xOverview: selective access for multi-pet homes
The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door opens a door to smarter pet access. By reading your pet's implanted microchip or RFID collar tag, it unlocks only for approved identities, helping you create a calmer doorway and a more controlled entryway. In homes with more than one pet, the unit can remember up to 32 identities, offering a practical balance of convenience and security without relying on shared passes or manual toggles.
Designed with both big cats and small dogs in mind, this door balances accessible entry with privacy and safety. It’s built to respond quickly to your pet’s unique identification, while keeping intruders at the door. The result is less door-janging chaos and more predictable access, especially during busy morning routines or late returns from outdoor adventures.
Key specifications and fit considerations
To help your pet fit through comfortably, note these measurements: shoulder width up to 6.5 inches, and waist circumference up to 20.25 inches. The flap itself is 7 inches wide by 6.69 inches high, and the surrounding opening required for installation is 8.15 inches wide by 9.21 inches high. These dimensions are important for proper fit in doors, windows, or walls.
This unit supports both chip-based and collar-tag identification. If your pet doesn’t have a microchip, programmable collar tags are available separately to extend selective access to non-chip pets.
