Cat Flap Fitter Alfreton

Cat Flap Fitter Alfreton Derbyshire (DE55): Fitting a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your property in Alfreton, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own bit of independence and freedom. Cats are just like people in many ways, and will often show signs of anxiety and frustration if kept indoors for lengthy periods of time. Allowing your cat easy access to world outside by way of a cat flap can also help in keeping them physically and mentally fit. Needless to say, that's not the end of the story, as there are numerous kinds of cat flaps, and figuring out what design is best for your pet might not be so easy.

A cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible bit of material hung over it, to keep out the elements, but allow the cat go through. While this may be acceptable in a shed door or garden fence panel, most cat owners in Alfreton would doubtless prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their house.

This uncomplicated model can be improved on slightly with magnetic strips to keep the flap in place, but it's still far from ideal as it enables other cats or animals a way to get into your house.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This requires that your cat wears a collar that's got either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased in it. Unless an animal is equipped with one of these special collars, it will be unable to trigger the flap and leave or get into your house, thus avoiding some unwanted visitors. The downside here is that any other cat in the neighbourhood who has a similar style of collar could perchance access your home when using this sort of cat flap. An enhancement to this device is a RF cat flap/collar system which has a unique identifier which can be programmed by the user.

The type of cat flap which is can be triggered by your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in Alfreton feline access security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you have several cats), to give exclusive access. When your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and permit only your micro-chipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you must make sure that it is of a design that can be locked. For added flexibility, nearly all cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism nowadays. This means that it has the capability to be locked fully, enable only entrance into your home, allow only exit from your home, or be put in two way exit and entry mode. This will provide you with solutions for all times of day and night, to have control over precisely how your cat flap operates. A few of the more advanced cat flaps can be programmed to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, in line with your pet's and your requirements.

If you've got a wood door in your property in Alfreton, putting in you own cat flap should not be that hard. But, if you're intending to install it in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you must ask for outside help. These kinds of fittings require a professional installation from a reliable cat flap fitter or handyman with the necessary skills and equipment.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN ALFRETON

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to fit your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing window or door panel, send them packing immediately. New cat flaps can not be mounted into pre-existing double glazed doors or window panels. Any type of double glazed unit will be damaged by drilling or cutting into it, and will detract from its thermal properties, security and strength. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it should never be done under any circumstances.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazing unit made specially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your local Alfreton cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current unit and order a brand new one. This new pane will have a pre-cut hole as part of its construction where your cat flap will be fitted. This might take a week or more to produce, however it is basically the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. Once your new pane of glass arrives, the fitter will take out the old one, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. It will now be possible to install your cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as stated previously, the simplest options for new cat flap installation in Alfreton. If you're unsure about making a hole in your door, it's it may be better to call an expert to undertake the project for you. This kind of project won't be too expensive and is really worth doing properly, if having your cat flap expertly installed provides you with that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be installed into uPVC doors in most cases. It is necessary to know the internal construction, since some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for further security. A one piece panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be cheaper to exchange this panel for a single pane model.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to cut a hole in your doors, for security or aesthetic reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed within an external wall. This sort of installment is undoubtedly better left to a specialist, since it calls for considerably more equipment and skill to accomplish. Most cat flap installations in walls involve a basic straight tunnel style, but right angle access through a pillar is also an option. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly cut into your selected wall. The cat flap you have chosen is then attached at both ends to allow your feline friend to come and go as it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Alfreton - If you already have a cat flap installed on your wall, door or window, but it is damaged or not working properly, the current hole can, with luck, still be used for installing a replacement. An expert Alfreton cat flap fitter will be glad to take out your old device and replace it with a new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the door, window or wall on which it's attached.

Before fitting a new flap in double glazing that has been pre-cut, making certain that the current glass has been cut and installed accurately is vital. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the glass must be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems with the new flap.
