Overview
An electronic, collar key activated pet door sized for large dogs up to 100 lb and rated for cats too, fitted for walls or doors up to 2 inches thick with an insulated, UV protected flap.
Because it opens only for a pet wearing the paired electronic collar key, it is built to keep out strays, wildlife and neighborhood animals in a way a plain flap door cannot, though it is not a connected smart home device despite the smart door naming in the listing.
- Collar key electronic activation
- Rated for dogs up to 100 lbs and cats
- Fits 2 inch thick doors or walls
- 1 year limited warranty
Who it's for
Households with a large dog up to 100 lb, or cats, wanting to keep unwanted animals out are the fit. It will not work for walls or doors thicker than 2 inches given the stated thickness range.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Collar key activation keeps out unwanted animals
- Rated for large dogs up to 100 lbs and cats
- Insulated flap for weather protection
- 1 year limited warranty
- Only fits mounting surfaces of exactly 2 inches thick
- Not smart home compatible despite the smart door name
- 3.8 average rating is lower than most listings in this batch
Performance notes
The electronic key on the pet's collar triggers the lock to release, which is the mechanism that keeps the door from opening for other animals, unlike a passive flap door.
