How do automatic dog doors work?

Automatic dog doors generally work via a magnet system. The door is equipped with a sensor that detects when your dog is nearby. When the sensor is triggered, the door opens automatically.

Why should you get an automatic dog door?

There are many benefits to installing an automatic dog door in your home. Here are just a few of the reasons why you should consider getting one for your furry friend:

1. They can get the freedom to come ad go as they want, so there’s no more waiting at the door for you to let them in or out!

2. It can help to potty train your pup, as they will quickly learn that they can relieve themselves whenever they need to without having to wait for you.

3. It can provide some much-needed exercise for your dog if they tend to be indoor-only – getting outside for some fresh air and exploring is good for their mental and physical health.

4. It can help keep your home clean, as your dog won’t track in dirt and mud from outside (and they’ll be less likely to have accidents inside if they can go out when they need to).

5. Automatic doors can be programmed to only open during certain times of the day, so you don’t have to worry about unwanted visitors coming into your home (or your dog getting out when you don’t want them to).

The different types of automatic dog doors

There are three main types of automatic dog doors: electronic, pneumatic, and magnetic.

Electronic dog doors use a sensor to open the door when your dog is near. This type of door is great for security since it can be programmed to only open for your dog’s specific RFID tag or microchip.

Pneumatic dog doors use air pressure to open and close the door. These doors are often less expensive than electronic doors but they can be difficult to install if you don’t have experience with home repairs.

Magnetic dog doors use a magnet to keep the door closed until your dog wears a special collar that unlocks the door. These doors are simple to install but they may not be as secure as other types of automatic doors.

How to install an automatic dog door

Assuming you have already purchased your automatic dog door, installation is relatively easy. The first step is to find a suitable location for the door. It is important to make sure that the door is not too high or too low for your dog, as this could cause problems. Once you have found a suitable location, mark out the area where the door will be installed.

Next, using a drill, make pilot holes in the marked area. Be careful not to drill too deeply. Once the pilot holes are complete, insert the screws that come with the door and tighten them securely.

The next step is to install the flap. Again, it is important to make sure that the flap is not too high or too low for your dog. Once you have found a suitable position, mark out the area where the flap will be installed. Then, using a drill, make pilot holes in the marked area. Be careful not to drill too deeply.

Finally, insert the screws that come with the flap and tighten them securely. Your automatic dog door is now installed and ready for use!
