Most people think that a magnetic cat door works only on batteries or
electrical current, but most don't, which means that they are unaffected by
power failures or blackouts. This is one of its main advantages, because it
means that the cat won't be locked out of the house if the power failure occurs
when the owner is away at work or on vacation.
Understanding Magnetic Doors
This kind of door can sense a magnet that is installed on the collar of the cat,
which works as some sort of "key" that will open the door to the cat. When the
pet comes close to the door the magnetic pull releases the latch and the door
opens. The system thus allows the cat to come and go as it pleases while the
door is locked when the cat is away.
This feature is a big plus for pet owners who are not home during the day or who
are away on weekends because they will not have to worry if their pet can get in
or out of the house while they are away
Security
The magnetic cat door is safe and secure for pets to use because the door
automatically locks after the cat passes through the door and only opens when
activated by the magnetic collar around the cat’s neck. So, if your cat is
chased by animals or by mean spirited children, once it's inside the house, the
door will protect it from pursuers. Plus it will protect against theft because a
person will not be able to slip through the locked door either.
These doors normally come with the following settings which can be set to the
owners liking: In and Out, In only, Out only and Locked. Despite what some
people think, these doors are very easy to install.
A magnetic pet door is not only resistant to water and any type of weather, but
it's also tight enough that it won't let water get inside the house. While a
magnetic cat door is very convenient, it's not recommended for very young
kittens.
Price
Generally cost around $50. However, some models cost up to $100. Custom made
models are also available, but they cost more.
If you have a cat, installing a magnetic cat door is a very good idea. This way, there's no need to open the door or a window every time the cat goes in or out. Oh, and a magnetic pet door will ONLY open for your cat.
