Cat Flap Fitter Aylesford

Cat Flap Fitter Aylesford Kent (ME20): Installing a cat flap doesn't just save you the hassle of opening the door every time your cat needs to stroll out or in, it also affords your cat more independence and improves it's overall quality of life. Similar to humans, when kept indoors for long periods of time, cats will typically show signs of frustration and anxiety. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main positive aspects of giving your pet easy access to world outside by way of a cat flap. If this sounds like a great idea to you, precisely what form of cat flap should you install?

The simplest type of cat flap is basically that. A sheet of bendable material hung over a hole in a door to allow a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. Though this may be suitable for a fence panel or shed door, most Aylesford cat owners would no doubt favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their home.

This simple design can be marginally improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, however it is still a long way from being perfect since it allows other cats or animals a means by which to enter into your property.

The next step up from the magnetic strip version are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar fitted with a magnet, IR or RF chip. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it won't be able to open the flap and leave or get into your home, hence keeping out some unwelcome visitors. Again this is a fairly simple form of cat flap, as any other cat in the area who's got a similar style of collar can easily get into your home. Even these cat flaps can be improved to a certain degree with an RF cat flap/collar system containing a user programmed unique identifier.

A cat flap which is can be triggered by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next stage in feline entry security. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. The flap is unfastened anytime your cat is nearby, only permitting entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.

No matter what cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in place. Nowadays, the majority of cat flaps on the market have a 4-way locking mechanism for extra flexibility. This means that it has the capability to be fully locked, allow exit from your premises only, permit only entrance into your home, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This offers you a variety of alternatives on exactly how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night. Some of the higher end cat flaps can be set to perform specific functions according to the time of day, in keeping with your cat's and your needs.

Fitting a cat flap yourself can be quite easy if you have a solid wood door, and decent do-it-yourself capabilities. But, if you're hoping to install it into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you must seek outside assistance. These situations require the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or odd job man, who will have the knowledge and tools for this kind of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN AYLESFORD

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to employ somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your new cat flap, stop them without delay and request that they leave. New cat flaps can't be fitted into pre-existing double glazing window or door panels. Any sort of double glazed unit will be damaged by drilling or cutting into it, and will detract from its security, strength and thermal attributes. Actually, it renders your glazing unsound and it shouldn't ever be done.

A reliable Aylesford cat flap installer will meticulously take the measurements of your current pane and order a custom-made one from a local glazing company. So your cat flap can be neatly fitted into it, this new glazed pane will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its structure. You might have a 1 or 2 week wait for this special pane to be manufactured, but if you need a cat flap installed into an existing double glazed or patio door, this is really the only way to do it. Once your new glass panel is delivered, the fitter will remove the old unit, and replace it with the new "cat flap ready" one. The installing of the cat flap will then be undertaken.

External Wooden Doors - Timber door panels are, as I mentioned above, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Aylesford. It's normally better to bring in a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you are in any way uncertain about cutting a big hole in your front or back door. This will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that you will end up with a professionally fitted cat flap, and that the job has been done correctly and without causing damage to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can normally be installed into uPVC doors. You will have to find out what the interior structure of you door actually is, since for added security certain uPVC door panels are made with a steel lining. A one piece door panel allows for simpler installation, so if you have a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be more economical to exchange this panel for a single panel style.

Wall Installation - If you don't want to have a hole cut in your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons, you can have a cat flap installed within an external wall. This type of installation is certainly best left to a professional, because it requires a lot more equipment and skill to execute. You could go for a straightforward tunnel style, or maybe a right angle model which allows access via a pillar. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly cut into your selected wall. A cat flap of your choice is then attached at both ends to enable your furry pal to exit and enter as it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Aylesford - If your door, window or wall already has a cat flap fitted, but it isn't working properly, or is damaged, it is perfectly possible to mount a replacement over the existing hole. A professional Aylesford cat flap installer will gladly take out your old entry unit and replace it with a fresh cat flap without inflicting any damage on the window, wall or door on which it is secured.

When the installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it is necessary to make certain that this was previously done correctly, before fixing the new flap. If the previous installation was a bodge up, the pane will need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues with the new cat flap.
