Featuring a programmable timer, a clear LCD display for monitoring pet activity, and a robust 4-way electronic lock, it ensures your pets’ safety and your home’s security. Designed for easy installation in doors or glass up to 100mm thick, its weatherproof magnetic flap maximizes energy efficiency while providing stress-free access for your feline friends. ## Description Product Description The Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer Control is the perfect solution for selective entry control, operated by your cat’s implanted identification microchip. This eliminates the problems caused by the unwelcome intrusion of neighbouring cats, providing a safe and secure environment for your cat. Once your cat’s microchip has been registered, the Timer Control function can be programmed to select access times for all your cats through the cat flap, e.g. to keep cats in at night. Up to 9 cats can be registered. For cats without an implanted microchip, a unique Cat Mate I.D. Disc can be attached to your cat’s collar (available separately). The easy to view LCD panel displays helpful location indicators for up to 3 selected cats, showing whether they have entered or exited through the cat flap and the time since each cat last used the flap. Other display features include the electronic 4-Way lock status (Unlocked, In Only, Out Only, Locked) and low battery indicator. The stylish design maximises entrance opening space - providing easy, stress-free access for your cat. The large 144mm (W) x 150mm (H) opening is fitted with a transparent flap which is preferred by most cats and is made from super tough polymer. The brush sealed flap with magnetic closure ensures a draft and weatherproof seal. The Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer Control is self lining to 100mm thick - ideal for fitting to all doors and walls, including metal and single/multiple glazed panels. Product dimensions: 248mm (W) x 265mm (H) x 135mm (D). Cut out size: 178mm (W) x 205mm (H). IMPORTANT: For glass installation you will need a glazier to cut a 232mm diameter hole in the panel.

I'm not interested in RIF control; I just need a cat door that operates on a timer.** A: Kay, I don't think the door will lock in training mode. But I, like you, just wanted a timed cat-door. For me it was to let the cats go out once the sun was up and lock them in once it got dark. I do not have any issues with animals (raccoons, opossum, chupacabra) trying to get in and because I have three cats and the chips were kinda big I simply taped a chip to the inside of the kitty door. This way when it is set to open there is always a chip close enough to activate it and the cat just has to push on it. Any cat can get in or out during the day and when it is set to close no one can leave (actually I only "close" it so the cats can't get out after dark, but after dark they can get in). I hope this is helpful for you.Red **Q: Is the latching mechanism loud? how long does it take to read the chip and unlatch? rfid collor model is loud and slow.** A: Noise is moderate. Latching mechanism timing depends primarily on the microchip placement in the animal. If the chip is close to the neck area, it works well. If the chip is more towards the shoulders, the animal has to nose at the door for a period for the latch to trigger correctly. Hope this helps... **Q: If I set the timer to lock at night and not let the cats out, if the cats are already outside after that time, are they locked out from coming in?** A: No, They still can come inside but cannot go back out again until the time you set them to go out. **Q: i though i read you need the tags ? so no tags or microchip required for this door " Ani Mate Elite "** A: Yes it comes with 2 tags and you can buy more compatible tags to cat mate for 15 bucks for 2. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fonctionne parfaitement *by on Reviewed in Belgium 18 May 2026* Très heureux de l'achat.A capté mon chat du premier coups.Il fonctionne à merveille depuis une semaine et je vois déjà à l'autonomie en croquettes que nous avons moins de visiteurs. Mon chats est apaisé et moi aussi. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Werkt prima en is reuze handig. *by on Reviewed in the Netherlands 31 January 2024* Dit is inmiddels mijn 2e luik van dit merk, de 1e is er na 5 jaar mee gestopt. De binnenzijde vh luik (met de timer) is een keer nat geregend terwijl de deur open stond. Sindsdien bleef de tijd niet op zijn tijd staan en daardoor liep ook de timer niet goed en waren de katten nog binnen terwijl ze naar buiten hadden moeten kunnen of s'nachts op pad terwijl ze binnen hoorde te zijn. De vorige had 3 jaar garantie en deze 2, dus de nieuwe eigenaar heeft er een jaar afgehaald. (jammer)Het luik werkt prima zoals gezegd, het instellen lijkt moeilijker dan het is. Ja de knopjes moet je stevig indrukken, maar daar raak je gewend aan.De katten met een geinplanteerde chip 'inscannen' kun je het beste doen voordat je het luik plaatst. Onze katten zijn hem gewend maar blijven het soms wat spannend vinden om in of uit te gaan door het luik, maar voor een snoepje vliegen ze er doorheen.De prijs is wel hoog voor deze luik, maar hij heeft ons bewezen dat hij het waard is.Als wij er een paar dagen niet zijn kunnen de katten gewoon naar binnen en buiten op de tijden die wij ingesteld hebben. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly, if you follow instructions *by on Reviewed in the United States 9 August 2014* I am thrilled by this. I loved my last Cat Mate door that worked with magnets, but my cats hated wearing the collar (I live in a place that they collected nails, debris, and the occasional UXO on the magnet), and so I had to leave it unlocked by taping down the latch. That worked for a year until another neighborhood finally cat learned to get in (but not out), wreaking havoc.So I upgraded to the one that reacts to the microchips in their necks, to avoid fighting with them about collars. It works perfectly. I had read the mixed reviews about this model and was nervous, but now am guessing it just REALLY needs to be installed exactly as instructed. I put a plank along their entry to ensure the exact 15cm specified for the height and the cats haven't given it a second thought, they don't even pause on the way in. They were initially alarmed by the little burr-click that it makes as they enter and exit, but they got used to that in two hours. (Some reviews made me fear it makes the sound throughout the night with self-checks but it does not--there is only a slight noise when they come in and out.) They have to push a little harder to open this one than the old one, but again, they learned fast, and it's good exercise.The door is slightly irritating to program for this day and age but it isn't at all hard, you just have to follow the very clear instructions to the letter. (Is there an app for that?)The best part is that the door so far recognizes their microchips instantly on approach and unlocks the door. They didn't need any training at all since they were familiar with the theory of pushing the old door.I love checking the time since they used it to know if they've been around in my absence, though too scared (of them) to try to use the available time controls to limit their movement. Also great improvement to enable a "training mode" for cats who don't take to it instantly, rather than having to tape down the latch, which was always a possible point of failure while I was on vacation.So, I recommend the company think about a much more intuitive, user friendly interface for future upgrades but am absolutely satisfied with ease of installation and performance. Thanks much!By the way, be careful when ordering to ensure you have the model that works with microchips, since the titles are very similar. Amazon was great about letting me return the wrong one. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap W/ Timer Control - Cat Mate Elite 2" Wall Liner for Cat Mate Elite Doors - White - Cat Mate Collar Worn Pet ID Disc for use with all Cat Mate, Dog Mate, and Closer Pets Products --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/289852229-elite-microchip-cat-flap-with-digital-timer-and-lcd-display](https://www.desertcart.at/products/289852229-elite-microchip-cat-flap-with-digital-timer-and-lcd-display) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
