Overview

What it is and where it fits

The SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Flap checks your cat's microchip on the way in and on the way out. It is the right flap for a Dubai villa or townhouse with more than one cat, where one is allowed in the garden and another must stay inside. You register each cat as outdoor or indoor-only. Outdoor cats come and go, indoor-only cats cannot leave, and street cats cannot get in. If an indoor cat slips out through an open door, the flap still lets it back in. That exit scan is the whole difference from the SureFlap Microchip Cat Door we also list. Both have the same 142 x 120 mm opening and run on AA batteries, but the standard Cat Door only scans on entry, so any cat can leave. The Pet Door Connect is bigger and uses an app and Hub, which this flap does not. There is no Wi-Fi, no app and no curfew timer. A dial gives four modes: in and out, out only, in only, or fully locked. It stores up to 32 pets and reads implanted microchips or a SureFlap RFID collar tag, sold separately. It takes four AA alkaline batteries. It fits a door once a 165 x 171 mm hole is cut, and glass with a round hole of about 212 mm, which usually means a glazier. Sure Petcare says never fit it in a fire door. Skip it if all your cats go out, since the cheaper Cat Door does the job.

  • Keeps indoor-only cats in while your outdoor cat comes and goes
  • Stops street cats getting in through the flap
  • Lets an escaped indoor cat back home through the flap
  • Works on batteries with no app, no Hub and no Wi-Fi

What to check before you order

The DualScan suits villas and townhouses where cats reach a walled garden. A wooden or uPVC kitchen or back door is the simplest fit, and the screws in the box suit doors up to about 55 mm thick. Villa block walls are much deeper than the 70 mm tunnel, so a wall install needs tunnel extenders (50 mm each) and the Cat Flap Mounting Adaptor to fix it firmly. Glass is common in Dubai villas, but toughened and double-glazed panes cannot be cut after they are made. A glazier makes a new pane with a round hole of about 212 mm, then we fit the flap. Sure Petcare says never fit it in a fire door, which rules out most apartment entrance doors in towers, and we do not fit flaps onto high-rise balconies. The flap runs on batteries, so DEWA cuts do not matter, but heat and two scans per trip drain AA cells faster. Tenants need landlord approval for any cut.

Answers

Questions about the SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Flap

What is the SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Flap?
Chevron down icon
It is a battery-powered cat flap that reads your cat's microchip both when it comes in and when it goes out. Because it checks exits too, you can let one cat roam while keeping another indoors. It also stops unknown cats from coming in. It has no app or Wi-Fi.

How much is the SureFlap DualScan in Dubai?
Chevron down icon
It was AED 863 on Amazon.ae in September 2026 for the white flap, shipped from Amazon US through the Global Store with import charges included and only one left. The brown version was unavailable. We did not find it on noon at the time.

How is the DualScan different from the SureFlap Microchip Cat Door?
Chevron down icon
The DualScan scans cats on the way out as well as in, so you can set some cats as indoor-only. The standard Microchip Cat Door only scans on entry, so any cat inside can leave. Both have the same 142 x 120 mm opening. The Cat Door is cheaper if all your cats go out.

How is it different from the SureFlap Pet Door Connect?
Chevron down icon
The Pet Door Connect has a larger opening for big cats and small dogs, and it links to the Sure Petcare Hub and app for remote locking and entry logs. The DualScan is a cat-size flap with no app, but it can keep chosen cats indoors on its own. They solve different problems.

How do indoor-only and outdoor cats work on this flap?
Chevron down icon
When you add each cat, you press the add button once for a cat with outdoor access or twice for an indoor-only cat. Outdoor cats can go in and out. Indoor-only cats can come in but the flap stays locked when they try to leave. The light flashes green or red to confirm.
Contact us

What happens if my indoor cat escapes through a window?
Chevron down icon
The flap lets it back in. DualScan only blocks indoor-only cats from leaving, not from returning, so a cat that slips out through an open door or window can still get home through the flap.
Contact us
Contact us
Will it keep Dubai street cats out?
Chevron down icon
Yes, in normal use. The flap stays locked both ways and only opens when it reads a registered chip or tag, so strays and neighbourhood cats cannot push in. Sure Petcare is honest that no flap can guarantee every other animal is kept out in all circumstances, so keep an eye on it after fitting.

