Just make sure it locks both ways. Otherwise this might happen:

The idea of a pet door always made me wonder how many non-domesticated creatures got into people's houses that way. I can imagine that more than one squirrel has found its way into a house that way, since squirrels are pretty clever (they live on average 25 years, and I'm convinced they learn things and retain what they learn as they go along!), and it doesn't take too much to get through those doors. Once inside a house, they can also do many thousands of dollars of damage trying to get out. The chip is a good idea!

Isn't this a copy of the Pet Porte microchip cat flap? See http://www.microchipcatflaps.co.uk/
