xKeep the right cats in and the others out
The Cat Mate 4-Way-Locking Electromagnetic Cat Flap with Collar Magnet is designed for small to average-sized cats, delivering a streamlined entry experience powered by a magnet worn on your pet’s collar. This system acts as a discreet gatekeeper, enabling entry only for cats you select, while still allowing any animal to exit if needed. The result is a calm, controlled flow through your door or wall, with a soft magnetic closure that helps minimize drafts and noise.
What makes this flap stand out is a combination of practical design and adaptable installation. Two magnets are included so you can set up a reliable identification tag right away. A four-way lock gives you precise control over access: in and out, in only, out only, or fully locked. When the lock is in the unlocked position, pets can pass through; when locked, the flap stays shut to keep the space secure. The system is weatherproof, featuring a draught-proof and brush-sealed flap with a magnetic closure, plus a rain-proof seal to protect your home from the elements.
Flexible installation and robust dimensions
Installation is designed with versatility in mind. The Cat Mate flap is suitable for UPVC, metal doors, walls, or wooden doors, and it self-lines for door thickness up to 60mm (2 3/8”). This means you can install it in a range of doorway styles without extra adapters. The overall dimensions are generous enough to accommodate most small to mid-sized cats, with a practical flap opening that makes entry and exit straightforward for pets of varying temperaments.
Real-world use and practical benefits
- Exclusive access helps you maintain daytime independence for your cat while preventing unwanted visitors.
- The 4-Way Lock System offers flexible control for pets’ movements, giving you options for how your cat visits the outdoors or inside space.

Tip: The collar magnet should be attached directly to your cat’s collar with the paw print symbol facing forwards for optimal performance. Make sure the four-way lock is fully seated in the unlocked position to allow entry and exit as needed. A printable installation guide is available within the listing resources for step-by-step help.
In daily use, you may notice a crisp, quiet operation as the magnet engages, with a reliable seal that helps protect against drafts and moisture. While this solution is designed to improve access control and convenience, individual results will vary depending on your home setup and your cat’s routine.
