Cat Flap Fitter Barking Essex (IG11): The installation of a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your house in Barking, will allow it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of freedom and independence. Cats are inclined to get irritated and grumpy when kept inside, and not allowed to roam. Having a cat that is both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main positive aspects of giving your furry friend accessibility to world outside with a cat flap. Needless to say, that isn't the whole story, as there are many forms of cat flap, and figuring out what design is best for you and your pet isn't always simple.
The simplest sort of cat flap is basically that. A sheet of flexible material hung over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to pass through it, but keep out the elements. Obviously, this is very basic, and will rarely adequate for most cat owners in Barking, who would no doubt favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their home, although it might be appropriate for a shed or outhouse door.

This standard design is still a long way from being perfect because it allows other cats or creatures a way to get into your property, however it can be improved on a little by adding a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place.
Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a significant step up from the magnetic strip version. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar featuring an IR, RF chip or magnet. No animal will be able to leave or get into your home unless it's fitted with one of these special collars. Again this is a fairly simple type of cat flap, because any other moggy in the neighbourhood that's got a similar style of collar could perchance get into your property. Even these cat flaps can be improved to some degree with an RF cat flap and collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier.
Having a cat flap that can identify your cat's micro-chip, is the next step-up in access security for felines in Barking. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. Exit and entry can only be achieved by microchipped animals, and the flap is unlocked when you cat is nearby.

The ability to lock it in position is important whichever cat flap you are buying. Currently, most cat flaps on the market boast a 4-way locking mechanism for added security. This means that it's got the capability to allow exit only, permit only access into your house, be locked fully, or be put in 2-way exit and entry mode. This provides you with a variety of alternatives on how your cat flap works any time of the day and night. A few of the higher end models can be programmed to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, in keeping with yours and your cat's requirements.
If you've got a timber door in your house in Barking, fitting a cat flap yourself shouldn't be that hard. However, if it is going to be installed in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you shouldn't even attempt to tackle it by yourself. These types of fixtures require a professional installation by a reputable cat flap installer or carpenter with the necessary skills and equipment.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BARKING
Double Glazing Installations - If you employ someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to install your cat flap, stop them without delay and ask them to leave. A new cat flap can not be installed into an existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Making holes in your double glazing destroys not merely the security and strength of the glazing, but it compromises the thermal insulation attributes too. The double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it shouldn't be done in any circumstances whatsoever.
It will be necessary to get a new double glazing panel made especially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your local Barking cat flap installer will measure your existing panel and order the new one. So that the cat flap can be perfectly fitted into it, this new double glazed panel will arrive with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure. You might have to wait two weeks or so for this to be manufactured, however if it's necessary to have a cat flap installed into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is the only way to accomplish it. After construction, your old glass unit will be taken out, and the brand new one put in its place. Your cat flap will then be mounted.
External Wooden Doors - As previously mentioned, timber door panels are the simplest alternative when it comes to installing a new cat flap on your house in Barking. If you are nervous about cutting a hole in your front or back door, it's probably a good idea to bring in an expert to do the work for you. This will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you'll finish up with a professionally installed cat flap, and that the job has been undertaken properly and without causing damage to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. Having said that, some uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for extra security, which could cause issues. The easiest type of installation is in doors having one single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slats for a one-piece panel.
Wall Installation - It is also possible to have a cat flap fitted on an outside wall of your house in Barking, if you do not want to have a hole cut in one of your doors, whether for security or aesthetic reasons. This form of installment is certainly better left to the pros, since it requires considerably more equipment and skill to accomplish. You can go for a straight through tunnel style, or maybe a right angled version which enables entry through a pillar. Installation involves a neat square hole being cut through the wall of your choice, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted. The cat flap you have chosen is then mounted on either end to allow your cat to come in and out as it pleases.
Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Barking - If you've already got a cat flap installed on a door, window or wall, but it is damaged or not functioning correctly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, still be used for the installation of a replacement. Your cat flap installer should be able to take off the old cat flap, without harming the surrounding door, wall or window, and install a new flap in its place for your cat.
If the replacement cat flap is going to be installed in a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must make certain that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed correctly. The glass pane will have to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety problems, if it becomes obvious that this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the earlier installation.
