Microchip Cat Doors Sydney

Welcome to the next generation of pet care. For Sydney cat owners who want to give their feline companions the independence they crave without compromising on security, the microchip cat flap is the ultimate solution. This isn’t just a simple door; it’s a smart, selective entry system that works with your cat’s existing microchip or a unique RFID collar tag.

When your cat approaches the door, an intelligent scanner reads their microchip. If it recognises their unique ID, the door unlocks, giving them exclusive access to the outdoors. For any other animal—from a stray cat to a curious possum, the door remains securely locked. It’s the perfect way to transform a restless indoor cat into a confident explorer, while ensuring your home remains a safe sanctuary.

Explore our full range of cat door options to find the ideal fit for your home.

Microchip Cat Door Features

Our microchip cat doors are designed with a host of advanced features that give you complete control and peace of mind.

Designed for Bigger Adventures

Unlike standard cat flaps, our microchip cat door is larger in size, making it a great solution for larger cat breeds and even some smaller dogs. The door features selective entry, which means the microchip reader is located only on the exterior of the door, allowing your pets to exit freely while preventing any unrecognised animals from re-entering your home.

Customise Your Cat’s Schedule

With our innovative curfew mode, you can set your microchip cat door to lock and unlock at specified times. This is a fantastic feature for keeping your cat safely indoors during the night, when outdoor risks are higher. The curfew mode can be set to lock at the same time each day, providing a consistent and secure routine for your cat.

Reliable, Long-Lasting Power

The microchip cat door is powered by batteries, providing up to 12 months of battery life (4 x C cell batteries, not included). A low battery indicator will flash when the batteries need changing, giving you plenty of time to replace them before your cat’s access is interrupted. Even when the batteries are removed, the cat door remembers all registered pets, so you never have to reprogram it.

Flexible Access and Security

For added flexibility, the door includes a manual lock that allows you to stop your cat from leaving or entering the house at any time. You can set it to an “in-only” mode, for example, to enable your cat to come indoors without being able to go back out again. Each cat door also comes with one RFID collar tag, which can be used if your pet is not microchipped.

Universal Microchip Compatibility

The microchip cat flap is designed to work with all identification microchips worldwide and SureFlap RFID collar tags. It will work with most microchips, ensuring seamless compatibility for almost every pet. With the capacity to store up to 32 pet identities in its memory, it’s perfect for multi-cat households.

Seamless Installation for Any Home

Our expert team can install your microchip cat door in any door, window, or wall of your home. We offer a range of accessories for window and wall installations, ensuring a professional and discreet fit that complements your home’s design.

FAQs About Microchip Cat Doors in Sydney

A microchip cat door is a high-tech solution that acts as a personalised, secure entry point for your pet. The door is equipped with a scanner that reads the unique microchip already implanted in your cat, which acts as their key. This advanced technology ensures that the door will only unlock and open for your specific pet, providing them with the freedom to come and go while preventing any stray animals or other uninvited guests from entering your home. It’s a seamless and convenient way to give your cat independence without compromising your home’s security.

If your cat isn’t microchipped yet, that’s not a problem! In such cases, microchip cat doors can also be programmed to work with an RFID collar tag instead. This small, lightweight tag functions in the same way as a microchip, granting your cat exclusive access. It’s an excellent alternative for pets who are not yet chipped, allowing them to benefit from the door’s security and convenience immediately.

Absolutely. The security of your home and the safety of your pet are our top priorities, and microchip cat doors are designed with both in mind. The primary safety feature is their ability to prevent unwanted animals, like stray cats, possums, or even rats, from entering your home. This is a huge relief for owners who worry about fights or the spread of disease. Additionally, these doors feature robust locking mechanisms and a snug flap closure that provides a strong, secure seal, ensuring only your pet can pass through.

Yes, our microchip cat doors are specifically designed to cater to multi-cat households. They can store multiple pet profiles, so if you have several cats, each one can be programmed to use the same door. This is especially useful if you need to set custom access settings for individual pets, for example, allowing one cat outside while keeping another (like a new kitten or an indoor-only cat) safely inside. We once helped a customer with five cats, and each one had custom access settings, which completely solved their accidental midnight escapes.

Yes, our microchip cat doors are designed to be compatible with all common microchips. You can rest assured that your pet’s existing microchip will function seamlessly with the door’s scanner. This compatibility means you won’t need to purchase or install any new hardware for your cat, making the setup process simple and straightforward.

The doors are powered by batteries and are designed for a long lifespan, typically lasting up to 12 months. To prevent a lockout, they feature a low battery indicator that gives you ample warning when the batteries need to be changed. This feature ensures you have plenty of time to replace them and avoid any interruption in your cat’s access. The door also has a fail-safe manual lock for peace of mind.

This is one of the key benefits of a microchip cat door. Many models come with programmable timer or “curfew mode” features. This functionality allows you to set specific times for the door to lock and unlock, giving you complete control over your cat’s access. You can program it to lock at dusk to keep them safely indoors at night and then unlock again in the morning, which provides the perfect balance of freedom and security.

Our expert installers can fit microchip cat doors into a wide range of door types and materials. These doors can be professionally installed in glass sliding doors, timber doors, and even walls. Our team ensures a precise, clean fit that maintains your home’s integrity and aesthetics while providing your cat with the freedom they deserve.

Choosing us means you’re partnering with a team of pet lovers first and foremost. We specialise in providing tailored solutions that prioritise your cat’s comfort and security. Our high-quality microchip cat doors are backed by a three-year warranty, and our professional installation process ensures a seamless, no-mess experience. We take pride in helping you create a home where you and your pets can truly thrive.
