PetSafe Magnetic Collar Key for Cats Black 1 Size Lightweight Key

Description

Product Overview

The PetSafe Magnetic Collar Key is engineered from durable plastic and a powerful neodymium magnet, delivering a reliable connection between your cat’s collar and compatible magnetic cat flaps. Designed specifically for small‑breed cats, the key measures 0.79 x 3.74 x 4.53 inches and weighs just 0.704 ounces, making it virtually invisible on the animal and comfortable for extended wear. The black finish blends seamlessly with most collar colors, while the single‑size design (size 1) ensures a snug fit for kittens and adult cats alike. Each unit includes a single magnetic key, packaged in a compact 20.32‑milliliter container that is easy to store and ship. The product is manufactured by PetSafe, a trusted name in pet safety solutions, and carries the model number 980ML. With a 4.3‑star rating from over 3,000 customer reviews, this magnetic key has proven its effectiveness in real‑world households. It requires no batteries, no additional tools, and can be attached directly to the collar loop, providing an instant, hands‑free solution for managing indoor/outdoor access.

Usage

Installation is as simple as sliding the magnetic key onto the existing loop of your cat’s collar; no drilling, no adhesives, and no technical expertise are required. Once attached, the key automatically engages with any PetSafe 400 Series or 900 Series 4‑Way Locking Magnetic Cat Flap, unlocking the door only for the cat wearing the magnet. This selective entry system prevents stray animals and unwanted wildlife from entering your home while granting your cat unrestricted freedom to explore the outdoors. The key performs reliably in a variety of environments, from temperate garden patios to humid indoor hallways, because the plastic housing resists moisture and the magnet maintains its strength over time. Ideal for households with multiple cats, each pet can be equipped with its own magnetic key, allowing the flap to recognize each individual animal. The lightweight nature of the key ensures that it does not add noticeable weight to the collar, preserving your cat’s comfort during play, grooming, or sleep.

FAQ

Can the magnetic key be used with non‑PetSafe cat flaps?

The key is calibrated to the magnetic field specifications of PetSafe 400 and 900 series flaps. While it may physically attach to other magnetic flaps, reliable operation is only guaranteed with PetSafe models.

Will the magnet affect my cat’s health?

The magnet is encased in a sealed plastic housing, preventing direct contact with the animal’s skin. It complies with all safety standards and poses no risk to your cat’s health.

How do I replace a lost or damaged magnetic key?

PetSafe offers replacement keys that match the original specifications. Simply order the replacement using the model number 980ML, and attach the new key to the collar in the same manner as the original.

Is the magnetic key suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The plastic housing is moisture‑resistant, and the magnet retains its strength in a wide range of temperatures, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Can I use multiple keys on one collar?

While the design allows for a single key per collar, you can attach additional keys if you have multiple compatible flaps, though this is generally unnecessary and may add extra weight.
