Cats are similar to people in a lot of ways, and will sometimes start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept inside for lengthy periods of time. When your precious cat is allowed easy access to the great outdoors by way of a cat flap, there is a far better likelihood of it staying both physically and mentally fit. However, what style of cat flap is best in your case?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A hole is cut in an exterior door and a bendable material is fixed over it to offer some protection from the elements. Obviously, this is extremely basic, and will not be sufficient for most Cowdenbeath cat owners, who would prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although it might be suitable for a shed door or garden fence panel.

This basic design is still far from ideal as it allows other cats or creatures a way to enter into your house, nevertheless it can be improved on to some degree by adding magnetic strips to hold the flap in place.

A step up from the magnetic strip version are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With these, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and leave or get into your home, therefore preventing some undesirable visitors. Once again this is a relatively basic form of cat flap, since any other moggy in the Cowdenbeath area that's got a similar model of collar could possible access your house. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of this equipment because they can be programmed by the owner of the cat to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet. Access is restricted to only your purrfect companion, resulting in an added layer of control and security.

The next step-up in feline access security is to consider the type of cat flap which identifies your cat's own microchip. The details of your cat's micro-chip are entered into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one cat). The flap is unlocked anytime your cat is in the vicinity, only allowing access to animals that have a microchip.

The ability to lock it in position is important no matter which cat flap you're buying. Most cat flaps sold these days boast a 4-way locking mechanism. Which means that it has the capability to permit exit only, permit admittance into your house only, be fully locked, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This provides you with alternatives for all times of night and day, to have control over precisely how your cat flap operates. The ability to carry out specific functions according to the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your pet's requirements is also an option with some of the high end brands of cat flap.

If you've got a wooden door on your home in Cowdenbeath, putting in a cat flap yourself shouldn't be all that complicated. But, if you are planning to install it in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you ought to ask for outside assistance. Such situations require the expertise and skills of a professional cat flap fitter or handyman, who is certain to have have the knowledge and equipment for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN COWDENBEATH

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap has to be fitted into a double glazed panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and give them their marching orders. New cat flaps can't be fitted into existing double glazing window or door panels. Making holes in your double glazing destroys not merely the strength and security of the panel, but it removes the thermal insulation attributes as well. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders your double glazing unsafe.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazed unit made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your chosen Cowdenbeath cat flap installer will measure your current pane and put in an order for a brand new one. This new glazed panel will have a hole cut out as part of its construction where the cat flap can be installed. You may have to wait a week or two for this to be produced, but if you need a cat flap installed in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is really the only way to do it. When your new glass panel arrives, the fitter will take out the old unit, and swap it for the new "cat flap ready" one. Your cat flap will then be installed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The easiest alternative for new cat flap installations in Cowdenbeath, as was previously mentioned, are solid timber doors. If you are unsure about making a hole in your front or back door, it's probably a good idea to contact an expert to complete the task for you. This should give you the satisfaction of knowing that you'll wind up with a professionally fitted cat friendly flap, and that the project has been completed properly and without causing damage to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be used for installing a cat flap. Nevertheless, some uPVC doors are steel lined for further security, which may cause some problems. A one piece door panel enables simpler installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it might be more economical to exchange this panel for a single panel style.

Wall Installation - If, for safety or aesthetic reasons, you do not wish to have a hole cut into a door, you could elect to install your cat flap into an external wall of your property. A wall cat flap entrance requires a little more skill and equipment to fit, therefore it is certainly best left to an expert. You could pick out a straightforward tunnel style, or even a right angled model that permits entry through a pillar. With this kind of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square shaped hole made into your wall. The cat flap you have chosen can then be mounted on either end to allow your feline friend to come and go as it pleases.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Cowdenbeath - If you already have a cat flap installed on a wall, door or window, but it is broken or not operating properly, the current hole can, with luck, still be used for the installation of a replacement. A reputable cat flap installer in Cowdenbeath will efficiently remove the unwanted cat flap, and fix a new one in its place without harming the surrounding door, window or wall.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it will be essential to confirm that this was previously done correctly, before fitting the new flap. If you discover that this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass pane will have to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety problems.
