Overview
The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap reads a cat's existing microchip to unlock the flap, letting registered pets in while keeping out strays and neighborhood cats. The flap opening measures 4 3/4 by 5 5/8 inches and mounts through doors or walls up to 10 inches thick.
Unlike a magnetic-collar cat door, this model does not require attaching anything to the cat, it reads the microchip most cats already carry from the vet. It is not smart home connected, so there is no app or remote monitoring, just selective entry based on stored chip IDs.
- Flap opening: 4 3/4 x 5 5/8 inches
- Fits up to 10 inch door or wall thickness
- Reads existing pet microchip on entry
- Flap and button closure
Who it's for
Households with a microchipped cat that want to stop strays or other neighborhood cats from coming in through the door. It suits anyone willing to install a flap into an exterior door or wall rather than owners who just need a simple hole cut without electronics.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No collar or tag needed, reads the existing microchip
- Fits doors and walls up to 10 inches thick
- Keeps out non-registered cats and strays
- Not smart home or app connected
- Installation means cutting into a door or wall
- White plastic only, no color options listed
Performance notes
The unit scans for a microchip as the cat approaches and unlocks the flap only for IDs it has stored, then relocks it once the cat is through. Button controls let owners store multiple chip numbers or set the flap to lock in one direction, such as in-only at night.
