Overview
PetSafe builds this electronic pet door around a flap that stays locked until a SmartKey worn on your pet's collar sends a radio-frequency identification signal. The plastic frame carries LED indicators and a sensitivity control, and the door ships with installation instructions and a cutting template. Program a key by pressing a button on the door, and the flap unlocks only for pets wearing one.
Selective entry is what separates this door from a plain flap: the lock answers the collar key, so a neighbor cat or a raccoon cannot push through. Programming takes a button press, and the door accepts several keys for a multi-pet home. Both the door and the key draw on batteries, so the setup depends on keeping spares on hand and watching the indicators.
Who it's for
Homes with a dog or cat that already wears a collar and needs to come and go on its own schedule get selective access without leaving the flap open to strays. Households with pets that slip collars, or owners who do not want to manage batteries and key programming, should look at a basic flap instead.

Performance notes
The flap stays locked until the collar key comes within range of the reader, so entry depends on the key being worn and powered. Sensitivity control adjusts how readily the door answers the signal, which matters for pets that linger near the flap or approach at an angle. Once the pet is through, the lock re-engages on its own, and the LED indicators report what the door is doing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I program a new SmartKey to the PetSafe Electronic SmartDoor?
Press the program button on the door and pair the key at the touch of a button. The door accepts up to five SmartKeys, so you can add keys for extra pets or replace one that is lost.
What happens if the SmartKey battery dies?
The key is battery operated and sends the radio-frequency signal that unlocks the flap, so a dead key means the door will not answer that pet. Keep a spare key on hand so your pet is not locked out while you replace it.
Can more than one pet use the door?
Yes. The door can be programmed with up to five SmartKeys, and each key is worn on a collar. Pets without a paired key stay outside the selective entry.
Where does the SmartKey go?
The included SmartKey is placed in the battery box and worn on your pet's collar. It has to travel with the pet for the door to read it.
