Cat Flap Fitter Armthorpe South Yorkshire (DN3): A good way to enhance your cat's independence and improve it's overally quality of life is to fit a cat flap on an external wall or door of your property in Armthorpe. In a similar vein to people, when kept indoors for long periods of time, cats will typically start to show signs of irritability and frustration. Allowing your furry friend accessibility to world outside via a cat flap can also help in keeping them physically and mentally fit. But what style of cat flap is the best solution in your case?
The most straightforward style of cat flap, is simply that. A hole is cut in a door and a flexible material is fixed over it to give protection from the elements. Obviously, this is very basic, and will rarely good enough for most Armthorpe cat owners, who would favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their property, although it may be acceptable for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

Since this solution permits other creatures or cats to enter your property, it is not at all recommended, though it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in position with the addition of a magnetic strip.
Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are the next step up from the basic magnetic strip version. This requires your cat to use a collar which has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased within it. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will not be able to open the flap and leave or get into your home, thus avoiding some undesirable visitors. The drawback here is that any other cat in the Armthorpe area that has a similar style of collar could possible gain access to your home with this kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of this equipment because they can be programmed by the user to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet.
Having a cat flap which can identify your pet's own microchip, is the next level in entry security for felines in Armthorpe. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. When your cat passes close to the flap, it will unlock and permit only your microchipped pets to enter/exit.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you should ensure that it's of a type that can be locked into position. Most cat flaps sold currently boast a four way locking system. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit exit from your house only, be fully locked, permit entrance into your property only, or have two way exit and entrance capability. This offers you choices for all times of night and day, to have control over exactly how your cat flap functions. Some top-end cat flaps can be set to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, in line with yours and your pet's requirements.
If you're pretty good at do-it-yourself, putting in your own cat flap shouldn't be all that difficult, as long as you have a solid wood door on your Armthorpe home. However, if it needs to be installed into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you shouldn't even attempt it yourself. These situations call for the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, who is sure to have have all the tools and knowledge for this sort of installation.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN ARMTHORPE
Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap has to be fitted into a double glazing door or window panel, and your chosen "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and give them their marching orders. New cat flaps can not be mounted into existing double glazed window or door panels. Making a hole in the double glazing destroys not just the security and strength of the panel, but it removes the insulating attributes as well. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsound.
It is necessary to obtain a new double glazed unit made specially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your chosen Armthorpe cat flap installer will measure your current unit and put in an order for a brand new one. As part of its structure this new double glazing pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed perfectly into. This is really the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, although it may take two weeks or so to produce. Once your new panel of glass arrives, the installer will remove the old one, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. Your cat flap will then be fitted.
External Wooden Doors - Wooden door panels are, as mentioned above, the simplest alternatives for new cat flap installation in Armthorpe. If you are hesitant about cutting a hole in your front door, it's advisable to call in a professional to do the work for you. This sort of task won't be too expensive and is worthwhile doing correctly, if having your cat flap expertly installed offers you that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be used for installing a cat flap. Nonetheless, certain uPVC door panels have a steel lining for further security, which could cause problems. A one-piece panel allows for easier installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it might be less expensive to replace the panel with a single panel style.
Wall Installation - If you do not really wish to cut a hole in your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed in an outside wall. This kind of installation is undoubtedly best left to the pros, since it calls for considerably more equipment and skill to execute. You can go with a straight through tunnel style, or even a right angled version that enables entry through a pillar. A square shaped hole will have to be cut through your selected wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, open ended square tube. An appropriate cat flap can then be fitted to both sides of the hole.
Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Armthorpe - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap installed, but it is not working properly, or is damaged, it is perfectly possible to fit a replacement into the existing hole. A trustworthy cat flap installer in Armthorpe will be capable of removing the old,unwanted cat flap, and mount a brand new one as a replacement without damaging the surrounding wall, window or door.
If the replacement cat flap is to be installed into a pre cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must make sure that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed in the right way. The glass panel will have to be taken out and substituted to avoid any safety and security problems, if you discover that this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the earlier installation.
