The Technology Behind the Microchip Pet Door
Traditional cat flaps can’t tell the difference between your cat and the local strays. The microchip cat flap uses your pet’s unique identification microchip to control access. It scans for the ID stored in your cat’s chip and opens only when it matches an approved entry.
No chip? No problem. It also works with an RFID collar tag (sold separately) — ideal for cats without implanted chips. The flap can store up to 32 pet identities, making it perfect for households with multiple pets or future adoptees.
With this smart access, you won’t have to worry about raccoons, strays, or curious critters wandering inside ever again.

Easy Installation and Setup
Installing the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap is easier than you might think. Whether it’s mounted into a wooden door, a wall, or even glass, the unit is designed for flexibility. You can purchase mounting adapters or tunnel extenders separately if needed for thicker walls or specialty materials.
The installation process typically takes less than an hour with basic tools. The setup interface is straightforward — just press a button, let your cat walk through once, and the flap learns the microchip ID instantly. That’s it.
It’s battery-operated (using 4 AA batteries), so there’s no need for wiring, and it alerts you when power runs low. Most users report several months of use on a single set of batteries.
Security Without Sacrificing Freedom
Your cat loves exploring — but not every visitor is welcome. That’s why this microchip pet door is built to keep intruders out while letting your cat roam freely.
The locking mechanism is strong and secure, and the flap stays shut even during high winds or attempted breaches. Its selective entry mode means only programmed microchips get through. Other animals, even if they try to push or paw at the door, will find it firmly shut.
This selective access is especially important if you’ve dealt with aggressive neighbor cats, food thieves, or unwanted messes. With this cat flap, you regain full control over who gets in and out.

Designed for Cats of All Sizes
Worried about sizing? The flap opening is 4 3/4” (H) by 5 5/8” (W) — spacious enough for most cats, including larger breeds like Maine Coons. The outer dimensions fit standard door panels, making it an easy addition to any home.
It’s also a great option for aging or less agile cats, as the flap swings open easily once unlocked. Unlike manual models, this door won’t resist your cat’s gentle push.
Always measure your cat before purchasing to ensure a comfortable fit, but for the majority of house cats, this flap is a perfect match.

Ideal for Multi-Cat Households
If you have more than one feline friend, the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap becomes even more useful. You can register up to 32 different pets to the flap, allowing you to manage access without stress.
You can also combine this with optional accessories from Sure Petcare, like the hub for activity tracking or the DualScan model for both entry and exit control. That means you can allow some cats outside access while keeping others safely indoors — especially useful for cats with medical needs or different routines.
This level of control helps reduce fights, stress, and health risks among pets.
Durable Design and Weather Resistance
This cat flap isn’t just smart — it’s built to last. Made with durable plastic and a secure locking system, the flap resists wear from daily use. The sealed flap and magnetic closure help keep drafts out and your home energy-efficient.
It performs well in all seasons, from rainy autumns to snowy winters. Users in various climates report great insulation and no freezing issues, making this a reliable year-round addition to your home.

It also reduces the chance of accidents or injuries during late-night returns, when manual doors might be locked or forgotten.
For many owners, this technology becomes a safety net — one they can’t imagine living without.
