Cat Flap Fitter Stornoway Scotland (HS1): Installing a cat flap doesn't just save you the inconvenience of having to open the door every time your cat wishes to go in or out, it also gives your cat extra independence and enhances it's overall quality of life. Cats are like people in many ways, and will often start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept inside for lengthy periods of time. When granted easy access to the outside world with a cat flap, your pet has a better chance of staying healthy and fit. However, what type of cat flap is best for your situation?

The most rudimentry style of cat flap is essentially that. A hole is cut into a door and a flexible material is fixed over the gap to give a bit of protection from the elements. Obviously, this is extremely basic, and won't be adequate for most Stornoway cat owners, who would no doubt favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their home, although it might be okay for a fence panel or outhouse door.

This simple design can be slightly improved upon with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position, but it is still a long way off being perfect because it enables other animals or cats a means by which to enter your house.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. In this case, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. Subsequently, any animal that doesn't have one of these special collars can't access or leave your house. Again this is a fairly simple form of cat flap, as any other cat in the area who's got a similar style of collar could possible access your house. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to a certain extent with an RF cat flap and collar system having a user programmed unique identifier.

The kind of cat flap which is can be recognised by your pet's microchip, is the next step-up in feline access security. You need to enter the number of your cat's micro-chip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you have more than one pet it will allow multiple entries. The flap is unfastened anytime your cat is in the vicinity, only permitting exit or entry to pets that are microchipped.

Regardless which cat flap you buy, it must have the ability to be locked in position. For extra flexibility, most cat flaps have a 4-way locking system nowadays. Which means that the cat flap can allow exit only, be fully locked, enable entrance into your home only, or be set for two-way entry and exit. This gives total control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. In keeping with your cat's and your requirements, there's even the option to perform different functions according to the time of day, with several of the more advanced devices.

If you are pretty decent at do-it-yourself, putting in a cat flap shouldn't be too difficult, as long as you've got a wooden door on your Stornoway home. But, if you're looking to fit it into a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you should ask for outside help. These types of fixtures call for a professional installation from a reputable cat flap fitter or handyman with the appropriate equipment and skills.
