About this product
Cats coming and going on their own schedule makes life easier, but neighbourhood strays wandering into your kitchen at 3am disrupt peace. The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap uses your cats existing microchip as an electronic key to keep out intruders while letting your cats move freely. Suitable for small to medium cats up to 6kgs, it stores up to 32 cats without collars. Battery powered with 4xAA batteries and works with all microchips, it gives independence without unwanted visitors.
The 4-way lock controls access completely - in only, out only, open or locked - which helps during vet visits or when you want them safely indoors. The plastic construction wipes clean and fits into glass, wood and most PVC doors, though glass installations need a mounting adaptor. Flap size of 142mm wide by 120mm high suits cats with shoulder width up to 14.2cm. It fits most standard cat flaps without complicated DIY work.

Very pleased with SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap
It took a while to train the cat to use this but we got there in the end, and now he's happy to use it, and has fully agency of when he goes in and out. It's fitted in the UPVC door. I got a friend to fit it for me - he checked there wasn't reinforcement in the door first, and it was a bit tricky because of moulding, so it needed silicone around it to keep it weatherproof, but it's well-fitted and looks good. It takes four AA batteries (not supplied) which should last a long time. I like the fact that it uses the cat's microchip for him to gain access, so hopefully I won't come home to find all the neighbourhood cats in the kitchen. I wasn't sure it had worked at first as there was no audible or visible sign it had registered, but it had. Has four access settings, so if I want, for example, for him to come in and not go out again (if I want him in for an appointment, for example) I can set it that way. Looks well-made and durable. Very pleased with it so far.

Can’t be without it!
Easy to install cat flap with excellent, can’t be without microchip recognition to automatically let in our cat only and allow her ease of access all day and night. Our cat is super happy with it and it’s literally changed her confidence since other more aggressive cats now know they can’t just come in. Would highly recommend if you don’t already have a microchip flap!

It's fine.
Bought as a direct replacement for a previous sureflap cat flap, which had had a busy life. Fitted well, and no problems so far with the cat using it.

Doesn’t quite work
Unfortunately the chip reader doesn’t read my cat with just her head stuck in the opening. In theory it works but only after she’s passed through do I hear the Gluck of the latch going down. I’ve had to cello tape it down to make it work so the chip reader is defunct and other cats get in.

Ultra reliable
This is the 4th property where I have installed a Sureflap microchip cat flap and I have never been let down. They are very easy to fit and only let in the cat or cats registered in their memory.

Quite good and works well
I thought very carefully about buying this as first of all I actually bought a cat mate one, which was white and half the price of this as it was on special. As my door is brown, this annoyed me as I really wanted a brown one to blend in with door, but they didn’t have the brown in stock. I then I read up on which make was the better and reviews said sureflap. so I returned the white one and bought this one. Now my cat is notorious for staying out all night, and she catches mice. This deterred me from getting a cat flap as she brings them in. I then found out about an AI attachment that fits to the flap, and it works by recognising if the cat has prey in it’s mouth, then the AI detects that and won’t unlock the flap. Having seen the cat mate one compared to this, I do have to say that that one looked more well constructed, and had a gasket for the outside which the sureflap doesn’t, this is not what I read on the net before buying the sureflap one and reviews said that was the better one, it did however say that the sureflap was better at detecting the microchip compared to the cat mate, but I will never really know this. It was fairly easy to install with a jigsaw in a upvc door, but I’d seriously recommend taking the door off to do the job flat. It was a bit tricky doing it in situ. Overall the flap has been working in conjunction with the AI attachment, which is called zeromouse, (although it’s yet to catch her with prey in mouth) and my cat wears an RFID tag which I had to buy separately. This all means that I don’t get a disturbed sleep having to get up to let my cat in, and more importantly she can come and go when she wants.

Great Cat flap but check the size!
The SureFlap is superbly made and very easy to fit and programme. The only issue which needs consideration is the size of the flap relative to the cat. Our 6.5kg Bengal was too large for the cat flap, and we are now going to purchase a SureFlap pet door which has a significantly larger entry flap. I believe it would be useful to display the maximum cat weight relative to the product on the external packaging.

Fabulous
Bought this as a replacement for my old one I have had for years, love this cat flap, it’s solid and well made, stops other cats from coming in uninvited. Works amazingly.

Yes, it has a 4-way lock with a manual locking system, so you can set it to locked at night. It is described as using your cat's microchip to keep out intruders, and the review summary says it is reliable and effectively restricts access to registered cats only.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Mac,
No, this SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap will not fit straight out of the box because your existing hole is too large.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello there,
The supplier has advised for the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap: The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap works with your cat’s existing implanted microchip. To register the chip, simply press the button on the cat flap and then guide your cat through it once. When the flashing light on the cat flap stops flashing after the cat passes through, it means the chip has been successfully learned by the unit.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Lisa,
SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap.
The flap has a central magnet that helps prevent it from swinging in the wind.

Hello there,
The supplier has advised for the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap: The microchip cat flap can be fitted to a bathroom door and is suitable for allowing your cats access to the room. However, as the flap is not 100% draught-free, it is unlikely to fully contain odours as well.
In terms of hygiene, the product itself is designed for pet use and can be cleaned regularly,
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello DaveD,
The supplier has advised the following for the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap:
When changing the batteries on the SureFlap, the chip does not need to be reprogrammed as it stays in memory.
