Smooth the edges – Before fitting a cat flap, smooth the edges with sandpaper. Again, go slowly and keep an eye on the lines to make sure you don’t remove too much of the door Prop the cat flap open with a peg or strong tape. Give your cat time to get used to going in and out through the hole and lower it slightly over time so that they have to start pushing it a little. If your cat is reluctant to use the flap, try enticing them through with their favourite treats. As a general rule, the simplest way to fit a cat flap is within a flat panel of a wooden door. You just need to make sure the installation is watertight to stop rain from penetrating the door.

This is the most basic setting; however, these cat flaps can get a lot more technical. For example: If you’ve got more than one cat, the Dual Scan from Sure Petcare could be just the cat flap you’re looking for. It works with both microchips and the SureFlap RFID collar tag but allows you to programme it for individual cats. Choosing the best cat door can be challenging if you are unsure of what you need, so here are some things to consider when buying: Measure their width – The widest part of your cat will usually be their chest or hips, so take a measurement from one side to the otherA microchip cat flap is a great solution. They’re small, weatherproof and have a technological barrier to prevent unwanted cats from entering your home. This cat flap has the capacity to remember up to 32 microchips. So, even if you’re the most renowned cat lady in the country, this door will allow only your cats in, and keep anyone else out. Cut into the outlined shape using a jigsaw. This step can vary depending on the material you are working with. The majority will come with a cut-out guide which will allow you to get the general shape and size of the flap on the door before cutting out. Then, you should use a jigsaw to cut the space. It is usually just a case of then screwing the frame to the door and ensuring there are no gaps around the edges.

Finally, remember that your cat won’t want to reach up too far to get in and out of the cat flap. Make sure you install it at a suitable height for their legs. Advanced microchip cat flaps have timer settings. These enable you to pre-set a 24-hour schedule. For example, if you don’t want your cats out at night you can set it to ‘entrance only’ between 9pm and 6am.

With the Ferplast Swing Cat Flap with Microchip, even slightly more rotund felines can enjoy the freedom of heading outside without having to ask permission. It’s available in a range of different sizes and is therefore one of the best microchip cat flap options for larger cats. Installation is also made significantly easier with the included cutting template – perfect if you want to reduce the time spent working out measurements. If you wish to hire an external cat flap fitter to fit a cat flap, you can generally expect to pay the following in labour charges for fitting a small cat flap: Although this might sound surprising, some microchip cat flaps run off mains electricity. If you don’t want to mess with running wires through your kitchen, battery-powered cat flaps are generally more convenient . Look for a model with at least an A+ energy rating and where the batteries are reported to last over six months. A well-designed microchip cat flap is like the most scrupulous of club bouncers. No ID? No entry! A cat enclosure, or catio, could be ideal if you are happy to leave a window open but not let anything other than your cat in.

The best way to work out the size of the cat flap that you need is to measure your cat(s). There are two main measurements you’ll want to take: Setting up the unit after installation is simple with one-button programming. This prevents unwanted animals from entering your home without requiring a complicated multi-step process. Some uPVC doors can be fairly thin and brittle (especially in cold weather) and others incorporate a sheet of ply, mdf or even aluminium for added strength.Plus, it comes with an additional microchipped collar, eliminating the concern that your cat’s microchip type won’t be compatible with the flap’s system. Although this is unlikely anyway, it can occasionally be a problem with some cat flaps so it’s nice to have the collar just in case. Many allow you to apply settings for several cats, which can be handy for restricting access if one needs to remain indoors after a visit to the vet, while there are even cat flaps that come with compatible apps for controlling the settings remotely. Using the drill, make a hole in each corner of the template. Keep in mind that if you have a metal door (common for exterior doors) you'll need to use a drill bit specifically designed for this material.

Microchip identification flaps are often thought of as the best option for keeping unwelcome moggies out of your home. But they’re also great if you want your cats to come and go as they please, or if you want to prevent one going out but not the others. While battery-powered microchip cat flaps are the most common, some pet doors connect to the mains. The majority of microchip cat flaps take AA batteries; however, make sure to buy the best quality batteries you can. You might grow tired of frequently rebuying new batteries depending on how energy efficient your cat flap is. Glass requires a circular hole for installation so, if you’re using a rectangular cat flap, you’ll need to buy a circular mounting adapter.Similar to a microchip, except it only needs a magnetic strip on the collar. You can choose to only let your cat in or out rather than both ways, and it limits strays, but any cat with a magnetic collar can still enter. There is also a risk they could lose the collar key Two-Way Manual If you are planning to install a cat flap in your home, we can help you find the best local cat flap fitters in your area.
