Dog Mate Electromagnetic Small Dog/Large Cat Flap Door - 259W

Amazing!! Works for my 20 lb Cat. Keeps the dog away from his food and litter Box!! Worth every penny, I have had this door for 4 years now still works like new.

I ordered this dog door so that our little dog could go out but I didn't want the cats to go out. Its also hard for my 83 yr old mother to have to jump up to let the little dog out when I'm at work.When it came I found that the box was torn on the ends as though it had been opened before. I thought oh well maybe it had been checked or something.Once I took it out of the package I noticed the clear door was scrached as though it had been used already. I figured it was not that bad and as it gets used its bound to get scrached a little anyway.I paid 75.00 to have the door installed by a carpenter. (so I have invested 145.00 to purchase the door and have it installed) The carpenter was as baffied as I was as to why the door would not work properly.I tried to call the phone number on the paper work that came with it and a recorded message said they were only open Monday- Friday, since this was Saturday The guy that installed it left and I decided to call on Monday.I called all day long and the phone rang and rang until it would finally go to a busy signal. No recorded message this time.This door claims it has 4 way locking ( locked, out only, in only and unlocked) the only position which works is locked and unlocked. the catch doesn't catch for the, In Only and Out Only settings. I did put a brand new 9v battery in it so this is not the problem.It seems to me that this must have been returned to the seller by someone else and they just passed it on to me. If I knew how this company did business I would not have purchased their product! I will continue to try to contact the seller to get satisfaction and if They make it good will rewrite this review to reflect that, but be aware before you buy....Up date 8-9-2013 Did finally reach this company which said I could return it and if they found it to be faulty then they would consider a refund. They would not pay for return shipping and I hired someone to put it in at a cost of 75.00 dollars, so the thought of having him come back and take it out plus fill the hole in temp. until the company made it decision was very upsetting. I in the end decided to just keep it and leave it unlocked. I would not buy this product or buy from this company again and wrote this hoping to save someone else from my experience.

At first this door worked great! My dog got the hang of it very quickly and it was not to big of a problem to install! However within a few months it stopped working, which it shouldn't have because it had a brand new battery. Sometimes the locks get stuck or don't work properly. So now every time my pup goes outside i am forced to listen for her scratching so i can open the door for her to re-enter. Not to mention when it was installed in my wall, the battery is placed inside of this door, so if i replaced the battery i would have to re-cut my wall just to get the door out then go through the trouble of rebuilding it again.

Door works perfectly. My shih tzu is very timid and easily frightened but is not bothered by lock's small click when coming in.She is also not the smartest dog on the block but it didn't take her long to learn to use it.(sorry, Sugar) I worry about the battery running out and her being locked out so I wrote the date that I installed a fresh battery so that I can keep up with how long the battery lasts. Door itself is a bit flimsy and thin but so far it has held up well. We installed it on a wall and put doggie door flush with outside wall. We just put some blocks for her climb so that locking mechanism would be even with her collar when she stood at door. The magnet itself is kind of big and it won't fit on collars that have a "click" lock. I just bought a collar with a buckle and problem solved.

I bought this based on reviews from this site and others. We have two dachshunds. It works fine for the smaller one, but the larger one can't get in position because the magnet hangs too close to his chest and his nose is a bit too long. If his legs were two inches longer and his nose three inches shorter... well you get the idea. Not such a great door for dachshunds. I did manage to get it to work with a large and expensive rare earth magnet but thought that might be bad for the dog so the tabs are taped so it will always swing open both ways.

I purchased these for my two large indoor/outdoor cats back in 2010. I didn't install them until early 2011. I already had a pet door set up in my garage entryway but I didn't like leaving my garage door cracked open allowing other neighborhood cats to come into my house and eat their food.Once I installed this in the wall in my garage leading to the side of my house, my cats had the freedom to come and go as they pleased. Since they were use to the other door, it took them less than a day to get used to the new door. I had to tape a small weight to the door to ensure it would close all the way after they entered. The collar magnets that come with the door are sized for dogs so they looked bulky on my cats. They do sell a smaller collar magnet but my cats did well with them. By the way, the door kept the other animals out.Sadly, both cats have since passed due to illnesses that come with old age. Everyday I look at the pet door and it reminds me of how happy they both were being able to come and go as they pleased. It will be used again when we finally decide to get a new kitten.Great memories....

I tried the doggie door before installing it and it didn't work. The door was hard to close and open with the collar magnet devices. Most of the time the dorr didn't want to work at all. This seemed to me to be very cheaply made. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I hope this was just a bad unit but I'd say buyer beware.
