Overview
The SureFlap DualScan is a microchip-activated cat flap that reads your cat's existing microchip (or an included RFID collar tag) to decide who gets through. It replaces a plain flap for households that want to keep unregistered pets out while still letting their own cats in.
Because it works off the microchip already implanted at the vet, there's no separate key fob to lose, though the DualScan feature also lets you set entry as chip-only, exit as always-open, or lock both directions. It runs on 4 AA batteries rather than mains power, so placement isn't limited by a nearby outlet. The white plastic housing is sized for a standard door-mount cutout, not a wall install.
- Microchip and RFID collar tag compatible
- 4 3/4 x 5 5/8 inch opening
- White door-mount housing
- Runs on AA batteries
Who it's for
Suits households with one or more indoor-outdoor cats who want to stop neighborhood cats or wildlife from using the same flap, and who are comfortable pairing microchip numbers through the unit's manual controls. Anyone whose cat isn't microchipped will need to use one of the included collar tags instead.
Pros and cons
- Reads existing microchips, no extra tag needed for chipped cats
- Independent in/out locking modes
- Battery powered, no wiring required
- Requires AA batteries rather than a mains adapter
- Opening size limits it to cats and very small pets
- Programming multiple pets is a manual step
Performance notes
The DualScan reads via RFID at the frame, so recognition depends on the cat's microchip or tag passing close to the sensor, the same technology vets use for chip scanning. Because it runs on batteries rather than being hardwired, battery life becomes the main maintenance point over time. The opening measures 4 3/4 inches high by 5 5/8 inches wide, sized for cats rather than small dogs.