Contact us
Does it have a curfew timer?
Chevron down icon
No. The DualScan has a manual dial with four modes but no automatic timer. If you want the door to lock and unlock at set times each day, look at the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door, which has a built-in curfew, or the Connect range with the app.
Contact us
Contact us
What locking modes does it have?
Chevron down icon
Four, set with the dial: enter and exit, exit only, enter only, and fully locked. Enter only is useful before a vet visit, because cats can come home but cannot go back out. Fully locked shuts the flap in both directions.
Contact us
Contact us
Does my cat need a microchip?
Chevron down icon
No, but it is better. The flap reads implanted microchips and also works with a SureFlap RFID collar tag, which is sold separately. If you use a tag, Sure Petcare says it must be on a safety collar with a breakaway buckle. Most cats in the UAE are already chipped.

Is my cat too big for the DualScan?
Chevron down icon
Measure across the shoulders and from the bottom of the chest to the top of the shoulders. The opening is 142 mm wide and 120 mm high. Most cats fit. Large breeds such as Maine Coons may not, and the bigger SureFlap Microchip Pet Door suits them better.
Contact us
Contact us
Will it fit my villa door?
Chevron down icon
Most likely, if it is wood or uPVC. We cut a 165 x 171 mm hole and fix the frame with the screws supplied, which suit doors up to about 55 mm thick. We set the height from the floor to your cat's tummy height so it walks straight through.
Contact us
Contact us
Can it be fitted in a wall?
Chevron down icon
Yes. The tunnel is 70 mm deep, so a Dubai block wall needs tunnel extenders, each adding 50 mm. Sure Petcare recommends the Cat Flap Mounting Adaptor for DualScan wall installs so it is screwed firmly in place rather than glued. We check for pipes and cables before cutting.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I fit it in a glass or sliding door?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Glass needs a round hole, ideally 212 mm across and no bigger than 260 mm. Toughened and double-glazed glass cannot be drilled after it is made, so a glazier makes a new pane with the hole. We then fit the flap into that pane.
Contact us
Contact us
Do I need a glazier to fit it in glass?
Chevron down icon
Yes, almost always in Dubai. Villa doors and windows use toughened or double-glazed glass, which shatters if cut. A glazier measures the panel and orders a new pane with the round hole already made. We can arrange that and fit the flap when the glass arrives.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I fit it in a metal door or a fire door?
Chevron down icon
Metal doors need a different method from wood, which Sure Petcare covers in its full manual, so we assess them first. Fire doors are a firm no. Sure Petcare says fitting the flap into a fire door makes the door unfit for purpose, which rules out most tower apartment entrance doors.
Contact us
Contact us
Can a tenant fit the DualScan cat flap?
Chevron down icon
Only with written landlord approval, because it means cutting a door, wall or glass. A new glass pane with a hole can be the easiest to reverse, since the original pane can go back at the end of the lease.
Contact us
Contact us
Do I need a hub, app or Wi-Fi?
Chevron down icon
No. The DualScan works entirely on its own and cannot connect to the Sure Petcare Hub or app. You add pets with a button and change modes with the dial. There is no subscription. The downside is no alerts or logs on your phone.

How long do the batteries last in Dubai?
Chevron down icon
Sure Petcare quotes up to 12 months on its website and up to 6 months on its Amazon listing, so plan for around six. Scanning in both directions uses more power, and heat shortens battery life. Use good alkaline AA cells, not rechargeables. A red light flashes every five seconds when they are low.
Contact us
Contact us
What happens in a DEWA power cut?
Chevron down icon
Nothing. The flap runs on four AA batteries, not mains power, so it keeps working. Change the batteries as soon as the red low-battery light starts flashing, so the flap keeps reading chips reliably.
Contact us
Contact us
How does it cope with heat, sand and dust?
Chevron down icon
It is a plastic, battery-powered flap and Sure Petcare does not publish a temperature rating. Shade on the outside helps both the plastic and the batteries. Wipe sand from the flap edges and tunnel regularly so it closes flush. Do not immerse it in water, a damp cloth is enough.
Contact us
Contact us
How long does installation take, and do you fit it?
Chevron down icon
Yes, we fit it across Dubai. A wooden or uPVC door takes about an hour. A wall install takes longer because of the cutting, extenders and adaptor. For glass, the glazier's pane comes first. We add each cat as indoor or outdoor and test the flap before we leave.

What warranty does it have in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
Sure Petcare gives a 3-year warranty with proof of purchase. The Amazon.ae offer ships from Amazon US through the Global Store, and Amazon warns overseas warranties may not apply in the UAE. Keep your order details and contact Sure Petcare support directly for faults.
Contact us
Contact us
Who should not buy the DualScan cat flap?
Chevron down icon
Skip it if all your cats are allowed out, because the cheaper Microchip Cat Door does the same job. It is also wrong for small dogs, fire doors, high-rise balconies, or anyone who wants app alerts, a curfew timer or remote locking.
