Overview

A four way locking cat flap that reads magnetic ID discs attached to a cat's collar, letting only recognized cats in and controlling timed access without a microchip reader. Fits glass, UPVC, wood and wall installations at 7 1/16 x 8 1/16 inches, sized for small to average cats. White plastic frame with magnetic closure.

The Elite naming and ID disc system set this apart from simple magnetic flaps and from full microchip readers: it needs a physical disc clipped to the collar rather than reading an implanted chip, so the cat must keep wearing the disc for the door to recognize them. Ani Mate backs it with a 3 year guarantee, and Cat Mate sells the compatible ID discs and tunnel or frame kits separately for thicker walls.

Who it's for

Suits owners of one or a few small to average sized cats who want to keep other animals out without chip reading hardware, and who are comfortable fitting a disc collar tag. Owners installing into anything thicker than the door's rated depth will need Cat Mate's separate tunnel extender.

Pros and cons

Pros

Timer control limits entry to chosen hours
Four way locking, in, out, both or secured
Fits glass, UPVC, wood and wall installs
3 year manufacturer guarantee

Cons

Requires a collar mounted ID disc, sold separately
Sized for small to average cats only
No microchip reading, only disc recognition

Performance notes

Access relies on a magnetic ID disc worn on the collar; the flap's sensor unlocks the four way (in, out, both, locked) mechanism only when a registered disc passes, and a timer function can restrict access to set hours. Because it depends on the physical disc rather than an implanted chip, a lost collar or a neighborhood cat wearing a compatible disc could both defeat the intended selectivity.
