13 best automatic pet door

Product description

Engineered for performance, design, value and extreme reliability, Power Pet doors are motor driven and activated by a tiny ultrasonic collar. Other electronic pet doors merely unlock a hinged panel, requiring your pet to push it open. That's something that a lot of pets don't like to do. Patented Power Pet doors open completely under their own power. They feature a translucent door panel made of a new super-strength, bulletproof resin. When your pet approaches, the air-tight panel quickly and quietly powers upward, disappearing into the stylish housing. Because the panel moves up and down and does not swing out, it can be mounted in hermetically sealed grooves for air-tight closure. This mounting arrangement makes it impossible for an intruder to kick it out. An automatic dead-bolt locking feature adds a higher level of security to your home. The result is the most secure pet door against intruders and stray animals. Your pets are empowered to come and go as they please. Their animal friends are politely asked to stay out. Power Pet doors are completely wind and weather-proof with an air-tight sealing system. Power Pet's directional sensing system is pretty amazing as well. The digitally coded signal emitted from your pet's ultrasonic transmitter collar allows the Power Pet to work almost like magic, opening only when your pet is on a direct approach. 4-way access control lets you select from In Only, Out Only, Full Access or Closed and Locked. Dual range controls let you set independent inside and outside activation distances. Panel size: 12-1/4 by 16-inch for pets up to 100-pound. Operates on AC adapter (included). Optional backup battery (model B12V-1.3) snaps into the battery compartment to keep your Power Pet door functioning in the case of a power outage, or if you prefer to operate solely on battery power. Door is also operated by Humane Contain RX-10 multi-function collar for X-10 dog fence system.

• Motor driven vertically-sliding door is activated by MS-4 ultrasonic collar
• Directional sensing system opens the door only when your pet is on a direct approach, not when he is just wandering by or sleeping next to the door
• 4-way access control lets you select from In Only, Out Only, Full Access or Closed & Locked
• Wind and weatherproof with airtight seal; automatic deadbolt locking adds a level of security higher than any other pet door
• Panel size: 12-1/4 by 16-inch for pets up to 100-pound, Kindly refer user manual and instruction video for reference.

User questions & answers

Question:	How bulky is the collar for a 7lb cat
Answer:	The sensor measures 2" long by 1" wide by about 5/8" thick. Our cat is 12 lb and it doesn't seem to bother her though it looks a bit large to me. Be sure to buy extra batteries for the collar - we tried to solder our own (they are a regular type of battery that has the contacts modified) and it didn't work. The collar ran out of juice, so we had to pay overnight shipping to get new batteries, and to spend the night opening and closing the door for the cat.
Question:	Has anyone installed this door when owning two dogs of vastly different heights? (Corgi & Lab for example) What height did you install the door at
Answer:	I have two large doors installed, one is mounted so bottom of door is at floor level for a Beagle with IVDD that has a no jump order from her vet due to spinal damage. The other is mounted high for large German Shepherds. Added a deck platform outside with ramp since elevation was too high for either. Incidentally one of my 100lb dogs actually prefers the lower mount door, and just ducks down when she goes through it, and it works great for her. So it really depends on the dogs, how much they mind jumping versus ducking.
Question:	Does the door have a timer feature? i.e at 10pm only let the dog inside but not out
Answer:	Unfortunately, there is no type of built-in timer feature. You can definitely set it up so the dog can go in but not out, but you'd have to plug the door's adaptor into an external timer to get the functionality you want - i.e., if the dog was outside you'd have to have the door plugged into a timer that had the door turned completely off. Then you could have it power up at your set time and I think the door would remember that you had it set for entrance only. However, if the power failed & the door was running on its backup battery that would be an issue! You might give High Tech Pet a call (805-644-1797), they're very helpful. They're on Pacific time BTW.
Question:	If my dog takes too long coming through the door, will it chop her in half
Answer:	No Bill, it will not chop her in half. First of all, the door closes on gravity alone. Secondly, there is a built in safety that pulls the door up if it encounters any obstacle in its path, on the same principle of the safety used in garage doors. High Tech Pet designed this into our door early on to keep all of our pets safe.

Power Pet Door

Featured on HGTV and acclaimed by experts and customers, Power Pet is loved by pets and owners.The included ultrasonic pet collar lets your four-legged friends come and go safely.

