Bit wary when I bought this item - for 2 large cats - but certainly did exactly what it says on the box. One of my cats not at all keen because of the loud click the catch makes but when re-set delay to maximum he was OK with it and over time I was able to reduce the time delay on the locking mechanism to default. Certainly reduced the stress levels in the house! Just moved so need to get another one!

Purchased one on 15th Feb 2015. Impressed until the last 2weeks when another cat is getting in ??. New batteries,clean silver strip etc,the 'stray' is still getting in !!. Need your help please,

Don't waste your money on a "magnet controlled" flap from a different manufacturer (clunky, unpredictable, badly designed). The SureFlap flap WORKS. The clicks did not put off my cat - she found the newness of the flap a little stiff at first. But she got it within 2 days. The 10 second delay option has been brilliant, giving her a chance to keep trying until the flap opens.

brought one for the back door and one for the side of the house has my cat broke his leg so was concerned about him jumping fences once his leg had knitted best thing i've ever brought gave me peace of mind my cat's love to come and go as they please

These are the best thing ever! I have one cat with CKD that must not eat regular cat food and two others who have gotten plump from eating the calorie dense renal food that they don't need. I did need two one for each food type and they are expensive but well worth it. If you have been trying to manually monitor food for cats you know how time consuming it is, you won't look back with these, they are very simple to use as well!

Now little miss greedy cannot eat all the food and little miss picky can eat throughout the day as she wishes Would suggest consider including batteries in pack

The locking wheel prong broke which enabled any cat to come so the first night I had to sellotape the door shut. I emailed Sureflap that evening & got an automated reply. It didn't stop there cos I got another email the next morning asking me for serial no and address & they were going to send replacement free. Sure enough, the next day I received it in the post. Wow! Never had such good service, excellent. I've been very pleased with cat flap, does exactly what it says on the 'tin.'

Apart from the loud motor alerting greedy cat that model cat is snacking, and waking us up from the hall, this is a great product.

Just like everyone else, my cats all have different dietary needs. One is overweight at 7kg, due to helping herself to the others' food; one has recently been put on medication for her arthritis; and the other likes to graze, as and when the mood takes her. I have bought 3 of these products and they truly do what they are designed to do. Only one cat was nervous of the motorised lid, but she eventually overcame that.

Got it 6 months ago. Was easy to install and never failed. Even when my cat has a fight and is chased after by the neighbors cats right behind her, they are instantly blocked outside.Great! It also makes a locking click noise (discrete) that tells me when she comes back into the house too which I like. Don't listen to the bad reviews, of course it happens to be unlucky and get the odd faulty one. I was a bit worried when I read them but I've obviously got a great working one.

We have had our sure flap for about two years. Before that we had a petporte but it just never seemed to work properly. The sure flap works unflinchingly and has done since installation. Our cats trust this one.. I thoroughly recommend sure flap. Also their customer support is nothing short of superb.

This Cat Flap detects his microchip in his neck & the dial is easy to understand. It took our Caesar 24 hrs to get used to it. Disappointed that the extra collars come at an additional cost; it doesn't come in the box! I ordered the additional part to have it fitted in our double glazed door & for a fee of £160 our local glazing company had our glass cut and it fitted within 2 weeks. I should have ordered the one with the auto timer to save getting up to change the dial, but I am happy.

This is a very good product but do note the size of the opening. Our cat is medium sized and fits through well but not a lot of room to spare. Following the fitting instruction about placement helps, belly height. We only have the one cat so expect the batteries to last for many months. Very good but not for big cats.

Superb design, and their customer service is outstanding.

My two cats - who were both used to using cat doors - hated the clicking sound of the lock and refused to use the door at all. We disabled the microchip reader and it still took a week of treats to encourage them through it. After another week, they were coming and going without hesitation. We then re-introduced the microchip reader, but with an additional time delay before the door locks, and they are both using it without any problem. Our intruder can no longer enter to steal food and sleep in our lounge! Great door. Love the curfew mode.

I now have 2 of this little gems. Stringer has his on a 4 inch high stand to make it easier for him as he is tall, I have also added the RFID tag to help him open the feeder as his microchip does not always work due to his size. So now he is happy and only he eats his food. Dylan and Molly are also happy with the other feeder and have tags on their collars for ease. With a little ingenuity you can make these work for big cats, very happy customer! (See photos)

I have 2 large cats, the pet door is the perfect size. We've been having a neighbourhood cat coming in and spraying all over the house and making my cats very nervy and jumpy, since fitting this new door I am delighted to say that my house no longer smells of cat pee and both my cats now use the flap with no problems, after one of them being scared by the loud clicking sound initially after a few days he was fine. We'll worth every penny!

This cat flap really is fab! I was worried about putting a hole in the door but the instructions are spot on and it was very easy to fit. It still fascinates me each time our cat comes in using it. I taught him to use it within minutes by encouraging him to go through with his fave treat before we actually fitted it. Then used the manual mode twice before putting in the batteries. Worked a treat! Thank you so much for such a great product!

This is a lifesaver for me. I have a fat Maine Coon who weighs over 11kg and needs to be on a diet, unfortunately his brother likes the diet food too and wolfs it all down and as it is very expensive this is not good. To date I have had to feed the diet food and watch while he eats then pick it up. As cats are grazers this is not working well for any of us and I cannot leave food down whilst I am at work all day. This little device is fabulous, Stringer picked it up straight away and was not nervous at all. It saves me getting up and down and stops Dylan eating all the diet food. I am now going to purchase another one for my other 2 Maine Coons so their food is safe from Stringer.The only slight problem is as the Maine Coons are tall they have to stoop right in to open the lid, a larger version for big cats and Spaniel size dogs would be great, surely dogs have this problem too? I am still giving 5 stars though as it is a fantastic product.

I have a one year old Tom cat and we have only just purchased this flap, had it installed in an aluminium door by professional installers. When in learning mode the red led flashes once per second, the cat has gone out/in as we leave the rotary selector for both ways. As the cat goes out the led repetitions increase, I presume that the reason for this is that the flap has picked up the cats micro chip. I then push the button once, this brings the lock up allowing the cat to go out, but only come in if the chip on the cat is sensed, opening the lock and allowing the cat entry. However I can never tell if it's working properly as when I get up the cat is out and cannot seem to get back in or isn't trying very hard. He passes through the flap both ways in learning mode but that leaves the flap open to other cats as well. I have reset the system several times now with no success. Still not sure if it's the cats chip or the cat flap or just me the operator.
