A door all to themselves.
The SWING pet flap is as useful for them
as it is for you. You can use it to leave your cat or dog free to come in
and out of the garden, giving them freedom that would otherwise be
denied. You can also use it to offer them their own ‘personalised’ door
that allows them to come in or go out safely. With all its functions the
SWING pet flap can be made to fit all yours and your pets requirements:
you can allow your pets to re-enter but not to go back out. You can
arrange it so that the flap opens just for them. You can even see, with
just one glance, if they are indoors or outdoors. Let’s see how.
THE WONDERS OF THE SWING PET FLAP
The 4-way locking system: It’s so convenient! (1)
The SWING pet flap has been designed to meet all your requirements
and those of your pet. For this reason you can rely on the original 4-way
locking system that enables you to control the usage by your pet. You
can choose between the following: Access only / Exit only / Access and
exit / Closed.
For further safety, the SWING 11 and SWING 15 versions use a double
locking system that is controlled by just one knob, all for the sake of
simplicity.
Windstopper system (2)
Innovative system preventing draughts.
Antishocking system
End stroke shock absorber in the door maximum opening (only on
SWING 9, 11, 15 versions).
The last IN or OUT direction indicator: You always know
where they are (3)
The SWING 5 and SWING 7 MAGNETIC use the last IN or OUT direction
indicator. It is a system that will help you know whether your pet is
indoors or outdoors. This feature is useful if you have to go out and you
can’t find your pet. A quick glance is sufficient: the “flag” (see picture)
on the bottom part of the pet flap will point in the last direction in
which your pet went through the flap after it closed.
Warning!
In severe weather conditions (wind, etc.) the total
reliability of this system cannot be guaranteed. If
your pet should open the flap without actually
going through the tunnel, the indicator would not
be reliable.
The magnetic system: a key all to themselves (4)
The SWING 7 MAGNETIC flap is also equipped with a magnetic key,
being a small and handy tab to be attached to your pet’s collar. The
magnetic key allows your pet to open the flap simply by approaching
it. The device is particularly useful, as it allows only your pet to come
into the house, so you don’t risk meeting up with unwanted guests
in your home.
Warning!
The magnetic system does
not work near metal objects, which could interfere
with the reliable operational efficiency of the
mechanism. If installed in double-glazed doors,
where there is a metal strip in between the panes,
this must not be in contact with the flap, unless
a plastic separation strip is required. The magnetic
system does not work if the flap is installed to
metal doors, for example metal doors covered in
uPVC (Ultra Resistant Polyvinyl Chloride), doors
with metal panels or security doors. The metal
door must be isolated (7a).
HOW TO TEACH YOUR PET TO USE THE SWING FLAP.
To teach
your pet how to use the SWING flap is much easier than you think. It
is important not to expect too much from your pet but to let it learn in
its own time. The easiest way for your pet to discover it is to leave the
flap completely open. Pets are curious by nature and will be quickly
tempted to go through the open flap towards freedom. If this is not the
case – and your pet isn’t that adventurous – you can always fall back
on a foolproof method: of blackmail, metaphorically speaking. Simply
prepare their favourite food and put it in front of its nose, firstly on one
side of the flap and then the other side. Your cat or dog will just not be
able to resist the temptation.
And now... push! Once your pet has got used to going through the
flap, it’s time to face the next step. Leave the pet flap closed, but not
locked: your pet, who now considers the flap to be its own, will not
think twice about pushing it to get to the other side. And if this doesn’t
happen straight away, go back to the old food ‘blackmail’ method. One
sniff and your dog or cat will naturally attempt to reach its target. It’s
a proven method. Often a move of house may provide another reason
to install the pet flap. If you have just moved, remember that your pet
also needs time to become familiar with their new surroundings too.
Therefore don’t rush: Only when your pet feels perfectly at home, will it
feel the need to discover all the secrets and new adventures, amongst
which, its own private door. As for the lock, you need a little patience:
only start to lock the flap once your pet is used to coming in and going
out of it. Cats and dogs will soon learn that the door is not always open,
but it still remains a wonderful way of coming in and going out all on
their own.
