This standard model is still a long way off being ideal because it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to get into your home, however it can be improved on a little with the addition of a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position.

The next step up from the magnetic strip version are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be enclosed in your cat's collar. What this means is that any animal that does not have one of these special collars can't leave or access your home. The fact that any other cat in the neighbourhood that's got a similar style of collar can easily get into your property, is the downside with this still fairly basic kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these products because they can be programmed by the pet's owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet. Only your feline friend gains access, thus adding an added layer of control and security.

Fitting a cat flap that can be operated by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in entrance gadgets for felines. The details of your cat's microchip are entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one cat). Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped animals, and the flap is unlocked when you cat is in close proximity.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BRIERLEY HILL

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap needs to be installed in a double glazed window or door panel, and your appointed "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop them straight away and give them their marching orders. New cat flaps can not be mounted into existing double glazing window or door panels. Making a hole in the double glazing destroys not just the strength and security of the glazing, but it removes the insulating attributes as well. Your double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be attempted in any circumstances.

A trustworthy Brierley Hill cat flap installer will carefully get the dimensions of your current panel and order a custom-made one from a local glazing company. This new pane will arrive with a pre-cut hole as part of its structure where your cat flap can be fitted. You might have to wait a couple of weeks for this to be made, but if you need a cat flap installed in an existing patio or double glazed door, this is basically the only way to accomplish it. Once your new glass panel is delivered, the installer will remove the old one, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. The cat flap will then be fitted.

A one piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be more cost effective to replace the panel with a single panel style.

Wall Installation - If you do not really want to have a hole cut into your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons, you can have a cat flap installed within an outside wall. This form of installation is undoubtedly best left to an expert, since it requires much more skill and equipment to accomplish.

A cat flap is then mounted on both sides of the hole.
