Cat Flap Fitter Bawtry South Yorkshire (DN10): Fitting a cat flap to an external door or wall in your home in Bawtry, will allow it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of independence and freedom. Similar to people, when kept inside, cats will sometimes start to show signs of irritability and frustration. Having a cat that's both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main positive aspects of allowing your cat accessibility to world outside by way of a cat flap. Needless to say, that's not the whole story, since there are many forms of cat flap, and figuring out which design is best for you and your pet might not be so simple.
The most rudimentry sort of cat flap is essentially that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible bit of material placed over it, to keep out the elements, but permit the cat go through. The vast majority of cat owners in Bawtry would no doubt favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their home, although this may be appropriate for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This standard model can be to some degree improved on with magnetic strips to keep the flap in position, however it is still far from ideal as it allows other cats or animals to enter into your property.
The next step up from the magnetic strip version are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This requires your cat to use a collar that has either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased within it. No animal is going to be able to get into or leave your home unless it is fitted with one of these special collars. The drawback here is that any other cat in the Bawtry area that's got a similar model of collar will be able to get into your property with this sort of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some extent with an RF cat flap and collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier.
A cat flap that's capable of identifying your pet's own microchip, is the next stage in feline entrance security. You need to enter the details of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you have more than one pet it will take multiple entries. Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped animals, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is close by.

Regardless which cat flap you purchase, it should have the ability to be locked in place. Nowadays, most cat flaps on the market feature a four way locking mechanism for extra flexibility. This makes it possible for your cat flap to be locked fully, enable exit only, enable only entrance into your home, or have two way exit and entrance functionality. This offers full control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night. Some of the top-end devices can be set to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, in line with your cat's and your needs.
If you're fairly good at DIY, fitting your own cat flap shouldn't be all that difficult, as long as you've got a timber door on your Bawtry home. Although, if it needs to be fitted in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you shouldn't even attempt to tackle it yourself. Such situations require the expertise and skills of an experienced cat flap fitter or odd job man, who is sure to have have the tools and knowledge for this type of installation project.
INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BAWTRY
Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel, immediately send them packing. A new cat flap can't be mounted into a pre-existing double glazed door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazing will be damaged by drilling or cutting into it, and will take away its insulating attributes, strength and security. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make the double glazing unsound.
A specialist cat flap fitter will measure up your current double glazed unit and have a local Bawtry glazing firm make a new purpose made pane. As part of its structure this new double glazing panel will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This is really the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, even though it can take a week or so to manufacture. Once you have received your new modified glass panel, the old one can be removed and the new pane installed. The installing of the cat flap will then be undertaken.
Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid timber doors are, as we stated previously, the simplest alternatives for installing a new cat flap in Bawtry. If you're a bit unsure of making an opening in your back or front door, you might be happier bringing in an expert carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This should give you the satisfaction of knowing that you are going to wind up with an expertly installed cat friendly flap, and that the project has been accomplished in the right and proper way.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly feasible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. You will need to establish what the internal structure of you door actually is, because for added security certain uPVC doors are made with a galvanised steel lining. The models of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted type panel, it might be better to swap this for a single panel.
Wall Installation - It is also feasible to have a cat flap installed in an outside wall of your house in Bawtry, if you don't wish to have a hole cut in one of your doors, whether for safety or aesthetic reasons. Requiring far more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is definitely best left to a specialist, if it's to be completed successfully. There are a couple of possibilities for this sort of installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angular (through pillar) adaption. Installation involves a square shaped hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on both ends to permit your feline friend to come and go as it wishes.
Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Bawtry - If you already have a cat flap fitted on a window, wall or door, but it's broken or not operating correctly, the current hole can hopefully still be used for installing a replacement. A reliable cat flap installer in Bawtry will be capable of removing your unwanted cat flap, and fix a new one as a replacement without damaging the surrounding window, wall or door.
Before fitting the new cat flap in a double glazed pane which has been pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed correctly is crucial. The panel will have to be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems, if it becomes obvious that this isn't the case and corners were cut during the original installation.

A cat flap that is correctly weatherproofed prevents wind, rain and cold draughts from seeping into the house, ensuring a dry and warm environment for the feline.
