Really disappointed with this cat flap. I upgraded from a microchip cat flap due to one of my cats being hit by a car as the night was drawing in, so wanted to get a cat flap that I could set the open and closing times on . One of my cats is having real trouble getting in through the flap, sometimes it lets him in and sometimes it doesn't. The company have been helpful when contacted, but my poor cat is sometimes stranded outside and unable to get into the house :-(

I've had two of these. Started out great, but within a year, went haywire opening/closing of it's own accord with no cats near it! Manufacturer replaced as still within 3 year warranty, but the replacement they sent me has the same fault 2.8 years later! Now impossible to use as it keeps either locking them in or out, the display is broken and I've tried resetting and new batteries to no avail. Manufacturer refuses to replace the second unit.
