The most straightforward type of cat flap, is simply that. A hole in a door with a bendable bit of material fixed over it, to give protection from the elements, but allow the cat pass through. Even though this may be acceptable for an outhouse or shed door, the majority of cat owners in Horbury would no doubt prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their home.

Since this solution permits other cats or animals to enter your home, it isn't at all recommended, although it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in position by adding a magnetic strip.

The next step up from the magnetic strip model are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. In this case, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and leave or access your property, hence avoiding some undesirable visitors. The fact that any other cat in the Horbury area who has a similar collar could possible gain access to your property, is the downside with this kind of cat flap. An improvement to this equipment is a RF cat flap and collar system which offers a unique identifier that can be programmed by the householder.

The next level in feline entrance security is to fit the kind of cat flap which identifies your pet's own micro-chip. The microchip number is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you've got several cats). The flap will be unfastened whenever your cat is nearby, only permitting entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.

Regardless of what cat flap you buy, it should have the ability to be locked in position. For added flexibility, almost all cat flaps have a 4-way locking mechanism nowadays. This means that the cat flap can permit entry into your house only, permit exit from your property only, be locked fully, or be set for two way entry and exit. This offers full control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. A few of the more expensive devices can be set to perform specific functions according to the time of day, based on yours and your cat's needs.

Installing a cat flap by yourself can be really simple if you have a solid timber door on your Horbury property, and decent DIY abilities. On no account should you try and install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. Such situations require the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, who will have the tools and knowledge for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HORBURY

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing window or door panel, immediately send them packing. New cat flaps cannot be installed into existing double glazed window or door panels. Making holes in your double glazing destroys not only the security and strength of the panel, but it compromises the insulating attributes as well. Your double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should not be done under any circumstances.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazed panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your local Horbury cat flap installer will measure your current panel and order a brand new one. This new glazed panel will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its construction where your cat flap will be installed. You might have a one or two week waiting period for this special pane to be manufactured, but if it's necessary to have a cat flap fitted into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to do it. After fabrication, the old glass pane will be taken out, and the new one put in. The installing of the cat flap will then be concluded.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The simplest option for installing a new cat flap in Horbury, as was mentioned previously, are solid wooden door panels. It is usually better to get in touch with an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you're at all dubious about creating a big hole in your front or back door. A project of this type should not be expensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your pet will have the use of an expertly fitted flap.

Cat Flap Installation Horbury West Yorkshire

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be used for installing a cat flap. It pays to know the interior construction, because some uPVC doors incorporate a steel lining for extra security. The simplest type of installation is in doors with a single panel, therefore if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be cheaper and easier overall to exchange the slats for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - It's also possible to get a cat flap mounted in an exterior wall of your home in Horbury, if you don't want to cut chunks out of your doors, either for security or aesthetic reasons. Needing a lot more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installation is undoubtedly better left to the pros, if it's to be executed successfully. You could choose a straightforward tunnel style, or maybe a right angle version that allows entry via a pillar. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted into a square shaped hole made into your specified wall. Each end of the hole is then fitted with a cat flap so that your furry friend can get out of and into your home whenever it desires.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Horbury - If you've already got a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not functioning properly, the current hole in your door, wall or window can be fitted with a replacement providing that the new flap is of a similar size. A decent cat flap installer in Horbury will be capable of removing the old,unwanted cat flap, and fix a new one as a replacement without damaging the door, window or wall.

Before attaching the new cat flap in double glazing that's been previously pre-cut, checking that the current glass has been manufactured and installed in the right way is vital. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge job, the glass must be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues with the new flap.
