Multi Magnetic Cat Doors

Multi Magnetic Cat Doors

Your cat comes and goes; the neighbour’s cat stays out. Catwalk® multi-magnetic cat doors open only for a cat wearing the lightweight collar magnet — a selective-entry system with no batteries, no electronics, and nothing to reprogram. The magnet releases the flap as your cat approaches; to every other animal the door stays shut.

People searching for a “microchip cat door” are usually solving this exact problem — an uninvited cat strolling in. The magnetic approach solves it mechanically: nothing to charge, no scanner to misread a chip, no failure when the power’s out. Each door ships ready to go, with spare collar magnet pairs available for multi-cat homes or lost collars. Our guide to stopping other cats coming through a cat door covers what else is worth trying first.

The wood fitting model screws into timber, steel or PVC panels from 11 to 52 mm and is stocked locally in white, with a 155 × 170 mm flap (width × height). Some variants — the glass fitting model and the brown wood fitting — are special order in Australia: their pages explain how to arrange one by email. Standard cat doors without selective entry live in the main cat door range, and our cat door sizing guide covers how to check your cat fits.

Magnetic Cat Door Questions, Answered

How does the magnetic system actually work?
Your cat wears a small magnet on their collar. As they approach the door, the magnet releases the flap’s catch and they push through as normal. Without the magnet, the flap stays locked to incoming animals — simple, mechanical, and maintenance-free.
Magnetic vs microchip cat doors — which is better?
Both are selective entry. Microchip doors read an implanted chip but need batteries, and a flat battery or misread chip locks your cat out. The magnetic system has no electronics at all — nothing to charge, nothing to fail. The trade-off is the collar: your cat needs to wear the magnet.
What if my cat loses the collar?
Keep a spare — magnets come in pairs, and extra collar magnet pairs are inexpensive. Clip one on the collar, keep one in the drawer, and a lost collar is a two-minute fix rather than a locked-out cat.
Does the magnet bother the cat?
It’s designed to hang from the collar like an ordinary ID tag — light enough that cats forget it’s there. Any standard safety collar carries it happily.
Can two or more cats share one door?
Yes — every cat wearing a collar magnet can use the door. Multi-cat homes just need a magnet per cat, which is exactly what the spare pairs are for.
What can the wood fitting model be installed in?
Timber, steel and PVC panels from 11 to 52 mm thick — doors, walls and panels alike, with a 155 × 170 mm flap (width × height) that suits cats of all sizes. If your situation is glass, contact us about the special-order glass fitting model.