Power Pet doors open and close on their own and feature a translucent door panel made of bulletproof resin. When your pet approaches, the air-tight panel quietly powers upward into the stylish housing. then closes into hermetically-sealed grooves for air-tight closure. Stray animals and intruders are kept out.

Maximum Dog Size

The PX-2 Large Power Pet door will accommodate dogs as large as 14" torso height and up to 10 3/8 shoulder width. Most dogs under 100 lbs. fit into this category but, be sure to measure your dog before ordering to make sure you have a door that is large enough.

The height at which you mount your door will depend on how tall your dog is. We recommend that you mount the door so that the top of the door panel is at least 2 inches higher than your dog's back. Detailed instructions are included with your Power Pet door

Cut-Out Dimensions

Power Pet door installs in any home door. Just make a cut-out about the same size as a normal dog door opening and screw the main door unit and bezel into your door. Typical installation takes less than one hour. Full, detailed instructions are provided for quick, easy installation. Note that for wall installations an optional wall tunnel is required.

Door Installation

The Power Pet Door installs in any door or wall. It is surface mounted thereby, requiring the same size cut-out as a conventional flap door.

Wall Installation

Order our optional wall tunnel to mount your door in walls up to 7" thick. The wall tunnel fills the space between the studs and gives you installation an attractive, professional appearance.

110-Volt AC Wall Outlet Comes Standard

POWER PET doors come standard with a UL approved AC adapter. Plug the adapter into a nearby wall outlet for continuous operation. With dual jacks, the cord can be connected to either the left or right side of the door.

AC With Optional Battery Backup

You may purchase an optional rechargeable battery for use along with your AC adapter. If your household electricity should ever fail, your POWER PET door will automatically switch over to battery operation. When power is restored, the AC adapter will automatically recharge your battery.

Full Battery Operation with Optional Charger Kit

You may also operate your POWER PET door with the battery only. This eliminates the need for the AC adapter or any electrical power connection. However, you will need to recharge the battery periodically (recharge interval varies depending upon use). In this case, we recommend that you purchase the optional charger kit with 2 backup batteries. With two batteries, you can use one in your POWER PET door and keep the other in the charger. When your door battery runs low, just swap.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be mounted on a wall instead of a door
Answer:	Not easily, the fake optic on top is actually the bb reservoir. So taking it off would leave a hole in your gun and decrease bb capacity.
Question:	My dog loves to go in the pool. Is the collar sensor waterproof
Answer:	Please don’t buy this gun. Please go to evike and get a lancer tactical. It’ll be a little more expensive but way more worth it.
Question:	can you activate door with cell phone
Answer:	Yes you can remove the suppresser, and there is a flash hider attachment to replace it with.
Question:	I have 2 dogs and a new, indoor cat. Dogs are up to 32 #'s. Can this door allow dogs to go out but not the cat? I'm assuming I'd need the large door
Answer:	100-150 with .20

