Hey I thought it was helpful. I would rather install it on the floor so it's a little less of an eyesore. I'm glad he showed this so I have a new install option. Besides I wouldn't think installing on the floor would be all that much different from the ceiling. So if you really find his video unhelpful, just flip your phone upside down when you watch it then it'll be like it's on the ceiling for you :)

I'm really really happy to know that this solution has that option. I think it's great that he showcased the rare scenario rather than the common one.

@jtr82369 Жыл бұрын

This is really cool, you should partner with someone to add HomeKit/Alexa/Google for automations and controls. With those controls, a home owner can have the door unlock and open at certain times of the day and create parameters for dogs. Though I am sure Home Bridge would solve this issue but native use is always the best, especially HomeKit since it's the most secure when natively controlled. Shane Whatley has a great channel for automations, maybe work with him to figure out using the Home Bridge and he can make a video for it, help promote this product.

Your video was the only place I could find the answer to my question - what if I have a backward door, with the slider on the outside (Pella door) Mount the Autoslide on the outside! Thank you!

@PetDoorStore 2 жыл бұрын

Since the video was made Autoslide has stated that they don't recommend installing on the outside. I have had a couple customers who built an enclosure around it to protect it from the elements, and would suggest you do the same if you go ahead and get one.

Oh my god I freggin LOVE YOU. If I bought the Elite motor even though my door is light enough for the standard motor, do you think it would extend its lifespan because its not putting as much stress on it or should I just buy three or four standard replacement motors? I'm asking because I want to be prepared in case something happens in the (hopefully unlikely) event that your company isn't around when it breaks.

@PetDoorStore 2 жыл бұрын

We don't manufacture this, it's made by Autoslide. I talked to the owner of the company when I first started selling these and asked what the lifespan of the motor should be. He estimated the average customer would get 10 years out of it. Warranty is for 2. I've had mine installed for I think 7 years. Still going. I don't know that buying the Elite will extend the life, but I think we could probably sell you a spare standard motor for less than the cost of the Elite upgrade. Call that one in, I will have to get pricing for you.

My dog likes to go outside and lay right outside the door (sometimes even sleeps curled up against the door). He is not attempting to come in, he’s just a Newfie who wants to be in the cold but still wants to be close to his people. If we got the RFID sensors, would the door just stay open all the time because it would continually sense him resting outside not wanting to come in?

@PetDoorStore 2 жыл бұрын

You could mount the sensor higher on the wall so that it doesn't trip when he lays down, I've had customers do that and it works. An even better solution would be to mount the sensor a few feet away from the door and train him to go to that spot to open the door.

So, the regular unit without the lock, can you just open the door by pulling hard?

@PetDoorStore 4 жыл бұрын

If the unit is on it will open the door for you, just like hitting the wall button. If it is off you can open and close the door manually, the motor doesn't add a lot of drag.

will the door still open normally by hand also?

@PetDoorStore 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. If the unit is on and you pull the handle it will open all the way. If it is off or you lose power or something like that, you can still open and close the door by hand, and the motor doesn't add a lot of resistance. The one issue that you might run into is with the iLock option. It defaults to the locked position, so if you lose power it will be locked.

How about info on different door widths. Interior doors come in different widths and no info on website or here.

@PetDoorStore 9 ай бұрын

Part of the installation is cutting the long gear to the correct length. Comes with 40" of gear. If your door is wider than that, can buy in 20" sections to make it even longer.

This looks really cool but I had a couple questions. I’m getting ready to build and install a custom glass door which will be used for a piano room inside of a house. Is there a setting to leave it open for long periods of time or is it always going to be trying to close with the timers? Also the customer was asking in the event of a power failure, is it OK to manually slide it open or is this going to be bad on the motor? Thanks for the video and looking forward to getting one of these!

@PetDoorStore 3 жыл бұрын

There is a mode you can put it in, like pet mode, where it will open when you push the button and stay open until you push the button again. Moving the door without the motor doesn't damage anything, and the motor doesn't add a lot of resistance either, so if the power goes out you can still pull it open and shut, with no problems at all.
