The most fundamental kind of cat flap, is simply that. A hole is cut in an external door and a flexible material is hung over it to give a bit of protection from the elements. The majority of cat owners in Spilsby would prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their house, although this might be suitable for a fence panel or outhouse door.

Because this solution allows other animals or cats to enter your house, it isn't at all recommended, though it can be enhanced to some extent by holding the flap in position with the addition of a magnetic strip.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are a significant step up from the basic magnetic strip version. This requires that your cat wears a collar that has either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased within it. No animal will be able to get into or leave your property unless it is equipped with this special collar. The point that any other cat in the Spilsby area who's got a similar model of collar might be able to gain access to your home, is the downside with this sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these devices and can be programmed by the cat's owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

The next step-up in feline entry security is to choose a model of cat flap that recognises your pet's own micro-chip. You have to enter the unique number of your cat's microchip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you have more than one cat it will take multiple entries. Whenever your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it unlocks and permits just your microchipped pets to exit/enter.

The ability to lock it in position is vital no matter which cat flap you're buying. Nowadays, almost all cat flaps available on the market feature a 4-way locking system for added flexibility. Which means that the cat flap can be locked fully, enable only entry into your home, permit exit only, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This gives full control over the functioning of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. A few of the more advanced cat flaps can be programmed to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, in keeping with yours and your pet's needs.

Fitting a cat flap by yourself can be fairly simple if you've got a solid wood door, and decent do-it-yourself skills. Not in any circumstances should you try and install a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel. This sort of installation will require the attention of an expert, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and talented handymen who'll be delighted to take on such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN SPILSBY

Double Glazing Installations - If you happen to hire somebody who attempts to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your cat flap, stop them right away and ask them to leave. New cat flaps can not be fitted into pre-existing double glazed doors or window panels. Drilling or cutting into any sort of double glazing will destroy its security and strength, together with its insulation attributes. In fact, it renders your glazing unsound and it should never be done.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazing panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Spilsby cat flap fitter will measure your existing unit and put in an order for a brand new one. This new pane will be delivered with a pre-cut hole as part of its construction where the cat flap can be fitted. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it might take two weeks or so to manufacture. When your new glass panel arrives, the installer will take out the old unit, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. It will now be possible to fit the new cat flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be sometimes be suitable for a cat flap. Nevertheless, certain uPVC door panels have a steel lining for additional security, which may cause some problems. A one piece door panel enables simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it might be more economical to exchange this panel for a single panel type.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or security reasons, you don't want to have a hole cut into your door, you could elect to install the cat flap into an outside wall of your home in Spilsby. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a bit more equipment and expertise to install, therefore it is certainly best left to a professional. There are a number of choices for this type of installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angle (through pillar) configuration. With this type of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole cut out of your specified wall. Each end of the hole is then fitted with a cat flap so your cat can get out of and into your home whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Spilsby - If you already have a cat flap installed on your window, wall or door, but it is damaged or not functioning properly, the current hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for the installation of a new one. A specialist Spilsby cat flap fitter will gladly remove your old device and replace it with a new cat flap without causing any harm to the window, wall or door on which it is secured.

If the new cat flap is being mounted in a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must check that the glass has been cut and installed correctly.

Maintaining the safety and comfort of indoor and outdoor cats, cat flap weatherproofing is vital. A dry and warm environment for both the feline and the occupants is ensured by a correctly weatherproofed cat flap, preventing wind, rain and draughts from seeping into the house. To create a tight barrier against the weather, search for cat flaps designed with high-quality insulating materials and seals. An additional measure to protect the entryway from harsh weather conditions is the installation of a weatherproof tunnel extension. The cat flap's effectiveness in providing a weather-protected and cozy space for the cat is preserved through routine maintenance, which involves checking seals for damage and deterioration. (13579)
