SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap

Superb design, and their customer service is outstanding.

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!

Works well with my cat's microchip, however it looks uncomfortable for my cat to use due to it's small size. My cat is a medium sized ragdoll and he struggles to exit, and hasn't managed to gain entry back into the house unassisted. Really wish I got the larger size.

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!

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.

I have one cat that must not access normal cat food due to him needing a specialized diet. To stop him getting to the others food we put this catflap as entry into a specific area where the others normal food is placed . It works great, very easy to operate and set up. Took the cats a while to get used to the clicking opening noise of the door as it recognizes their microchip numbers, but that was just a few days, even my 5 mth old kitten got used to it easily

We have had ours for nearly 3 years. The light flashing tells us when the batteries need changing. Other than doing that and a quick wipe over now and again that is all that is needed. It has been faultless. Thomas loves it but it is funny to see him go out as he nudges the flap with his nose till he hears the click and then exits (of course he could just go out straight away). We do have one Ginger Tom who very occationally will follow Thomas straight in and can just get through before the Flap locks, But it is rare. Of course it can get out easily. We thought of using a flap that used a device on a cat collar but Thomas managed to get all his collars of!!. I would totally recommend this flap, but do be aware it may be too small for very large cats (Bagpuss????)

I've had this cat flap for 15 months now. I didn't rush to review it because previous purchases of another leading brand always ended in disappointment with circuit boards failing due to damp, collar batteries costing a fortune, etc. but this flap is different. It was easy to instal, easy to program and after 15 months is still functioning perfectly. It's the best looking flap and easy to maintain. I've got into a routine of wiping it over with a damp microfibres cloth once a month and I check the batteries each month but the original Duracell batteries are still going strong despite two cats going in and out. My cats don't have to wear any clunky gadgets round their necks and they've never had any trouble getting in or out. They were always getting locked out when previous cat flaps and/or collar gadgets failed. And the local Tom cat hates it. Despite his best efforts he's never got past it. The best cat flap I've owned by a mile!

I have now had 2 of these cat flaps in 6 years. They in general worked fine but their failure was sudden and distrssing for the cats. In the case of the first catflap failed after 4 yrs because the small tounge stopped dropping far enough to let the door open and the cats in. Now the second catflap has suddenly started locking my cats out which is distressing for them. The symptoms appear to be the same failure as the first but I will not know until I get home at the weekend to see it. This second catflap has only been in use 2yrs. This cat flap seems to have a life span determined by the number of times it is activated and the more cats in the household the shorter the lifespan. Unfortunately it is the only product out there that works even for a while.

Love love love it and so does my cat ..Very Easy to set up for microchip, my cat got used to using his catflap within 24 hours I am delighted he can come and go as he pleases with no worries about other cats gaining entrance, I can close his access at any time if it's necessary to keep him indoors Easy to keep clean Thank you for a great product and excellent customer service

bought this cat flap had to replace panel in upvc door it only took my cat a couple of hours to work it out and the enticement of chicken definitely helped with the learning process now I know my cat can come and go all day when I am at work and I don't feel so bad that I keep her in at night.

Our rescue cat is very timid, & I was concerned that he may not adapt to using a cat flap, especially this one as it makes a slight noise when it is activated. He is also a large cat (5.3kg).To my surprise it didn't take him long to learn how to go outside through the flap, coming back in took longer as there is a drop onto the patio, but that was soon resolved by using a plank of wood as a cat ramp. He has no trouble getting through the flap, even at speed. To get it fitted in our upvc door, I simply rang a local upvc window/door manufacturer & they took our door panel away, & brought it back 3 hours later with the flap fitted (£45, well worth it). This cat flap is excellent, it may not be cheap, but for the peace of mind it provides in only allowing your own cat into the house, it's worth every penny.

For the past 18 months our cat has pretty much been a house cat Mon-Fri, eventually we decided she was ready to have her independence (!) so we did some research and bought the Sureflap. The flap does exactly what it says on the tin! The flap was easy to fit into our (new - eeek!) PVC door, my husband did it himself with household DIY tools, it feels susbtaintial and it looks really neat. I was worried that 'programming' the flap would be hard but that's also super simple and within a couple of weeks our cat was coming and going like she knew no different. We were worried at first as our cat was happy to go out but no so sure to come back in, but a few days later she got the hang of it. We found propping the door open to start with really helped. The Zooplus price is great and delivery, as always, was smooth. I would recommend this product to anyone and would deifnitely buy again. How did we live without it?!

