General Information for
Electronic Pet Doors for Doors
There are three main reasons to get an 'electronic' pet door:
To let your pets in and out while keeping out neighborhood pets and
other animals.
Keep one pet in, often
a cat, while letting others out.
To improve
security--a person can't get in either.
In addition to these, there are a few more less common ones:
If you haven't got one of these reasons,
we recommend you select a manual pet door. It will be simpler, less
expensive and more reliable.
On the other hand, if you're not sure then consider the
CatWalk Wood
Fitting. It's an inexpensive manual cat flap that can be easily upgraded
to a magnetic cat flap.
Once you decide to get an electronic pet
door, there are a whole set of issues to think about. We think you
should take a look at our "Suggestions"
page first. It will give advice for the most common situations.
If you need additional collar keys, you'll
find them at "Collar
Keys". It's always a good idea to keep a spare handy in case of
loss.
Some of the smaller sized ones--the "cat
flaps"--will accept tunnel sections which enable installation through a
wall. These tunnels sections, or "liners" are found at "Cat
Door Tunnel Sections".
If you're on this page because your flap
is broken, don't replace the entire pet door! You can find a replacement
flap for most cat flaps at "Flaps
'n Parts" |
