Cat Flap Fitter Bexley

Cat Flap Fitter Bexley Greater London (DA5): To provide your cat with the freedom and independence that it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Bexley property. When continuously kept indoors, cats as with people, will get irritated and grumpy. When your beloved cat is allowed easy access to the outside world by means of a cat flap, there's a far better likelihood of it staying both physically and mentally healthy. If you elect to go down the cat flap route, you will then have to determine what is the best type of cat flap for you.

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is simply that. A hole is cut into an external door and a bendable material is hung over the gap to offer a bit of some protection from the weather. Whilst this could be appropriate in a fence panel or outhouse door, the vast majority of cat owners in Bexley would doubtless favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their house.

This basic design can be improved on to some degree with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, but it's still a long way from being perfect since it allows other creatures or cats a means by which to enter into your house.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are a significant step up from the basic magnetic strip version. This involves your cat wearing a collar that's got either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased in it. No animal is going to be able to get into or leave your property unless it's fitted with one of these special collars. The drawback here is that any other moggy in the area that has a similar collar can easily get into your property with this type of cat flap fitted. An enhancement to this equipment is an RF cat flap/collar system which provides a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat's owner. An extra layer of security and control is achieved, guaranteeing that only your purrfect companion gains access.

Choosing a cat flap which can be triggered by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next level in entry security for felines. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you've got more than one cat), to give exclusive access. Whenever your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and permits solely your microchipped pets to enter/exit.

Regardless which cat flap you purchase, it must have the ability to be locked in place. Currently, the majority of cat flaps available on the market boast a four way locking mechanism for added flexibility. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit only admittance into your property, permit only exit from your home, be locked fully, or have 2-way exit and entrance capability. This gives you a number of alternatives on precisely how your cat flap works any time of the day and night. The ability to perform specific functions according to the time of day, and based on your cat's and your requirements is also a possibility with some of the higher end brands of cat flap.

If you're pretty decent at DIY, fitting a cat flap shouldn't be too much of a challenge, as long as you have a solid timber door on your Bexley home. On no account should you attempt to fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel.
