Cat Flap Fitter Bexleyheath

Cat Flap Fitter Bexleyheath Greater London (DA6): An effective way to give your cat more independence and boost it's quality of life is to install a cat flap on an external wall or door of your house in Bexleyheath. Cats that are kept inside, just like humans, can show signs of irritation. Giving your cat accessibility to outside world by way of a cat flap can help keep them physically and mentally fit. So, you are sold on the idea, but what is perfect kind of cat flap for your pet?

The simplest type of cat flap is essentially that. A piece of flexible material fixed over a hole in a door to enable a cat to pass through it, but keep the elements out. Obviously, this is really basic, and will rarely adequate for most cat owners in Bexleyheath, who would doubtless favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although it might be okay for an outhouse or shed door.

This simple model is still a long way from being perfect as it allows other cats or animals a way to enter into your property, but it can be improved on slightly with the addition of a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip version. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be sewn into your cat's collar. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your property unless it's equipped with this special collar. Again this is a fairly simple type of cat flap, given that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that's got a similar style of collar might be able to gain access to your property. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these devices as they can be programmed by the home owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

A cat flap which is can be triggered by your pet's microchip, is the next step-up in Bexleyheath 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. Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped pets, and the flap is unfastened whenever you cat is nearby.

Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you should make certain it is of a design that can be locked. Most cat flaps sold these days boast a four way locking mechanism. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, permit exit from your home only, permit entrance into your premises only, or have 2-way exit and entry capability. This gives you a number of choices on exactly how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night. In keeping with your pet's and your needs, there is even the possibility to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, with several of the top-end devices.

If you've got a timber door on your home in Bexleyheath, fitting you own cat flap shouldn't be all that complicated. Although, if it is going to be installed into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt to tackle it on your own. These types of fittings call for a professional installation by a dependable cat flap fitter or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BEXLEYHEATH

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, immediately send them on their way. New cat flaps cannot be mounted into pre-existing double glazed doors or window panels. Drilling holes in any kind of double glazing will destroy its strength and security, as well as its thermal insulation attributes. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsound.

It is necessary to get a new double glazed panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Bexleyheath cat flap fitter will measure your existing unit and put in an order for the new one. As an integral part of its construction this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed nicely into. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, although it can take a week or more to manufacture. As soon as your new panel of glass is delivered, the installer will take out the old unit, and swap it for the new "cat flap ready" pane. The installation of your cat flap will then be carried out.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The least complicated option for installing a new cat flap in Bexleyheath, as was stated earlier, are solid timber doors. If you are uncertain about making a hole in your door, it's a good move to contact a professional to undertake the project for you. This sort of project will not be expensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your cat will be climbing through a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be suitable for installing a cat flap. It is necessary to know the internal construction, because some door panels can have a steel lining for extra security. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the best for cat flap installation, so if yours has got a slatted style door panel, it may be easier to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either safety or aesthetic reasons, you don't want to have a hole cut into a door, you could decide to install a cat flap in an exterior wall of your home. A wall cat flap entrance requires a little more equipment and expertise to fit, so it's certainly best left to a specialist. Most wall cat flap installations are a basic straight tunnelled style, but right angle access through a pillar is also a possibility. Installation involves a square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted. A cat flap of your choice can then be attached at either end to permit your feline friend to exit and enter as it pleases.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Bexleyheath - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap fitted, but it's not working properly, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. Your cat flap fitter will remove the unwanted cat flap, without damaging the door, window or wall, and install a brand new flap for your cat.

Before fitting a new flap in a double glazing pane which has been previously pre-cut, making certain that the current glass has been cut and installed correctly is vital. If it's found this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass unit will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.