User questions & answers

Question:	can u get more collars an how much
Answer:	Yes, go to our Amazon High Tech Pet Factory Direct store and order our MS-5 collar. It is $54.99 and carries a full one year warranty.
Question:	Do yo make a model of this for sliding glass doors
Answer:	Yes, there is a model for sliding glass doors. I have both (moved from a house with a sliding glass door to one without and cannot give up this door)!
Question:	Security, brake in proof
Answer:	Nothing is break-in proof, but with regard to being secure, it beats a flap by orders of magnitude. There are a couple of things to consider. If someone is looking for a small-, or a medium-sized door, someone managing to get in would have to be really small--think "toddler". Honestly, if someone wants in, they're probably not going to bother with this door. They'd just smash a window or kick in an actual door. I have used three of these in the past 15 years or so. The first one finally died after four min-pins wore it out, and the second one was still working when I sold my old house in August. Door #3 is now installed in the new location, and I wouldn't have it any other way. That said, I've only had min-pin, dachshund, and rat terrier sized dogs, using the Medium-sized door. The opening is roughly 8.5x11, like a sheet of normal paper. I can't say what a large-sized door opening might attract, but I'm not sure if I would risk what kind of large dog might live on the inside, if I were stupid enough to think about breaking into a house with one of these installed. Hope that helps
Question:	door not working
Answer:	1. Could be the charger is broken 2. Motor or gear not working. Do you hear any sounds? Does the door not open? Or does not close? Depends on what the issue is. Try the reset button.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the HomeAgain brand microchip work with this door
Answer:	They say that the pet door is compatible with all microchips commonly used for pets. Specifically 15 digit FDXB, 10 digit FDXA/Trovan and 9 digit Avid. They also include a collar tag compatible with the door. I've had one for 2 years now and it works great.
Question:	Does it close solidly aginst bad weather
Answer:	The door closes due to gravity, and with a secondary magnet assisted system.The door has two sets of latches; one for preventing going in, and the other for preventing coming in. Usually only one set of latches are activated. There's an optional custom mode for enabling all two sets of latches for preventing problems with raccoons.There's some minimal fuzz-type weather stripping along the perimeter of the door flap. Since the door needs to open and close from both directions, I speculate it is difficult to install more weather stripping without degrading the operation of the door flap.As for severe weather, the latches lock securely, with minimal drafting. Since this is Summer, I'll have to report back (within my review) how well the door performs during the Winter or subzero months.
Question:	Is this the large door, what are messurements
Answer:	This is the larger one meant for small dogs and large cats. Small dogs like a yorkie or a corgi. This is the measurements listed under the description on Amazon. The dimensions of the flap (the smallest area your pet will need to pass through) is 7\" (w) x 6.69\" (h). The size of the hole required to install the pet door is 8.15\" (w) x 9.21\" (h).
Question:	Does anyone have experience with raccoons prying open the door to come in
Answer:	We've had raccoons get in on two occasions.They can't pry the door open.We concluded they got in by "tailgating" - pushing their way in before the cat's tail is through the door.Clever little guys!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I have or get 2 collars? I have 2 dogs and they both need one
Answer:	Hi AJ,Yes, but you would need to order an additional Wall Entry Kit which for the large SmartDoor is part # MPA11-12020, you can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004AM5RY8/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1435613044&sr=8-1&keywords=MPA11-12020&condition=newThanks, EZDogFences
Question:	How long did it take to arrive
Answer:	Thank you for your question! The SmartKey™ that the door uses is fully waterproof and submersible.
Question:	Is there any way to lock the sliding door to the doggie door? Or can any human just enter from outside when this door is installed
Answer:	Yes! I found an easy way. Buy a Switchbot (on Amazon for about $30). And buy a Switchbot Hub Plus (on Amazon for about $60). The switchbot is basically a little robot box, whose sole function is to press a button. Position it over the Mode button on the Dog Door (the switchbot already has an adhesive sticker that works perfectly). On the switchbot app, change the push duration (amount of time the switchbot holds the Mode button before releasing) to 3 seconds. That’s how long it takes to cycle the dog door from one mode to the next (lock, unlock,automatic). You can now control the Switchbot (and your dog door) with your phone if you are within Bluetooth range of it. Now, set up the Switchbot Hub Plus. Now you can control the switchbot on your phone (on the Switchbot app) no matter where you are (because now it’s linked to WiFi instead of Bluetooth). There you go! Took me awhile to figure this out, but I was tired of paying someone to come to my house every day while I’m at work to let the dogs out. (I don’t like them sitting in the backyard barking all morning, waking my neighbors up). So I unlock the dog door from my phone at lunch time and my dogs then have access to the backyard until I get home. Although I could theoretically lock it again later if I watch them on my security camera to see that they are both inside. I don’t even need to use the Smart Collar things that come with the dog door.
Question:	Will the MS-4 collar work as an additional collar
Answer:	Yes you can. I have a ragdoll mix cat and she is not allowed to go out either. We have the PetSafe SmartDoor and it works great. It was pretty easy to train our dog to use it too.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where do you get extra collars
Answer:	If want it installed in a wall it is best to buy the Large Wall. It comes with the tunnel kit. Otherwise you would have to build a tunnel kit for it. We've done that before but it costs more time and money than it's worth. It's always best to get the Wall Unit if you want to install it through a wall. Thanks, Pet Stuff Warehouse 1-888-943-4364 Authorized PlexiDor Dealer/Installer since 1997
Question:	What are the dimensions of the door for installation
Answer:	It is a solid frame, on all 4 sides. This is our second one and the first one lasted almost 20 years. Love it.
Question:	The door opens to let the cat out but won't open to let the cat in
Answer:	Ours are wall mounted in our barn to provide indoor/outdoor kennel. However I would not recommend this product we rescue Great Pyrenees and after about 2 years you'll have to buy new door springs at $35 each we bought 12 of these very expensive doors and now need to spend $840 every 2 years to replace the door springs. Not to mention the horrible customer service.
Question:	Is there something I am missing? With the battery installed, the unit does not recognize the collar
Answer:	Yes. We have the large door. It has accommodated everything from a short, fat 5lb. cat to a 160lb Newfy. Further, based on the experience of at least a dozen different dogs, all of the four legged folks figure out the operation quickly. The door is well made and effective - the pets can open easily, and it keeps the weather out. We live in Iowa. 5 years since installation; the hinges, springs and sweeps are as good as new. I would recommend this product without hesitation. If you want, I can provide a picture of the installation, if it helps.I need to add, pay close attention to the base elevation. Fr your smaller dog, I would install the opening at no more than 3" above the floor elevation.

