The most rudimentry kind of cat flap is basically that. A hole is cut in a door and a bendable material is fixed over the gap to give protection from the elements. Of course, this is very basic, and won't be adequate for most Selsey cat owners, who would prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although it might be okay for an outhouse door or fence panel.

As this solution allows other cats or creatures to enter your house, it is not at all recommended, though it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in place by adding magnetic strips.

The next step up from the magnetic strip design are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar fitted with a magnet, RF or IR chip. Therefore any animal that hasn't got one of these special collars can't access or leave your property. The drawback here is that any other cat in the area who has a similar model of collar could perchance access your home when using this sort of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to a certain degree with an RF cat flap and collar system containing an owner programmed unique identifier.

The next stage in feline entry security is to fit the kind of cat flap that recognises your cat's micro-chip. You have to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you have several cats it will allow multiple entries. When your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and permits only your microchipped pets to enter/exit.

Regardless of what cat flap you buy, it should be capable of being locked in place. These days, almost all cat flaps available on the market feature a four way locking mechanism for added security. Which means that the cat flap can be locked fully, permit only exit from your home, permit access into your home only, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This will give you solutions for all times of day and night, to control how your cat flap operates. The ability to carry out different functions according to the time of day, and in line with your pet's and your needs is also an option with some of the high end brands of cat flap.

If you have a timber door in your home in Selsey, fitting a cat flap yourself shouldn't be too difficult. On no account should you try to fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. This sort of installation requires the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and skilled odd job men who are glad to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN SELSEY

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, send them packing immediately. A new cat flap can not be installed into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any kind of double glazed unit will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will diminish its security, strength and thermal insulation properties. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsafe.

A trustworthy Selsey cat flap fitter will diligently get the dimensions of your current panel and order a custom-made one from a local glazing company. So that the cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new double glazing panel will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its construction. This is really the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, although it might take a week or two to produce. After construction, your old glass pane will be taken out, and the brand new one put in. The cat flap will then be fitted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As mentioned earlier in this article, wooden door panels are the simplest alternative when it comes to installing a new cat flap on your house in Selsey.

An undertaking like this is fairly inexpensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your pet has an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in most cases. It pays to know the interior construction, because some uPVC door panels are steel lined for further security. A one piece panel allows for easier installation, so if you have a uPVC door that is slatted, it might be more economical to replace the panel with a single panel model.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you do not wish to have a chunk cut out of one of your doors, you could always decide to install your cat flap into an external wall of your house in Selsey. A cat flap entrance in a wall calls for considerably more equipment and expertise to fit, therefore it is definitely best left to a specialist. You could pick out a straightforward tunnel style, or even a right angled model that allows access through a pillar. This installation calls for a square shaped hole being made through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted. 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 Your Existing Cat Flap in Selsey - If you already have a cat flat, but it is either broken or not operating correctly, the existing hole in your wall, window or door can be used for a replacement providing that the new cat flap is of a similar size. A good cat flap installer in Selsey will be capable of removing your unwanted cat flap, and mount a brand new one in its place without harming the door, wall or window.

If the substitute cat flap is to be mounted in a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must make sure that the existing glass has been made and installed correctly. If you discover that this isn't the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the pane will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems.

Automatic Cat Flaps

For pet owners who want to give their cats freedom while keeping control over their home's security, automatic cat flaps are a game-changer. Unlike traditional flaps, these clever devices use technology to grant access only to your cat, often through microchip recognition or programmable collars. This means no more unwanted visits from the neighbour's cat or, worse, stray animals. With an automatic cat flap, your pet gets the independence they crave, and you get peace of mind.

Automatic Cat Flaps Selsey

One of the biggest advantages of automatic cat flaps is their customisable access settings. Many models let you programme the flap to lock and unlock at specific times, which is ideal if you prefer your cat to stay indoors at night. Some even come with app controls, so you can manage access remotely, perfect for those times when your schedule changes. These flaps can also help keep out harsh weather, thanks to their improved sealing and insulation compared to standard flaps.

That said, installing an automatic cat flap isn't always an easy task, particularly if it has to be fitted into materials like glass, brick, or other tricky surfaces. This is where the help of a professional installer can really make a difference. A skilled technician will safely fit the flap without jeopardising the integrity of your door or wall. They'll also ensure that the flap operates correctly, saving you from the stress of having to figure it out yourself through trial and error.

Overall, an automatic cat flap is a brilliant investment that benefits both your home and your pet. Combining modern features with practicality, it makes life easier for everyone involved. Professional installation is the best way to guarantee the flap operates as intended, giving you peace of mind about security and reliability. It's a practical choice for pets and owners alike in Selsey! (Tags: Automatic Cat Flap Installation Selsey).

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

To ensure the comfort and safety of both outdoor and indoor cats, cat flap weatherproofing is vital. The feline enjoys a warm and dry environment as a properly weatherproofed cat flap prevents rain, wind and cold draughts from seeping into the house. High-quality seals and insulating materials in cat flaps ensure a tight barrier against the elements. Consider, additionally, the installation of a weatherproof tunnel extension to shield the entryway from harsh weather conditions. Routine maintenance, such as checking seals for wear and tear, will ensure the cat flap remains effective in providing a cosy and weather-protected space for the cat.
