Cat Flap Fitter Bidford-on-Avon Warwickshire (B50): The installation of a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your house in Bidford-on-Avon, will allow it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of independence. Cats are like humans in many ways, and will sometimes show signs of irritability and frustration if kept inside for long periods of time. Having a cat that's both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main benefits of giving your pet accessibility to world outside by means of a cat flap. So, you think it's a good idea, but exactly what is best kind of cat flap for your pet?
The most straightforward sort of cat flap, is simply that. A hole in a door with a flexible sheet of material placed over it, to give protection from the elements, but permit the cat pass through it. The majority of cat owners in Bidford-on-Avon would no doubt prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their property, although this might be acceptable for a shed or outhouse door.
This basic design is still a long way off being perfect because it allows other cats or creatures a way to enter into your house, but it can be improved on a little with the addition of magnetic strips to keep the flap in position.
Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip version. This requires your cat to wear a collar that has either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased inside it. Unless an animal is equipped with one of these special collars, it won't be able to open the flap and leave or get into your property, hence avoiding some unwelcome visitors. The downside is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that's got a similar collar will be able to access your property with this kind of cat flap. An improvement to this device is a RF cat flap/collar system which contains a unique identifier that can be programmed by the householder.
The type of cat flap that is able to identify your pet's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in feline access security. The number of your cat's micro-chip is entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one pet). Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to enter or exit.
Being able to lock it in position is important no matter which cat flap you are purchasing. Most cat flaps sold these days feature a 4-way locking system. This allows your cat flap to permit only access into your house, permit only exit from your home, be locked fully, or have 2-way entry and exit functionality. This offers complete control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night. In line with yours and your pet's requirements, there is even the possibility to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with several of the higher end devices.
If you're pretty decent at DIY, fitting a cat flap should not be that difficult, as long as you have a solid timber door on your house in Bidford-on-Avon. Under no circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These situations require the skills and expertise of an experienced cat flap fitter or odd job man, who'll have the tools and knowledge for this sort of installation.
INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BIDFORD-ON-AVON
Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazing panel, immediately send them packing. It is simply not possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazing window pane or door panel. Cutting into any sort of double glazing will ruin its strength and security, together with its insulating attributes. Your double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should never be done in any circumstances whatsoever.
A reputable Bidford-on-Avon cat flap installer will diligently take the measurements of your current panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing supplier. To ensure that your cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new double glazed unit will be provided with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its construction. This is basically the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, although it may take a week or two to manufacture. After fabrication, your old glass pane will be removed, and the new modified one put in its place. The installing of the cat flap will then be concluded.
Exterior Wooden Doors - The simplest option for cat flap installations in Bidford-on-Avon, as was mentioned previously, are wooden door panels. If you are a bit nervous about cutting a hole in your door, you might be happier bringing in an experienced cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This sort of undertaking will not be too expensive and is worthwhile doing correctly, if having your cat flap professionally installed offers you that added peace of mind.
uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be often be fitted with a cat flap. You or your installer will have to verify what the internal structure of you door is, because for additional security some uPVC door panels are made with a reinforced steel lining. A one piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be more cost effective to replace the panel with a single panel style.
Wall Installation - It is also a possibility to get a cat flap installed on an outside wall of your property in Bidford-on-Avon, if you don't wish to cut holes in your doors, for security or aesthetic reasons. Needing much more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap install is definitely best left to a professional, if it's to be completed correctly. There are several choices for this type of installation, including a straightforward design, or a right angled (through pillar) configuration. Installation calls for a square hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted. A cat flap can then be fitted to each end of the hole.
Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Bidford-on-Avon - If you already have a cat flap fitted on a wall, door or window, but it's broken or not working properly, the current hole can, with luck, be re-used for the installation of a new one. A specialist Bidford-on-Avon cat flap fitter will gladly remove your old entry unit and replace it with a fresh cat flap without causing any damage to the wall, window or door on which it is mounted.
If the replacement cat flap is going to be installed in a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, you must check that the existing glass has been fabricated, cut and installed accurately. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the pane will have to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues with the new cat flap.