Answer:	2 days

So, either heating or cooling the back yard with an old fashioned pet door just won't do anymore. In some cases the energy waste is like opening and closing the door itself 4 or 5 times a day. The all-weather door's air pocket between 2 soft flaps, making it a great energy efficient insulator is the answer. The all weather series in small, medium, extra large and super large are designed to give an air pocket of up to 3-inch between the 2 flaps in a door installation.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a latch that prevents the sliding door from being lifted out from the outside
Answer:	This system comes with two wall push buttons (wireless), one for inside and one for outside.
Question:	What is the total frame height, not just the flap opening
Answer:	Good question. There is not a mechanism to prevent trailing animals following a pet in or out with a tag. You can limit how wide the door opens and how long it stays open to take as much precaution from this happening. Once the pet with the tag leaves the activation zone, the door will start to close.
Question:	can the blocker piece slide down on either side or just 1 side
Answer:	You can have up to 4 tags per rfid receiver. If you want to add additional tags you will need another receiver.
Question:	Can you lock the panel so it can not be removed from the outside
Answer:	The single sensor can detect the your dog's tags when they are inside or outside. You don't need an additional sensor.

Question:	what are demensions of the pet door. What is "Medium
Answer:	Sorry, no glue. We only refer to glue in the instruction steps. But we never wrote any word saying the package include glue. And thanks for your this actually good suggestion, but the glue is very hard to pass throgh international transportation. We are sorry to bother you to buy a glue, or strong adhesive stickers, stainless steel, cutting sawer, screen net etc., all these tools maybe used in the installation but you don't have at home by yourself. We hope get your understanding. Sorry for the damaged box, but no parts missing. If you dislike, please contact Amazon for returning and get the refund, we agree to refund you all the money.

Question:	Can you still lock your patio door? And does it come with a cover to close the doggie door if you want to prevent your pets from coming in/going out
Answer:	Dear buyer, the dog door is fit to install on screen door or sliding door. The installation needs to split the 2 half plastic pieces of the door, then align them to sliding door or screen door, and then snap the 2 half pieces together. You could browse the detailed installation steps and instructions on our landing page of this product, thanks. Best Regards, CEESC Customer Service Support Team July 2nd, 2018
Question:	how many inches is the bottom of the door to the flap. I have two pugs that must be able to easily get out of as well as a pit bull
Answer:	It does not come with the screen installed. The easiest way to install it is to have one person on each side of the screen you plan to put it on. Match up the sides & snap them together. Then cut the screen around the door with an X-Acto knife.
Question:	Can it be easily and quickly removed
Answer:	The inner door is made of the same cheap plastic as the outer frame.

User questions & answers

Question:	Have 3 dogs. One pit and boxer mix, other collie lab mix, and a german Shepherd. Will this allow them to go in and out with ease due to their size
Answer:	I have two sheepdogs, 120-150 pounds, the large is great size for them. Although I wouldn’t recommend this product. The first day it locked both my dogs and cats outside, my cats aren’t suppose to be able to use the door because they don’t have keys. It makes a really loud noise when locking, one of my dogs is scared of it. And now I’m scared to use it because it might lock everyone outside while I’m gone. I use it as a regular doggy door now, until I can replace my door. It also got delivered broken on the bottom, I have very disappointed and amazon has been no help at all on returning it, and said I couldn’t get my “full refund” back even after they delivered it broken. I’m very disappointed in this product, just my option though.

Answer:	I’m not sure about a stucco exterior wall but I have mine installed in an exterior wall
Question:	Can this be installed in a wall
Answer:	Yes that’s how I have mine installed.
Question:	is this the newest version
Answer:	I don't know if it is the absolute newest, but it is the one that corrected the earlier problems.
