Cat Flap Fitter Albrighton

Cat Flap Fitter Albrighton Shropshire (WV7): To allow your cat the independence that it needs to live a happy life, you could fit a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Albrighton house. Cats tend to get irritated and grumpy when kept indoors, and not allowed to roam free. Allowing your pet access to the outside world by means of a cat flap can help to keep them physically and mentally fit. If this seems like a good option for you, exactly what type of cat flap should you go with?

The most fundamental style of cat flap, is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable piece of material placed over it, to give protection from the weather, but allow the cat pass through. The majority of Albrighton cat owners would prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house, although this may be acceptable for a garden fence panel or shed door.

This simple model is still far from ideal as it allows other animals or cats to get into your home, nonetheless it can be improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place.

Moving on from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. This requires that your cat wears a collar that has either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased inside it. No animal is going to be able to get into or leave your house unless it's fitted with this special collar. Again this is a pretty basic form of cat flap, as any other cat in the Albrighton area who has a similar model of collar could perchance gain access to your house. An enhancement to this product is an RF cat flap and collar system which contains a unique identifier that can be programmed by the householder.

The next stage in feline access security is to fit a model of cat flap that identifies your cat's micro-chip. The details of your cat's microchip are programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you've got several cats). Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it unlocks and allows only your micro-chipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

When you're buying a cat flap, you should make certain that it is of a design that can be locked into position. For extra security, most cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism these days. This allows your cat flap to be locked fully, permit only admittance into your premises, permit exit only, or have two way exit and entry functionality. This gives total control over how your cat flap works both during the day and throughout the night. The ability to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with your cat's and your needs is also a possibility with some of the more advanced models of cat flap.

Fitting a cat flap yourself can be really easy if you have a solid wood door, and reasonable do-it-yourself abilities. On no account should you try and install a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door. This kind of installation calls for the attention of an expert, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and talented handymen who'll be ready to accept such work.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN ALBRIGHTON

Double Glazing Installations - If you happen to employ someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your new cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. A new cat flap cannot be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Any type of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will detract from its thermal insulation properties, strength and security. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should not be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

A specialist cat flap fitter will measure your current double glazed pane and have a local glazing firm knock up a new one. So that your cat flap can be snugly fitted into it, this new double glazed unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its structure.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be installed with a cat flap. Having said that, some uPVC doors have got a steel lining for extra security, which may cause some issues. The simplest kind of cat flap installation is in doors with a single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slats for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you do not want to have a hole cut into your door, you could decide to install your cat flap in an outside wall of your property. A cat flap entrance in a wall calls for a bit more expertise and equipment to fit, therefore it is definitely better left to a specialist. There are a number of options for this kind of installation, including a straightforward design, or a right angle (through pillar) adaption.
