Overview
Mounting the unit through an existing door gives a medium dog its own way in and out without a manual flap. The pet wears a collar tag that triggers the panel, so the door opens for that animal and closes again with a magnetic seal. Aluminum framing holds the opening square in the door cutout.
A powered panel that answers to the pet's collar rather than to a push from a nose or paw, which suits a dog that never learned to work a flap. The seal closes tight and the panel locks away strays and wildlife. The limits are the door it goes into and the size of dog it serves, so measure both before cutting.
Who it's for
A medium dog that needs to come and go on its own, in a home where the door can be cut and the frame is thick enough to hold the unit. Anyone with a large dog, or with a wall or slider as the only outside route, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Opens only for the pet wearing the tag
- Magnetic closure seals the opening
- Aluminum frame holds the cutout
- Fits doors up to two inches thick
- Pet opening dimensions limit dog size
- Collar tag or transmitter not listed
- Wall and slider installation not supported
- Power source and wiring not listed
Performance notes
The panel answers to the signal from the pet's collar tag, so the door opens as the animal approaches and shuts once it has passed. The magnetic seal pulls the panel closed against the frame, which is what holds weather and unwelcome animals out. Fit depends on the cutout matching the pet opening and on the door being within the stated thickness.
