PetSafe Big Cat Door for Cats Up to 11.3 kg, 4-Way Lock and Soft-Close Flap

PetSafe Big Cat Door gives cats and small dogs up to 25 lb (11.3 kg) a way to move between rooms or outdoors, with a four-setting lock for controlled access.

• Four lock settings — choose locked, unlocked, in-only, or out-only access.
• GentleClose flap — gives pets time to clear the opening before it closes quietly and slowly.
• Fits doors 1 to 2 in (2.5 to 5.1 cm) thick — suitable for many standard interior and exterior doors.
• Weather strips and flap magnets — help reduce cold airflow and bring the flap back into place.
• Step-by-step installation instructions included — supports a do-it-yourself setup.

When a cat wants to reach a litter box in another room or head out to the backyard, opening a door for every trip can interrupt the household routine. PetSafe Big Cat Door provides a built-in passage for eligible pets, while its lock lets you control whether that passage is available and in which direction.

How does the four-way lock control access?

The Push-&-Turn lock switches between locked, unlocked, in-only, and out-only settings. Changing modes requires pushing and turning the control, and the mechanism is designed to keep its selected setting when a determined pet paws at it. The Big Cat Door is the only pet door with both GentleClose flap technology and a Push-&-Turn four-way locking mechanism.

• Locked: blocks passage through the door.
• Unlocked: allows access in either direction.
• In-only or out-only: limits passage to the chosen direction.

Will the Big Cat Door fit my door and pet?

It fits doors from 1 to 2 inches thick and works for most cats and small dogs weighing up to 25 lb (11.3 kg). It is intended for standard doors inside the home as well as doors leading outdoors, making it useful for access between rooms or to a backyard. Before choosing a location, compare your door’s thickness with the product’s specified range and consider whether your pet is within its weight limit.

• Use it for indoor access, such as a route to a litter box in another room.
• It can also provide a pet passage between the home and the outdoors.
• The stated weight limit is for most pets, not every pet regardless of size.

How does the flap close and help limit drafts?

GentleClose lets a pet pass through before the flap lowers softly and quietly. Its slower closing action gives a cat and its tail time to clear the flap, rather than closing immediately behind the pet. Weather strips help reduce cold air flowing into the house, while magnets on the flap help it swing shut each time.

• The flap is designed to close after the pet has passed through.
• Weather strips help limit incoming cold airflow.
• Magnets help return the flap to its closed position.

What is included, and how is it installed?

Step-by-step instructions are included to guide a do-it-yourself installation. PetSafe positions the installation as a weekend project, and the door is made for use in standard interior or exterior doors within the stated thickness range. PetSafe’s U.S.-based pet product experts are available by phone, email, or chat for product questions.

• Installation instructions are included.
• The door is intended for DIY installation.

PetSafe Big Cat Door suits households that want a cat or small dog to move between rooms or access the outdoors without waiting for someone to open a door. It is especially useful when you want to manage passage with directional lock settings and reduce cold airflow around the flap. Its fit is defined by the door thickness range and the pet weight limit.
