Locking modes
4-way manual lock
The manual lock has 4 positions which control the opening of the flap in either direction,
allowing you to control the entry and exit of your cats. The flap must be closed and hanging
vertically before changing the rotary lock position.
When using the Microchip Cat Flap Connect system, you can switch between locking modes
easily by using the Sure Petcare mobile/web app as long as the the manual rotary lock is
in Position 1. If the manual rotary lock is in a different position, this will override any
locking modes present in your app.
Position 1 –
Standard mode
Authorised cats with
outdoor access are
allowed to enter & exit
the house. Indoor only
cats are kept inside.
Curfew mode only via the Sure Petcare app
When using the Microchip Cat Flap Connect with the Sure Petcare app you can
activate an additional curfew mode. This mode allows you to set a lock and unlock
time for your Cat Flap, so that your cats (with outdoor access) can go outside
only for a set period of the day. At the lock time, the Cat Flap will be set to
Curfew Time
the 'Keep inside' locking mode, so your cat will still be able to enter the house,
but won't be able to leave again.
Curfew mode does not apply for indoor only cats.
Once you've set a curfew time, your Microchip Cat Flap Connect will lock and
unlock at these times everyday until you change or disable it.
However, please be aware that the Sure Petcare app and the manual rotary lock
on the Cat Flap can't communicate with each other. Physically changing the
rotary lock position will override any curfew times present in your app.