Finally, after installing my sureflap catflap months ago, last night i kept hearing a lot of bangs coming from my kitchen. Every time i went to inspect, both my felines were just sitting by the back door looking innocent as the day they were born. Later on that evening, i came into my kitchen again to see a big ginger cats face pressed up against the clear door of the catflap just staring at me. Gave me the fright of my life !! However, the cat couldn't get in and my kitties were quite happy on the inside away from this huge cat ! The cats, their food and my house is safe from an unwelcome guest marking their territory all over our stuff thanks to sureflap !

Brilliant cat flap I have installed ours so only our older cat can get out the house. We have 2 young kittens who aren't allowed out yet but have been letting themselves out through the old cat flap. Now I don't have to worry about the kittens escaping and once the kittens are older I will turn the cat flap around and use it the way it meant to be used.

Really impressed with this cat flap. Works well and locks out other cats. The only problem is that there is no cover . So if we don't want our cat to go outside ie fireworks night or an imminent vet trip the cat flap has no cover so it leaves the cat confused as to why they cannot get outside and will keep trying the cat flap which may end up broken and with a distressed cat

Fitted SureFlap yesterday. Was not as simple as anticipated because the door was thicker than we realised. The microchip recognition process was easy and our cat started using it quite quickly, even though she had never used a catflap before. We had the brown one and it looks good in the door. Will have to put something in front of it at night when it's locked, so that she knows the difference. Bit early yet but so far I would highly recomend.

This is excellent, as is Sureflaps customer service. The first one didn't work properly so Sureflaps replaced it and paid to have it re-fitted. Replacement works like a dream. Standard size just fits my female Maine Coon. Can't recommend this highly enough.

Wish we had ordered one of these years ago! We have always had a problem with other cats coming into the house. This product was recommended by our vets when we got two new kittens and had them microchipped. It's simple to fit and totally efficient. We've had it about a six months and the battery warning light has just started to flash so it's lasted well. Would highly recommend.

We had a magnet flap and unfortunately a cat burglar also wore a magnet and started coming in & helping himself to cat food. We had to lock the flap at night & our little darling (being a cat) had got into the habit of wanting to go out about 5 mins after we got into bed!! This meant getting up & hanging around for 10 mins or so until she came back in. Since fitting this we can leave the flap open all the time again - going to bed and staying there. The chip learning process worked first time and despite our cat being elderly she started using the flap straightaway with no problems. Really fast delivery through zooplus and was easy to fit over existing hole. Its also quieter than the magnet door.

This is the second one I've ordered because the first one couldn't hold the battery charge anymore. So, I've had it since 2008, and now it's 2026, and thanks to their microchips, my three cats can use the cat flap. No other cat can get in or out, even though the latest cat flap allows a cat that might have accidentally followed one of mine inside to leave, but that's never happened. I don't understand the negative reviews—personally, I think it's great.

Works just as described. All the cats got used to the feeders very quickly. All it took was putting their favourite pouch inside and letting them sniff it. They knew it was there, just had to figure out how to get to it. A couple of times they jumped when the lid opened, but their desire for their favourite pouch was stronger. There's no smell of food at all in the flat. I already have 3 feeders for cats on different diets (one tomcat on urinary, another tomcat on no special diet, and two cats on gastrointestinal).

Cat flap in use with 2 cats for 11 years. Scanning the microchips is easy to understand and do, the flap was installed quickly and works reliably. After 11 years, the 4-way lock has worn out and falls out if a cat goes through too quickly. Had a chat with extremely friendly customer service, and now they're sending me a replacement lock free of charge. There really is still quality and service in Germany. Thanks.

We've been looking for days now because the hatch's post-installation programming isn't working when our cat wants to come in 🤢

Now on our third cat flap in five years. At first it works fine, but after about a year and a half it starts draining the batteries. Now I have to replace the batteries every day.

Just doesn't work, plain and simple.

A cat from outside pulls the flap to the side with its claws to open it and slips into the house. It has damaged the felt around the cat flap door. Problem with no solution!..

The cat flap only worked for a couple of weeks before it stopped reading the chip. We've had the chip checked by the vet and it's sitting perfectly readable in the cat's neck. We've also changed the batteries, but that didn't help. This is the second cat flap we've had that has stopped working.
