As this option can allow other animals or cats to enter your home, it's not at all ideal, although it can be enhanced a bit by keeping the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar fitted with a magnet, IR or RF chip. This means that any animal that doesn't have a special collar cannot get into or leave your home. The fact that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who has a similar model of collar can easily gain access to your house, is the drawback with this sort of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be improved to a certain extent with an RF cat flap and collar system offering a user programmed unique identifier. An additional layer of security and control is achieved, guaranteeing that only your feline friend gains access.

Choosing a cat flap that can be triggered by your pet's microchip, is the next level in access gadgets for felines. You have to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you have several cats it will allow multiple entries. The flap is unfastened anytime your cat is nearby, only permitting exit or entry to pets that are microchipped.

It is necessary to know the interior construction, since some door panels are lined with steel for further security. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the best for cat flap installation, so if yours has got a slatted style door panel, it might be easier to swap this for a single pane.

Before installing a new flap in a double glazing panel which has been previously pre-cut, confirming that the existing glass has been made and installed accurately is essential.
