SureFlap Mikrochip Katzenklappe Connect

At first it wasn't working very reliably on my metal door, I went back and made the opening an extra 1/2" larger, leaving just two metal tabs of the door to anchor the trim. I only did this on the outside/exit side of the door, didnt touch the inside and its touching the frame of the sureflap and it works 100% of the time. Try this before dropping another $20 on the metal door frame, I really only think you need that for glass. Didnt cut any extra of the foam core of the door either so it stayed snug, used expanding foam insulation spray before putting the trim on. Make sure you use the expanding foam for vinyl windows, the regular foam will put pressure on the sureflap as it dries and could cause the flap to not flap because its being squeezed. That regular construction foam will bend window and door frames as it dries and your door wont close. At first we used some tape to hold the flap open so they would just use the hole for a while and the sure flap would click and they would freak out at first. Then we let the door down and used some tape stuck to the door so when they would walk up we would lift the door from the inside and then let it down on them so they could get used to it on their back as they slid through. Really only did that for one cat, the other just started following the first one. Watching them go through from the back is amusing, the fat cat looks like a seal with its legs both sticking straight out as she pulls herself through with her front paws. I was very surprised how fast they got used to it. Good deal and very functional, cant believe how well the chip reader works. Were still on first set of batteries, with two cats using the door 20+ times a day after 3 months.

Die Klappe macht genau das, was sie soll. Sie ist einfach zu bedienen. Der Einbau ist einfach. Und: sie funktioniert einwandfrei.

Mes deux chats se sont très vite habitués à entrer et sortir, le bruit de l’ouverture et fermeture n’est vraiment si bruyant que ça . Un des deux a trouvé le moyen de contourner la programmation de la fermeture en tirant la porte vers lui mais le service après-vente m’a vite envoyé une nouvelle porte et je n’ai plus aucun problème ! Pas besoin d’acheter de pendantifs à puce pour déclencher le système , la puce vétérinaire fonctionne très bien . Je recommande !

Muy útil. Pero la puerta no es nada silenciosa

Crisis, After 7 years, her old catflap stopped working. (I knew something wasn't right for months and chose to ignore it) So emergency order put in for this flap. It arrived a few hours later, and I was able to quickly remove the old one and get this installed. The old flap was an older version of the same catflap, just without the connect functionality. Swapping out the catflap couldn't have been much easier, remove a couple of covers, remove the screws, then put the new one in place and do up the screws. Add batteries, press the button to add my cat to the flap and hey presto, it's up, running and configured. She's once again happy, and able to come and go as she pleases, and I'm happy that it's going to stay secure when she's not activating it. Combining this with a set of good quality lithium AA rechargeable batteries and this should serve our needs for the next 7 years, hopefully longer. The addition of the connect functionality looks like a fascinating upgrade, I like that the footprint of the flap has not changed from the older models, so it did not require any further modifications to my door. It's also great that my cat also now has a brand new crystal clear door to look out of before we goes through. The old one, showed signs of wear, but hey it was 7 years old. I feel that whilst the cat flap isn't the cheapest, the quality more than makes up for it, with the promise of 7 years expected life, it will pay for itself in the peace of mind that I have knowing that my cat has her own personal entrance, that cannot be used by anything else.
