The most basic sort of cat flap, is merely that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a flexible material is placed over it to offer a bit of some protection from the weather. Naturally, this is really basic, and will not be adequate for most cat owners in Kendal, who would favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their house, although it could be acceptable for a shed or outhouse door.

This uncomplicated model is still a long way off being ideal because it allows other animals or cats a means by which to get into your house, however it can be marginally improved on with the addition of a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place.

A step up from the magnetic strip model are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be encased in your cat's collar. No animal will be able to get into or leave your home unless it is fitted with this special collar. The downside is that any other cat in the area that has a similar collar might be able to get into your house when using this sort of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some extent with an RF cat flap and collar system containing a user programmed unique identifier. With this, an extra layer of security and control is established to make certain that only your purrfect companion gains access.

The next step-up in feline entrance security is to fit a model of cat flap that recognises 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 have several cats it will take multiple entries. The flap is unlocked anytime your cat is in close proximity, only allowing access to pets that are microchipped.

Whatever cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in place. Currently, almost all cat flaps on the market boast a 4-way locking system for added security. Which means that it's got the capability to permit admittance into your house only, permit exit only, be locked fully, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This offers you solutions for all times of day and night, to have control over precisely how your cat flap operates. In line with your cat's and your needs, there is even the option to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with a number of the higher end devices.

If you are pretty decent at DIY, putting in your own cat flap shouldn't be too difficult, as long as you've got a timber door on your Kendal home. Under no circumstances should you attempt to install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. These sorts of fixtures require a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or odd job man with the necessary skills and equipment.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN KENDAL

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to fit your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, immediately send them on their way. A new cat flap can't be mounted into a pre-existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Any kind of double glazing will be damaged by cutting into it, and will diminish its security, strength and insulating properties. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make the double glazing unsafe.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazing unit made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Kendal cat flap fitter will measure your existing pane and put in an order for the new one. This new glazed panel will have a hole cut out as an integral part of its structure where your cat flap can be installed. This is really the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, although it can take a week or two to produce. As soon as your new panel of glass arrives, the fitter will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. It's now possible to install your new cat flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite feasible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. Having said that, certain uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for additional security, which might cause issues. The easiest type of installation is in doors having a single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be cheaper and easier overall to replace the slatted pane with a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into a door, you could decide to install a cat flap into an outside wall of your home. This kind of installation is undoubtedly better left to the pros, because it calls for a lot more equipment and skill to accomplish. You will find there are a number of possibilities for this type of installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angled (through pillar) adaption. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole cut out of your specified wall. A cat flap of your choice is then mounted on both ends to allow your furry friend to enter and exit as it pleases.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Kendal - If you've already got a cat flap installed on your window, door or wall, but it's damaged or not working properly, the existing hole can, with luck, still be used for installing a new one. A competent cat flap installer in Kendal will be able to remove your old,unwanted cat flap, and fit a brand new one in its place without damaging the surrounding door, window or wall.

If the substitute cat flap is going to be installed in a pre cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must ensure that the glass has been made and installed in the right way. The glass pane will have to be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems, if it becomes obvious this is not the case and corners were cut during the previous installation.
