Cat Flap Fitter Glastonbury

Cat Flap Fitter Glastonbury Somerset (BA6): Fitting a cat flap doesn't only save you the bother of having to open the door every time the cat decides to stroll in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and improves it's quality of life. When continuously kept inside, cats much like humans, will get irritated and grumpy. When permitted instant access to the world outside with a cat flap, your cat has a better chance of staying healthy and well. If you choose to go down the cat flap route, you will then have to determine what is the best type of cat flap.

A cat flap at its most basic is just that. A bit of flexible material hung over a hole in a door to allow a cat to pass through it, but keep out the elements. Most cat owners in Glastonbury would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their property, although this might be acceptable for a fence panel or outhouse door.

This basic design can be improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, but it's still a long way from being perfect as it allows other creatures or cats a way to enter your house.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. With these, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your home unless it is equipped with this special collar. The fact that any other moggy in the Glastonbury area that's got a similar collar can still get into your house, is the drawback with this kind of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system featuring a user programmed unique identifier.

The next step-up in feline entrance security is to use a cat flap which recognises your cat's micro-chip. The number of your cat's micro-chip is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you have several cats). When your cat comes into close vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and allow only your micro-chipped pets to exit/enter.

The ability to lock it in position is important no matter what cat flap you're buying. Currently, the majority of cat flaps on the market have a four way locking system for extra flexibility. Which means that it has the capability to permit only entry into your home, enable exit from your house only, be fully locked, or be put in 2-way exit and entry mode. This provides total control over the functioning of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night. Some of the top-end devices can be programmed to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, in keeping with your pet's and your needs.

If you've got a timber door in your property in Glastonbury, putting in a cat flap yourself should not be too difficult. Although, if it is going to be fitted in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you shouldn't even attempt it on your own. Such situations call for the expertise and skills of a professional cat flap fitter or odd job man, who will have all the knowledge and tools for this kind of installation.
