PetSafe Installation Adapter, Mounting Adapter for Installation of PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap and Manual Cat Flap, for Glass, Walls and Metal Doors, White

Great Door! Installed in the side of the house into the garage when we adopted a neighbor’s outdoor cat. We keep it on manual mode allowing entry into and out of the garage. So far, So Good. The cat hadnt used a door before so we taped it open for a few days, enticed him into the garage with treats and and let him use the door that way for several days before closing the door. The cat figured out how to push it open by himself. :)

We still have not installed this door because the locking/unlocking mechanism is too sluggish and unresponsive for my cats to reliably move through it. We bought it to solve the problem of our cats’ constant urge to go outside and come back in while preventing raccoons from coming indoors. The locking mechanism was extremely hard to learn even with the written instructions, and i had to call customer service to finally get it to work. Also, despite the fact that my cats were microchipped, it did not reliably “recognize” them and unlock quickly enough. When i bought the rfid tags to use on my cats’ collars, those too were not easily snd promptly “recognized” by the locking/unlocking mechanism, making my cats extremely averse to even using the door. We were also concerned about how much cold it would allow through our door in the winter, so my husband declined even mounting the door. So basically i spent around $120 for the door snd the rfid tags and it took so long to try to get it to work i missed the return window on Amazon. So it is sitting, unused, in a box in our garage. It was disappointing to have spent so much time and energy researching a decent cat door only to have it not work as expected. 😩

My advice,save your money and time returning this thing It does not amplify the chip reader ability in a door at all.Tried it with two different cat doors.you just end up with a large hole in your door and having to buy another product.
