PetSafe Microchip Cat Door with 4-Way Lock for Multi-Pet Homes

The PetSafe Microchip Cat Door gives programmed cats independent indoor-outdoor access, reading FDXB microchips and storing up to 40 pets.

• Reads a cat’s unique 15-digit microchip ID — programmed pets can enter and exit while other animals are kept out.
• Stores up to 40 pets — supports access for multi-cat households.
• Four manual lock settings — choose Locked, Unlocked, Enter Only or Exit Only.
• Two magnetic latches and built-in weather stripping — help deter unwanted entry and reduce drafts.
• Fits most wood, PVC and uPVC doors — provides installation options for common door materials.
• Battery-powered operation with a battery-change signal — alerts you when it is time to replace the batteries.

For households that want cats to move between indoors and outdoors without leaving an opening for every passing animal, this microchip-activated cat door offers controlled access. It is designed for cats with compatible microchips and for homes with more than one pet, with a manual lock to adjust access when needed.

How does the PetSafe Microchip Cat Door control which cats can enter?

The door reads FDXB microchips and grants access to pets whose IDs have been programmed into it. A cat’s microchip acts as its access key, so the door can distinguish programmed pets from animals without an approved ID. You can program as many as 40 pets, making it suitable for a multi-pet home.

Programming a cat’s microchip is designed to be quick and easy. For a pet without a microchip, a programmable collar key is available separately and can provide an alternative way to use the door.

• Microchip type: FDXB.
• Stored pet IDs: up to 40.
• Programmable collar keys for pets without a microchip are sold separately.

What access settings can I choose?

The four-way manual lock lets you set the PetSafe Microchip Cat Door to Locked, Unlocked, Enter Only or Exit Only. Choose the setting that suits your household’s routine, whether you want to pause access altogether or allow movement in just one direction.

The microchip reader manages which pets are recognized, while the manual lock gives you a separate way to control the door. This combination lets you set an access rule for programmed pets and change the door’s direction or availability as needed.

• Locked: closes access through the flap.
• Unlocked: allows movement in both directions.
• Enter Only or Exit Only: allows passage in one direction.

Which doors can the PetSafe Microchip Cat Door fit?

It fits most wood, PVC and uPVC doors. Installation in metal, glass, brick or a wall requires additional accessories, which are sold separately.

Before choosing an installation location, match the door material to the supported fitting options. For a metal or glass door, brickwork or a wall, the additional accessories are needed for installation. The cat door is intended to provide indoor-outdoor access through a suitable entry point.

• Supported door materials: most wood, PVC and uPVC doors.
• Additional accessories are required for metal, glass, brick and wall installations.

How does the door help manage drafts and battery changes?

Two magnetic latches are designed to help keep unwanted guests and prying paws from pushing through, while built-in weather stripping helps reduce drafts. The door runs on batteries and signals when they need replacing.

These features address everyday details around a cat flap: the magnetic latches help keep the closed flap in place, the weather stripping helps limit airflow, and the battery-change signal lets you know when to replace the power source.

• Two magnetic latches.
• Built-in weather stripping.
• Battery-powered, with a signal when batteries need changing.

The PetSafe Microchip Cat Door suits households with one or more cats carrying FDXB microchips, especially when owners want to manage entry and exit without granting access to unprogrammed animals. It also works for homes with pets without microchips when paired with a separately sold programmable collar key. PetSafe has focused on pet behavior, containment and lifestyle products since 1998. For the right fit, choose a supported door material or plan for the required additional accessories for other installation surfaces.
