A cat flap at its most fundamental is just that. A hole in a door with a bendable sheet of material fixed over it, to give protection from the elements, but allow the cat go through. The majority of cat owners in Highbridge would doubtless favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their property, although this might be acceptable for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.

This standard model can be improved on a little with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, however it is still a long way from being ideal as it enables other creatures or cats to enter into your house.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be sewn into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will not be able to open the flap and get into or leave your home, therefore preventing some unwelcome visitors. Once again this is a relatively simple kind of cat flap, as any other cat in the area who has a similar collar will be able to get into your property. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system featuring an owner programmed unique identifier. With this, an extra layer of security and control is established to make certain that only your feline friend gains access.

A cat flap that's can be operated by your cat's micro-chip, is the next level in feline access security. The details of your cat's microchip are entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one pet). Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it unlocks and permits solely your micro-chipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

Fitting a cat flap on your own can be pretty simple if you have a solid timber door on your Highbridge house, and decent DIY abilities.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HIGHBRIDGE

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap has to be fitted into a double glazing panel, and your hired "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop the job right away and show them the gate. A new cat flap can not be fitted into an existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Making a hole in the double glazing damages not only the strength and security of the glazing, but it removes the insulation attributes too. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsafe.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazed pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your local Highbridge cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current unit and order the new one. So that your cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new glazed pane will be provided with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its construction. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, even though it may take a couple of weeks to manufacture. Once you have obtained your new modified glass panel, the old one can be removed and the new unit fitted. Your cat flap will then be installed.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in most instances. It pays to know the internal construction, as some uPVC door panels incorporate a steel lining for added security. A one-piece door panel allows for simpler installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it may be less expensive to replace the panel with a single panel style.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to cut a hole in your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons, you could always have a cat flap installed within an outside wall. A wall cat flap entrance requires a bit more skill and equipment to fit, therefore it is definitely better left to a specialist. There are a number of options for this kind of installation, including a straightforward design, or a right angle (through pillar) model. With this kind of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly made into your wall. An appropriate cat flap is then attached to both ends of the hole.

A professional Highbridge cat flap installer will gladly take off your old entry device and replace it with a brand new cat flap without causing any damage to the door, window or wall on which it's mounted.

When the installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it is important to confirm that this was previously done correctly, before fixing the new cat flap. If it's found that corners were cut with the previous installation, the glass will need to be removed and exchanged to avoid any safety and security issues with the new cat flap.
