Overview
The PetSafe Deluxe Magnetic Cat Flap is a selective-entry cat door with 4-way locking, sold in white, designed to let only cats wearing the matching magnetic key through while keeping other animals out.
Selective entry means the flap stays locked to any cat or animal not wearing the paired magnetic collar key, the main reason owners choose a magnetic door over a plain flap-style one. The 4-way locking gives control over direction, letting an owner set the flap to in-only, out-only, both ways, or fully locked. This listing carries no attribute or description data beyond the title and model, so installation details like panel thickness aren't confirmed here.
- Magnetic selective entry
- 4-way locking: in, out, both, locked
- White finish
- PetSafe 400EF model
Who it's for
Owners who want to keep a specific cat's flap access controlled, whether to stop neighborhood cats or wildlife from entering, or to restrict a household cat to one direction at a time. Not useful for multi-cat households wanting every cat to have equal access without individual magnetic keys.
Pros and cons
- Keeps out cats without the magnetic key
- 4-way lock gives directional control
- No attribute data provided beyond title and model
- Requires a magnetic collar key to work
Performance notes
The magnetic key mechanism only releases the lock when a paired collar magnet is close to the flap, which is what keeps other cats or animals from pushing through. The 4-way lock setting is a separate mechanical control from the magnetic sensor, letting the direction be restricted independent of who's wearing the key.
