So, you think it's a good idea, but which is perfect form of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most straightforward style of cat flap, is merely that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a flexible material is hung over the gap to give a bit of some protection from the elements. Obviously, this is extremely basic, and will rarely adequate for most Chipping Sodbury cat owners, who would no doubt favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house, although it might be okay for an outhouse door or fence panel.

Because this option allows other cats or animals to enter your home, it's not at all ideal, though it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. In this case, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. What this means is that any animal that doesn't have a special collar can't access or leave your property. The point that any other moggy in the Chipping Sodbury area who's got a similar collar could possible gain access to your home, is the downside with this type of cat flap.

Exit and entry are only possible for microchipped animals, and the flap is unlocked when you cat is in close proximity.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you must make sure that it's of a design that can be locked into position. For added flexibility, almost all cat flaps feature a 4-way locking system these days. Which means it has the capability to allow exit from your premises only, be fully locked, permit only entrance into your house, or be put in two-way entry and exit mode. This gives you solutions for all times of day and night, to control precisely how your cat flap operates. The facility to perform specific functions according to the time of day, and in keeping with your pet's and your requirements is also a possibility with some of the high end models of cat flap.

If you are pretty good at DIY, fitting your own cat flap shouldn't be all that difficult, as long as you've got a solid timber door on your Chipping Sodbury home. Under no circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. These sorts of fixtures call for a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN CHIPPING SODBURY

Double Glazing Installation - If your cat flap has to be fitted into a double glazed window or door panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop them immediately and give them their marching orders. A new cat flap cannot be installed into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazing will be ruined by cutting or drilling into it, and will detract from its security, strength and insulating properties. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be attempted under any circumstances whatsoever.

A reliable Chipping Sodbury cat flap fitter will meticulously take the measurements of your existing unit and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing company. This new glazed pane will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its construction where the cat flap can be installed. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it may take a week or two to manufacture. Once you have obtained your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new unit fitted. The fitting of the cat flap will then be concluded.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, solid wooden door panels are the simplest option in relation to cat flap installation on your home in Chipping Sodbury.

This will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you will wind up with a professionally fitted cat flap, and that the job has been carried out properly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be installed into uPVC doors in most cases. You will have to establish what the internal structure of you door actually is, because for additional security certain uPVC door panels are made with a galvanised steel lining. A one-piece door panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it might be less expensive to exchange this panel for a single panel model.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or security reasons, you do not want to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could always elect to install the cat flap on an external wall of your property. This type of installment is certainly better left to a specialist, because it requires far more equipment and skill to accomplish. Nearly all wall cat flap installations involve a basic straight tunnel style, however right angular access via a pillar is also a possibility. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted into a square hole cut out of your wall. Each end of the hole is then fitted with a cat flap so that your furry friend can get in and out of the house whenever it desires.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Chipping Sodbury - If you already have a cat flap installed on a wall, window or door, but it's damaged or not working properly, the existing hole can, with luck, be re-used for the installation of a new one. A decent cat flap installer in Chipping Sodbury will efficiently remove your unwanted cat flap, and mount a new one in its place without harming the surrounding window, door or wall.

If the new cat flap is going to be installed in a pre cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must check that the glass has been made, cut and installed correctly. If you discover this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass pane will need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues.
