Cat Flap Fitter Ayr

Cat Flap Fitter Ayr Scotland (KA6 and KA7): Fitting a cat flap to an external wall or door in your home in Ayr, will allow it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own bit of independence. Cats tend to get crabby and irritated when constantly kept indoors, and not allowed to roam. Having easy access to world outside by means of a cat flap will help your cat to remain fit, both mentally and physically. So, you think it's a good idea, but what is best style of cat flap for your beloved pet?

A cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A bit of flexible material placed over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to go through, but keep out the elements. While this might be acceptable in a shed door or fence panel, most Ayr cat owners would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their home.

This standard model can be improved on with magnetic strips to hold the flap in position, but it's still a long way from being perfect as it allows other animals or cats a means by which to enter into your home.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a significant step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. This involves your cat wearing a collar which has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased inside it. This means that any animal that doesn't have one of these special collars cannot leave or access your home. The point that any other cat in the area who has a similar style of collar could perchance access your property, is the drawback with this still fairly basic kind of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap and collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier.

Choosing a cat flap which can identify your cat's microchip, is the next level in entrance gadgets for felines. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to give exclusive access. Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it will unlock and allow solely your microchipped pets to enter/exit.

Being able to lock it in place is vital regardless which cat flap you're buying. Currently, most cat flaps available on the market boast a 4-way locking system for extra security. Which means that the cat flap can allow entrance into your premises only, permit exit only, be fully locked, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This provides you with choices for all times of night and day, to control exactly how your cat flap operates. A few of the top-end cat flaps can be set to perform specific functions according to the time of day, in keeping with yours and your pet's requirements.

If you have a wooden door in your house in Ayr, installing you own cat flap shouldn't be that hard. But, if you are looking to install it in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door, you should ask for outside assistance. Such situations require the skills and expertise of an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, who is sure to have have all the knowledge and tools for this type of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN AYR

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire somebody who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. It is simply not possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Making holes in the double glazing destroys not merely the strength and security of the glazing, but it compromises the insulating properties too. The double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should not be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

A trustworthy Ayr cat flap installer will carefully take the measurements of your existing panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing supplier. As part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be fitted snugly into. This is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, although it might take a week or more to manufacture. Once your new glass panel arrives, the fitter will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" pane. The fitting of the cat flap will then be carried out.

External Wooden Doors - As mentioned earlier in this article, solid timber door panels are the easiest option when it comes to cat flap installation on your house in Ayr. It is often safer to employ the expert services of a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, if you're at all dubious about making a hole in your back or front door. This will give you the peace of mind that you'll finish up with an expertly installed cat friendly flap, and that the project has been accomplished correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in most cases. You or your installer will have to verify what the interior construction of you door is, because for extra security some uPVC door panels are made with a galvanised steel lining. A one-piece door panel enables simpler installation, so if you have a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be more economical to swap the panel for a single pane style.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to cut holes in your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you can get a cat flap installed in an external wall. Needing a lot more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is undoubtedly best left to the pros, if it's to be executed correctly. You can choose a straight through tunnel style, or maybe a right angled model which allows access through a pillar. A neat square shaped hole will be cut through your selected wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on either end to enable your furry pal to come in and out as it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Ayr - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either damaged or not working properly, the current hole in your window, door or wall can be used for a replacement so long as the new flap is of a comparable size. An expert Ayr cat flap installer will be glad to take out your old device and replace it with a brand new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the door, wall or window on which it is mounted.

Before attaching the new cat flap in a double glazing panel that has been previously pre-cut, confirming that the existing glass has been made, cut and installed correctly is crucial. If it's found that this is not the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass must be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues.
