Product Details
This set of two large, high quality magnetic collar keys is designed for Dog Mate collar activated dog doors and pet products, such as the Dog Mate 259 model and the Cat Mate 254, 256, 363 model magnetic cat doors. Two keys are included just in case you need an extra one in the future. The waterproof magnet fits easily onto your dog's pet collar. The dog door opens with collar activation only. As your pet approaches the door, the magnetic pet door senses the key, triggering the door to unlock and open. From there your pet will be able to push through the door.
Note: The manufacturer recently consolidated the 256 and 259 products into one model: the Cat Mate 363. The 256 Large Cat Door and 259 Small Dog Door are identical models, so the collar keys work for all of the models regardless.

Step 2: Thread the collar band through the loops on the back of the small dog magnetic key. On the back of the collar key, it will indicate which direction is front. Face the magnetic collar key towards your pet’s nose when the collar is attached.
Step 3: Re-attach the collar to your pet’s neck.
Step 4: Adjust the collar so that it sits under your pet’s chin, as opposed to the back of their neck.
FAQ
|
Can I purchase a replacement magnet for collars for my Dog Mate electromagnetic dog door? Yes, this one fits models 254, 256, 259, and 363. |
|
Is this a new collar for magnetic therapy? While magnetic dog collars are said to use magnetic fields to provide pain relief and help treat hip dysplasia, joint pain (especially in the back legs), and severe arthritis, this magnetic collar is not made to treat pain on older dogs. It is a collar key for magnetic dog doors only. |
|
Will this fit my large dog collar? Yes, this collar tag is made to slip onto your dog's collar. However, Pet Mate doors are not made for larger dogs like German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. Having a properly fitting dog door is important for the comfort and well-being of your dog, especially as they grow from puppy to old dog. If you have a medium-sized dog, such as a Springer Spaniel or Jack Russell, make sure to measure them carefully. If you have a larger dog, such as a collie or labrador, you might want to check out High Tech Power pet doors, which has consistently earned high customer ratings from owners of large dogs. |

Functionally, the collar key works fine and opens the door, but it is giant on my little dog. I wish there was a smaller version of this...
Original replacement so it worked well with my Dog Mate door.
It works, but I could see smaller pets having trouble with the bulk.
My idea of collar tags are circular attachments like a keychain but this just looks so different. There is enough room to write our info on it which is nice. So far we've had it work successfully will update if needed
My dogs are wearing the key to the door and it does not open. The magnets are not strong enough to open the door ed note - Sounds like a defective solenoid & corresponding warranty claim. Magnet strength isn't really an issue here.
