This standard model can be to some degree improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, however it is still far from perfect since it enables other cats or animals to get into your property.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. This involves your cat wearing a collar which has either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased in it. No animal will be able to get into or leave your property unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. The downside is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who has a similar style of collar could perchance gain access to your home with this kind of cat flap. An enhancement to this device is an RF cat flap/collar system which contains a unique identifier which can be programmed by the householder.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN LECHLADE

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while trying to install your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazing window or door panel, immediately send them packing. New cat flaps cannot be fitted into existing double glazing window or door panels. Cutting into any sort of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, as well as its insulating attributes. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it should never be done in any circumstances.

It is necessary to get a new double glazed unit made especially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your local Lechlade cat flap installer will take the measurements of your existing pane and put in an order for the new one. This new glazed pane will arrive with a hole cut out as a part of its construction where your cat flap will be installed. This is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, even though it might take two weeks or so to produce. As soon as your new panel of glass is delivered, the fitter will take out the old one, and replace it with the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. The installation of the cat flap will then be concluded.
