Your pet controls Plexidor’s Electronic Pet Door, via an RFID chip that clips to any collar.
Who let the dogs out? That’s one question you’ll never have to think about with Plexidor.
The company’s new Plexidor Electronic doggie door is designed to let your animal come and go and he/she pleases, while keeping other critters (and burglars) outside where they belong.
The unit operates the same as a garage door. However, instead of hitting a button, your dog has a “wearable pass code,” which is a waterproof RFID chip that you clip onto its collar. As the dog approaches the door, the panel slides up and down. No batteries are needed.
“Having a technological tool like this is great for the health and comfort of the pet too,” says Joe Ambrose, Plexidor’s president. “For the pet owner, it is very helpful in preventing pet messes in the house from the pet having to hold it too long.”
The Plexidor Electronic Door is made of the same material as football helmets, so you won’t have to worry about it blowing open during storms. On the flipside, it also includes a safety mechanism so you won’t have to worry about little fingers or paws getting pinched.
The Plexidor Electronic Pet Door is available now in bronze and white. Prices range from $129 to $800, depending on the size and model.

Nice! This is really great for the comfort of the pet and very helpful for the pet owner.
Two other things:
1) The customer service was really good. They even found an installer for me.
2) This thing is “green” friendly too as it saves $$$. The power bills are MUCH less with this than flap doors if you live in a windy area. - OK… saving money on power bills is eco friendly too, but I care more about how that saves me the other green. ;-)
This door is AWESOME. I had one of the first ones and everybody who sees it thinks it is the coolest thing ever. The RFID tag is really nice.
This door has only been on the market a couple of months so it definitely isn’t the one “BurtC” is worried about.

The one that Burt C is worried about is the door made by High Tech Pet (the Power Pet Door). We have one of these now and it is junk. The collars are crap (I have even tried the more expensive RX-10 multi-function collars). Cold temperatures also seem to affect how the Power Pet Door functions. It is wonderful when it works but is a lot more hassle than it is worth (especially for the price). I even bought mine online from Sams Club, which was a lot cheaper than the High Tech Pet web site. We have 3 dogs that use this door, and to date I have spent $893.69. I first purchased this Power Pet Door 6-24-08 and today’s date is 1-12-08. No matter what you do DO NOT BUY FROM HIGH TECH PET! I am currently researching to try to find a replacement that will hopefully work correctly.
