When continuously kept inside, cats much like people, will get irritated and grumpy. Having accessibility to outside world by way of a cat flap will help your cat to remain fit, both physically and mentally. If this sounds like a good option for you, precisely what sort of cat flap should you go with?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is just that. A hole in a door with a flexible piece of material fixed over it, to give protection from the elements, but permit the cat go through. Most cat owners in Woking would prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their house, although this may be acceptable for a shed door or garden fence panel.

This uncomplicated model is still a long way off being perfect as it allows other cats or animals to get into your property, but it can be improved on slightly by adding a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. This requires your cat to have a collar that's got either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased in it. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your home unless it's equipped with this special collar. Once again this is a pretty basic kind of cat flap, because any other cat in the area who's got a similar model of collar can gain access to your home. An upgrade to this product is an RF cat flap/collar system which features a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat's owner. With this, an extra layer of control and security is established to ensure that only your furry friend gets access.

Having a cat flap which can identify your pet's microchip, is the next step-up in access security for felines in Woking. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's microchip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you have several cats it will accept multiple entries. When your cat passes close to the flap, it unlocks and permits just your micro-chipped pets to enter/exit.

No matter which cat flap you purchase, it must be capable of being locked in place. The majority of cat flaps sold currently feature a four way locking mechanism. Which means it has the capability to allow exit from your premises only, permit only entrance into your premises, be fully locked, or be put in 2-way exit and entry mode. This provides you with a number of options on exactly how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night. The wherewithal to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, and based on your cat's and your needs is also an option with some of the more advanced models of cat flap.

If you're fairly good at DIY, putting in your own cat flap shouldn't be that difficult, as long as you've got a solid timber door on your home in Woking. But, if you're hoping to fit it in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door, you must ask for outside help. This kind of installation calls for the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and skilled handymen who will be happy to accept such a task.

It isn't possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane.

So the cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new double glazing panel will arrive with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure.

After construction, the old glass will be removed, and the new one put in. The cat flap can then be mounted.

External Wooden Doors - The least complicated option for new cat flap installations in Woking, as was stated earlier, are wooden doors.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly feasible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. It pays to know the interior construction, because some door panels are steel lined for additional security. A one-piece panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be more economical to exchange this panel for a single pane model.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you do not wish to have a chunk cut out of your door, you could always opt to install a cat flap into an exterior wall of your home in Woking. A cat flap entrance in a wall calls for a little more skill and equipment to fit, therefore it is certainly better left to an expert. You'll find there are a couple of options for this type of installation, including a straight through tunnel design, or a right angled (through pillar) configuration.
