Cat Flap Fitter Alford

Cat Flap Fitter Alford Lincolnshire (LN13): To give your cat the independence it needs to live a life of contentment, you could fit a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Alford home. Similar to humans, when kept inside, cats will often start to show signs of frustration and anxiety. When your cat is allowed instant access to the great outdoors via a cat flap, there is a much better chance of it staying both physically and mentally healthy. However, what style of cat flap is most suitable for your situation?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is merely that. A sheet of flexible material placed over a hole in a door to enable a cat to pass through it, but keep out the elements. While this may be acceptable in a shed or outhouse door, most Alford cat owners would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their house.

Because this solution permits other animals or cats to enter your house, it's not at all ideal, though it can be enhanced somewhat by holding the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red variations of cat flap. This requires your cat to wear a collar that's got either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased in it. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will not be able to trigger the flap and get into or leave your property, hence preventing some unwelcome visitors. The point that any other moggy in the area that has a similar collar can easily gain access to your property, is the drawback with this still fairly basic kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of this equipment as they can be programmed by the pet's owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

The next level in feline access security is to consider a model of cat flap which can be triggered by your cat's micro-chip. The details of your cat's microchip are entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one pet). Entry and exit can only be achieved by microchipped pets, and the flap is unlocked whenever you cat is in the vicinity.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you should make certain it is of a type that can be locked into position. For added security, almost all cat flaps feature a four way locking mechanism these days. This allows your cat flap to enable only admittance into your house, be locked fully, permit only exit from your home, or have two-way exit and entry functionality. This offers you a number of solutions on exactly how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night. A few of the more expensive cat flaps can be programmed to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, based on your cat's and your requirements.

If you're pretty good at do-it-yourself, fitting a cat flap should not be that difficult, as long as you've got a solid timber door on your Alford home. Not in any circumstances should you try to fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These types of fixtures require a professional installation from a reliable cat flap installer or odd job man with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN ALFORD

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in your double glazing to install your new cat flap, stop them without delay and ask them to leave. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into a pre-existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Cutting or drilling into any kind of double glazing will destroy its strength and security, as well as its insulation attributes. The double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should not be attempted in any circumstances whatsoever.

A specialist cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current double glazing pane and have a glazing company make a new purpose made one. As an integral part of its construction this new double glazed panel will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be installed snugly into. This is basically the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, although it can take one or two weeks to produce. When your new pane of glass shows up, the fitter will remove the old unit, and replace it with the new "cat flap ready" panel. The fitting of your cat flap can then be carried out.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier, wooden doors are the simplest option with regards to cat flap installation on your property in Alford. It's usually safer to bring in an experienced carpenter or cat flap fitter, if you're uncomfortable with making a big hole in your back or front door. This will give you the peace of mind that you will finish up with an expertly fitted cat flap, and that the job has been done properly and without causing harm to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite possible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. It pays to know the internal construction, because some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for extra security. The simplest kind of installation is in doors having one single panel, subsequently if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slatted pane for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or security reasons, you don't want to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could always opt to install your cat flap on an external wall of your house. This kind of installation is certainly better left to the pros, because it calls for considerably more equipment and skill to execute. You could go for a straightforward tunnel style, or even a right angle version that allows entry through a pillar. This installation involves a neat square shaped hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted. A cat flap is then installed on each end of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Alford - If your window, door or wall already has a cat flap fitted, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it is perfectly possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A competent cat flap fitter in Alford will efficiently remove the old cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without harming the surrounding window, door or wall.

Before attaching the new cat flap in a double glazed pane that has been pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been cut and installed accurately is vital. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge up, the pane will have to be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety problems with the new cat flap.
