even tried using a special treat to lure him through, but he just would not open the door himself. If I held it open a little, he would come through, but would NOT push the door himself. I had to go back to training mode again and start all over with training to get him through the door, but now the raccoon is back. In the near term, I will have to go back to the program where I allow him to enter/exit during the day and in only at night, but I am not sure how I can get him to use the door. Not having the option to allow only an authorized cat (with the chip) to enter and exit at will has created a huge issue for me and I may have to find another door that does have this option. I am very frustrated because it is otherwise very handy and seems to be durable and only about 1.5 years old. I am not looking forward to spending more money and going through the install process again! ... show more

  • Great size for all cats
Style: I.D. Disc Only - Entry & Exit Control
I needed a electric cat door that locks and requires a microchip tag to exit and enter. This one is the best one out there, has more features and cost less. We have wildlife and stray cats that sneak in and eat all our cats food. This door is big enough that our cats do not struggle or have to try and squeeze in with effort. I originally bought a much more expensive brand, Sure Flap dual microchip. It was way too small and the tunnel was too long and it didn't have many features at all, and although my cats used it, they struggled, the click sound didn't bother them but it was louder than this one. This Cat Mate door is very good. Our cats have no problem using it and it has the feature of seeing which cat is out or in and how long they've been out. I can toggle it locked at night without having to remove a cover to get to the controls like the other one. The click sound is much quieter than the other one and it locks both directions, meaning a cunning animal can't lift the flap or push it to get in. It is well designed. I have a sliding patio door and had the regular cat door insert. I just removed the flap from it and drilled 2 holes to install it. The space above the new door was open so I slid the white plastic cover that came with the cat door insert down, and on the outside stuck Styrofoam in the cavity to insulate it. The tunnel on the Cate Mate is much shorter than on the Sure Flap so it's easier for the cats to use. Everything about the Cate Mate is better and it was quite a bit cheaper. The build quality is very good too. Very satisfied with this company. The Flap is about 1 inch larger than the Sure Flap. I highly recommend. ... show more
