Since this option will allow other creatures or cats to enter your property, it's not at all ideal, though it can be enhanced to some degree by keeping the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.

A step up from the magnetic strip version are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This requires your cat to have a collar that has either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased in it. No animal will be able to access or leave your house unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. Once again this is a pretty basic type of cat flap, as any other moggy in the area that's got a similar style of collar could possible access your property.

Whichever cat flap you buy, it should be capable of being locked in position. Currently, almost all cat flaps on the market have a 4-way locking system for extra flexibility. This means that the cat flap can enable exit from your property only, permit only entrance into your property, be fully locked, or be set for 2-way entry and exit. This gives complete control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night. In line with yours and your pet's requirements, there is even the possibility to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, with a few of the more advanced devices.

Putting in a cat flap yourself can be fairly straightforward if you've got a solid timber door on your Exeter house, and reasonable do-it-yourself skills. However, if it is going to be fitted into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt it yourself. These kinds of fittings call for a professional installation from a reliable cat flap installer or handyman with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN EXETER

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your cat flap, stop them at once and request that they leave. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Making a hole in your double glazing destroys not simply the security and strength of the panel, but it takes away the insulation properties as well. Your double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should not be done under any circumstances.

An experienced cat flap fitter will take measurements of your current double glazed pane and have a local Exeter glazing company knock up a new purpose made pane. To ensure that the cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new double glazed pane will be provided with a hole pre-cut as a part of its construction. You might have a 1 or 2 week waiting period for this to be made, but if it's necessary to have a cat flap installed into an existing patio or double glazed door, this is really the only way to do it. Once you've acquired your new pane of glass, the old one can be removed and the new one installed. It will now be possible to install and set up the cat flap.

You'll need to verify what the interior structure of you door actually is, since for added security some uPVC door panels are made with a steel lining. The easiest type of installation is in doors with a single panel, consequently if you have a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be cheaper and easier in the long run to replace the slatted panel with a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either safety or aesthetic reasons, you do not wish to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could choose to install your cat flap in an external wall of your home in Exeter.

Both ends of the hole are then installed with an appropriate cat flap so that your feline friend can get in and out of the house whenever it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Exeter - If your wall, window or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working effectively, or is damaged, it's perfectly possible to mount a replacement over the current hole.

If the new cat flap is going to be fitted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must ensure that the glass has been made and installed in the right way.
