Petsafe Electronic SmartDoor Large

The PetSafe Electronic SmartDoor – Large is an electronic pet door designed to give your pets controlled, independent access between your home and outdoors. Unlike a conventional pet door, it uses an electronic SmartKey attached to your pet’s collar to identify authorised animals.

When an authorised pet approaches, the SmartDoor unlocks automatically, while the locking system helps prevent unwanted animals from entering your home.

How It Works

The SmartDoor works together with a PetSafe Electronic SmartKey.

The SmartKey is attached to your pet’s collar. When the pet approaches the SmartDoor, the system detects the authorised key and unlocks the flap.

Once the pet has passed through and moved away from the door, the system returns to its secured state. Because access is controlled electronically, the SmartDoor can distinguish between pets carrying an authorised SmartKey and animals without one.

SmartKey Identification

Each authorised pet can have its own SmartKey. This is particularly useful for households with several pets.

For example, you can provide SmartKeys to pets that are allowed to go outdoors while leaving other pets without a key if you want them to remain indoors.

The SmartKey is required for electronic pet identification and is generally sold separately unless included in a particular package or regional version.

Access Control

The Electronic SmartDoor provides greater control than a traditional flap.

Depending on the model and settings, you can use the door’s controls to manage access and determine when pets are allowed to use the door. This can be useful at night, during severe weather or whenever outdoor access needs to be restricted.

Suitable Pets

The Large SmartDoor is designed for larger cats and dogs.

Before installation, measure your pet’s:

• Chest/shoulder width

• Body height

• Overall size

Your pet should be able to pass through the opening comfortably without squeezing.

Installation

The SmartDoor can be installed into a suitable door or wall, depending on the installation configuration.

Installation requirements vary according to the construction of the door or wall. For glass or specialised installations, a suitable PetSafe installation adaptor or professional installer may be required.

The installation location should provide enough clearance for the pet to approach and pass through the flap comfortably.

Dimensions

Approximate overall product dimensions:

• Width: 41.2 cm

• Height: 35.2 cm

• Flap/opening: approximately 26.3 × 26.7 cm

Exact dimensions can vary according to the specific regional SmartDoor model/version, so the model number should be checked before installation.

Power & Battery

The SmartDoor is an electronic, battery-powered system. The SmartDoor and SmartKey use batteries to operate their electronic identification and locking functions.

Battery condition should be checked regularly to ensure reliable operation.
