Cat Flap Fitter Berkhamsted

Cat Flap Fitter Berkhamsted Hertfordshire (HP4): Fitting a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Berkhamsted house provides your cat with the independence and freedom it needs to live a life of contentment. When kept indoors, cats as with humans, will get grumpy and irritated. Giving your cat access to the world outside with a cat flap can also help in keeping them physically and mentally fit. So, you think it's a great idea, but which is best kind of cat flap for your precious pet?

The most straightforward form of cat flap, is merely that. A hole is cut into an outside door and a bendable material is placed over the gap to offer a bit of protection from the weather. Of course, this is very basic, and won't be good enough for most Berkhamsted cat owners, who would prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their home, although it may be okay for a shed door or garden fence panel.

Because this option will allow other cats or creatures to enter your house, it isn't at all recommended, though it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in place with the addition of a magnetic strip.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap. This involves your cat wearing a collar that's got either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased within it. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it won't be able to trigger the flap and get into or leave your house, hence preventing some unwelcome visitors. The drawback here is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that's got a similar model of collar could perchance get into your home when using this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to a certain degree with an RF cat flap and collar system containing an owner programmed unique identifier.

The next stage in feline entrance security is to install the type of cat flap that recognises your cat's own micro-chip. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you've got more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. The flap will be unfastened when your cat is close-by, only allowing access to animals that have a micro-chip.

When you're buying a cat flap, you should make sure it's of a design that can be locked into position. For added flexibility, almost all cat flaps boast a four way locking system nowadays. This means that the cat flap can permit only entrance into your property, be fully locked, enable exit from your property only, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This provides total control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night time. In line with yours and your cat's requirements, there's even the option to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, with several of the high end devices.

If you're pretty good at DIY, putting in your own cat flap shouldn't be too difficult, as long as you've got a timber door on your Berkhamsted home. Under no circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door. Such situations call for the expertise and skills of a reputable cat flap fitter or odd job man, who is certain to have have all the tools and knowledge for this type of installation.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BERKHAMSTED

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, immediately send them on their way. A new cat flap can not be mounted into an existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Drilling or cutting into any kind of double glazing will destroy its security and strength, together with its insulating properties. In reality, it renders the glazing unsound and it should not ever be done.

A professional cat flap installer will take measurements of your current double glazing unit and have a local glazing firm knock up a new purpose made pane. To ensure that the cat flap can be snugly fitted into it, this new double glazing pane will be provided with a hole pre-cut as part of its construction. This may take one or two weeks to manufacture, but it's basically the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. When your new glass pane arrives, the installer will take out the old one, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" one. The cat flap will then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The easiest option for new cat flap installations in Berkhamsted, as was stated earlier, are solid wooden doors. If you are nervous about making a hole in your front door, it's probably a good idea to bring in a professional to undertake the project for you. This type of project should not be expensive and will provide you with the assurance of knowing that your pet can enjoy an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be suitable for installing a cat flap. Nonetheless, certain uPVC doors are steel lined for extra security, which may cause some problems. A one-piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it might be more cost effective to swap the panel for a single panel model.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or safety reasons, you don't want to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could opt to install a cat flap into an exterior wall of your home. This sort of installment is certainly better left to an expert, since it requires a lot more skill and equipment to execute. You can opt for a straightforward tunnel style, or perhaps a right angle model which allows access through a pillar. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted into a square hole cut out of your specified wall. An appropriate cat flap can then be installed on both sides of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Berkhamsted - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either damaged or not functioning correctly, the existing hole in your window, wall or door can still be used providing the new flap is of an equivalent size. Your cat flap fitter will take off the old cat flap, without damaging the window, door or wall, and fit a brand new flap for your cat.

Before fitting a new flap in double glazing which has been pre-cut, making certain that the current glass has been manufactured and installed correctly is vital. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge up, the panel will need to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems with the new flap.
