The most basic sort of cat flap, is simply that. A piece of bendable material placed over a hole in a door to permit a cat to climb through, but keep out the elements.

This basic design is still a long way from being perfect since it allows other cats or animals a way to get into your home, but it can be improved on with the addition of a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place.

Moving on from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. In this case, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will not be able to trigger the flap and leave or access your home, hence preventing some unwelcome visitors. The downside here is that any other cat in the Wadebridge area that has a similar collar may be able to get into your house when using this kind of cat flap. An enhancement to this device is a RF cat flap/collar system which features a unique identifier that can be programmed by the home owner. Providing an added layer of control and security, this makes certain that only your furry friend gets access.

The next step-up in feline entrance security is to fit a cat flap that recognises your cat's microchip. The microchip details are entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one pet). Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it will unlock and allow only your micro-chipped pets to enter or exit.

It is necessary to know the interior construction, because some uPVC door panels have a steel lining for additional security. A one-piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be less expensive to replace the panel with a single pane model.

Wall Installation - If you don't wish to cut a hole in your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons, you can have a cat flap installed in an exterior wall. Requiring much more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is definitely better left to the pros, if it is to be executed correctly. There are several options for this type of installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angle (through pillar) adaption. Installation involves a neat square shaped hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted. Both ends of the hole are then installed with a cat flap so that your furry friend can enter and exit your house whenever it wants.

When your installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be necessary to check that this was previously done correctly, before attaching the new flap. If it's found this isn't the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass will need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues.
