Overview

SureFlapTM cat flaps recognise the ID chip already implanted in your cat, allowing access to your pet and making unwanted visitors a thing of the past. Your home becomes a secure environment for your pet, leading to a happier, more relaxed animal.

No need for a collar or tag which can get lost or even worse caught on branches, etc.flap1

Operation
Operation of SureFlapTM couldn’t be simpler. Once the unit is installed and the batteries put in place, the flap can be put into learn mode. The next time your cat passes through the flap, the unique ID code of its chip is put into memory. Now SureFlapTM unlocks whenever your cat wants to come into the house.

Multiple cats are no problem. Up to 32 cats can be programmed into the flap at the same time.

Battery life
Typical battery life is greater than 6-months. A low battery indicator is provided to tell you when replacement batteries are needed.

Manual lockflap2
The 4-way manual lock allows you to lock the door in any combination of in/out. For example vet mode allows your cat to enter the house but keeps him inside for the next trip to the vet.

Why SureFlapTM
SureflapTM has been developed in conjunction with vets and animalcare (identichip) the UK's leading microchipping orgainisation. It has a number of benefits over the other models available on the market being that it does not require hard wiring into your mains supply, the scanner is built around the entire flap so there are unlikely to be any problems if your pets chip has migrated, and finally the number of cats which can programmed is much greater than that of all other models.

FAQ'S


What is a microchip?

A microchip is a tiny implant about the size of a grain of rice. In a painless procedure, your vet injects this under the skin of your cat, between the shoulder blades. Your cat now has a permanent ID without the worry of a collar or tag becoming detached.

The microchip is computer readable and lasts indefinitely as it doesn't need a battery to operate. Each microchip has a unique ID number that is put onto a central database together with your address details.

If your cat becomes lost then all vets and re-homing centres are equipped with a special scanner to read the microchip. They can simply look up the ID number on the database and give you a call to return your cat.

Microchips don't contain any battery and therefore have an indefinite lifetime. The special scanner required to read the microchip supplies the tiny amount of power it needs each time it is read.

Also, there is no limit to the number of times that the microchip can be read. It should continue running at least as long as your cat!

Yes. SureFlapTM has been designed to work with by far the most common type of microchip, the FDX-B (15-digit) that is used throughout the UK and the rest of Europe. If in doubt then your vet can confirm the microchip type in your animal.

When SureFlapTM is put in learn mode then the door is unlocked. The next cat to go through the flap has its microchip read and the code put in memory, permanently. Your cat will now be recognised by SureFlapTM.

Using this learn mode you don't have to force an uncooperative cat through the flap. Just leave SureFlapTM in learn mode and let him go through in his own good time... Simply repeat this process with multiple cats.

Can another cat have the same microchip number and get in?

No. Each microchip has a unique ID number, so next door's cat has no chance of making it through the flap.

We can help Contact Us to book an appointment. The procedure is a quick, painless injection of the microchip between the shoulder blades of your cat.

Even if you exceed the limit of 32 cats, then the oldest codes are replaced first. There is also the option to wipe the memory if you mistakenly program the wrong cat in...

What happens when I change batteries - is the memory kept?

Yes. Once a cat is learnt then it stays in memory whether the batteries are in place or not.

Full mounting instructions are provided in the user manual.

What type of doors can SureFlapTM go in?

Full fitting instructions for all door types are given in the user manual.
Fitting in most door types is straightforward. If installing SureFlapTM in a metal door then an oversize hole is required in order to operate (full details in the manual). An easy check for a steel plate in your door is with a magnet.
