The simplest sort of cat flap is basically that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable piece of material placed over it, to give protection from the weather, but let the cat go through. Most Havant cat owners would no doubt favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their home, although this may be suitable for a garden fence panel or shed door.

Because this solution permits other cats or animals to enter your property, it's not at all recommended, although it can be enhanced somewhat by holding the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar fitted with a magnet, IR or RF chip. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and access or leave your house, therefore preventing some unwelcome visitors. The downside here is that any other moggy in the Havant area who has a similar style of collar could possible get into your property when using this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to some degree with an RF cat flap and collar system featuring an owner programmed unique identifier. Access is limited to your furry companion alone, delivering an extra layer of security and control.

The next step-up in feline access security is to consider a model of cat flap which can be triggered by your pet's own micro-chip. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you've got more than one cat it will take multiple entries. Exit and entry are only possible for micro-chipped pets, and the flap will be unlocked whenever you cat is in close proximity.

Regardless which cat flap you purchase, it should have the ability to be locked in position. Most cat flaps sold today boast a four way locking mechanism. This makes it possible for your cat flap to enable only entry into your house, be locked fully, enable exit from your premises only, or have 2-way exit and entry functionality. This will provide you with a range of solutions on precisely how your cat flap works any time of the day and night. The ability to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on your cat's and your needs is also an option with some of the high end brands of cat flap.

Installing a cat flap by yourself can be quite simple if you've got a solid wood door, and respectable do-it-yourself capabilities. Under no circumstances should you try and install a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel. Such situations require the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or carpenter, who will have all the tools and knowledge for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HAVANT

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, send them packing immediately. New cat flaps can't be mounted into pre-existing double glazed window or door panels. Any sort of double glazing will be ruined by cutting into it, and will take away its thermal attributes, strength and security. In actual fact, it makes your glazing unsound and it shouldn't ever be done.

A reliable Havant cat flap fitter will diligently get the dimensions of your current panel and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing company. This new pane will have a hole pre-cut as part of its construction where the cat flap will be installed. This may take a week or so to manufacture, however it is really the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door. After construction, the old glass pane will be taken out, and the brand new one put in. The fitting of your cat flap can then be concluded.

External Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as we stated previously, the easiest options for new cat flap installation in Havant. If you're nervous about creating a hole in your back or front door, it's advisable to call a professional to do the job for you. This type of project won't be all that expensive and is really worth doing properly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional offers you that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally be installed into uPVC doors. It pays to know the interior construction, since some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for additional security. A one-piece panel enables easier installation, so if you have a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be less expensive to replace the panel with a single pane model.

Wall Installation - If you do not really wish to cut a hole in your doors, either for aesthetic or safety reasons, you can get a cat flap installed on an exterior wall. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a bit more skill and equipment to install, so it is definitely best left to a specialist. You can decide on a straight through tunnel style, or maybe a right angled version that enables access through a pillar. A neat square shaped hole will need to be cut through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, open ended square tube. The cat flap you have chosen can then be mounted on both ends to permit your cat to come in and out as it pleases.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Havant - If you already have a cat flap installed on a door, wall or window, but it's damaged or not operating correctly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, still be used for the installation of a replacement. Your cat flap installer should be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding wall, window or door, and install a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

Before fitting a new flap in a double glazing pane that has been pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been cut and installed correctly is crucial. The panel must be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems, if it becomes obvious that this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the previous installation.
