Microchip and smart dog doors, supplied and installed

We supply and install microchip and smart dog doors that recognise your dog and unlock only for them, keeping stray animals and possums out of the house.

A standard dog door opens for anything that pushes it. A microchip or electronic dog door reads your dog as they approach and stays locked to everything else, so your dog keeps their freedom without leaving a way in for the neighbourhood.

Want to understand how they work first? Read microchip pet doors explained. For cats, see microchip cat doors.

Who a microchip dog door suits

  • Homes where stray cats, other dogs or possums have found their way in through an ordinary flap
  • Homes with more than one pet, where each animal needs its own access
  • Owners who want the door locked to the outside world while their dog still comes and goes

Smart, electronic or automatic: the same idea

People call these doors different things: microchip dog doors, smart dog doors, electronic pet doors or automatic pet doors. They all do the same job. The door stays locked until it recognises your pet, then lets them through. Depending on the door, it reads your dog’s existing identification microchip or a small key worn on the collar. We help you choose the one that suits your dog and set it up for your pets before we leave; the detail is in microchip pet doors explained.

Where we can fit one

We fit microchip dog doors into glass doors, timber doors, windows and walls. See dog doors in glass, dog doors for timber doors and dog doors for walls and windows.

Which size for a microchip door

A microchip door only helps if your dog fits through it comfortably. Tell us your dog’s shoulder height and chest width and we tell you honestly whether a microchip door suits their size, or whether a standard door with a good lock is the better choice. Our dog door sizes guide explains how we choose.

What comes with it

We supply and fit the door from brands such as SureFlap and PetSafe, set it up for your pets, and the installation carries up to 3 years warranty. Pet door training is free with it, which matters more with a door that moves differently from an ordinary flap.

Microchip dog door questions

Yes. We supply the door, fit it, set it up for your pets and make sure your dog is using it before we leave.

Some electronic doors, often called smart doors, work from a key worn on the collar instead of a microchip. We help you choose the right type for your dog when we quote.

Tell us your dog’s size and we tell you honestly whether a microchip door suits their size. If it does not, we recommend a standard dog door with a good lock.

Alex and Allan were exceptional. Great customer service and the door was made and installed in less than a week. The door was made with colored glass that was perfectly matched to our existing Panels. Their workmanship and quality, as well as understanding their customer needs was the best that I had experienced. Alex was also able to provide us with training and lots of helpful advice in not only training our puppy to use the door, but also how we are to train him in all aspects of his life. By the end of the day (the day the door was installed) our puppy was already confident in using the door to exit our house. I cannot think Alex and Alan enough. They have made welcoming our new Family member so much easier.
Response from the owner:Thank you Stephanie, what a wonderful review! Colour-matched glass to your existing panels is the kind of detail we take real pride in, so it means a lot that the workmanship stood out. Love that your pup was confidently heading out the door by the end of the day. Helping you settle a new family member in is exactly why we do this. Thank you again!

This is the second time we have used Alexs services. He installed a pet door in one of my sliding glass doors a few months ago. Got him back to do the same for another door. He know what he is doing, knows the product and provides helpful hints. I have recommended him to family members.
Response from the owner:Thanks Shihab, great to have you back! Second door done and glad the first one has been serving you well. We really appreciate you recommending us to your family too. Thank you!

Really happy with our experience with Sydney Paws! Their pricing was competitive, they were transparent and clearly knew their stuff. The replacement glass is great quality. Allen was friendly, professional and did a fantastic job with the installation. Alex was also great to deal with and very responsive. They were really accommodating with the installation date, making sure we could have it done before we left for our holiday, which we really appreciated. No more having to get up and open the door for the dogs, they absolutely love it! Would definitely recommend Sydney Paws!
Response from the owner:Thank you for such a thorough review! Being upfront on pricing and knowing our product inside out is how we like to work, so it's great to hear that came through. We're always happy to work around your timing, and getting it sorted before your holiday was a no-brainer. No more playing doorman for the dogs now! We really appreciate the recommendation.

Exceptional service, product and extremely quick turn around. Left an enquiry this morning. One hour later Alex called. 30 minutes later Allen installed my pups door in the crimsafe fly screen. Thanks so much. Might be back in winter for the glass door one too! One stoked owner. 😃
Response from the owner:Now that's the kind of turnaround we love! Enquiry in the morning, pup sorted by lunch. A crimsafe screen is a great spot for a pet door. So glad you're happy with it, and we'd be keen to sort the glass door one for you come winter. Thanks so much for the review! 😃

Totally a 5 star service in every way! We had a medium pet door installed in our folding glass door and it looks awesome and works great. Alex and his team are such great guys to deal with and were happy to accommodate our personal needs as well providing excellent service, advice and tips for how to get our silly cat using the door properly. Really could not have asked for a better result. Thanks Alex and Allen!!!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Rich! A medium door in a folding glass door is a nice result, glad it looks and works great. And getting the silly cat sorted is a win in our book. Cheers from Alex and Allen!
