Cat Flap Fitter Biggin Hill

Cat Flap Fitter Biggin Hill Kent (TN16): Installing a cat flap doesn't only save you the inconvenience of opening the door every time the cat chooses to stroll out or in, it also affords your cat more independence and improves it's quality of life. When constantly kept indoors, cats as with people, will get irritated and grouchy. When allowed instant access to the outside world with a cat flap, your pet has a better chance of staying healthy and strong. However, what style of cat flap is the best solution for your circumstances?

The most rudimentry kind of cat flap is essentially that. A bit of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to permit a cat to pass through it, but keep the elements out. Obviously, this is very basic, and will rarely sufficient for most Biggin Hill cat owners, who would no doubt favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their home, although it could be acceptable for a fence panel or shed door.

This standard model is still a long way off being perfect as it allows other animals or cats a means by which to enter into your home, however it can be improved on with the addition of magnetic strips to keep the flap in position.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap. This requires your cat to have a collar which has either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased within it. What this means is that any animal that doesn't have one of these special collars can't access or leave your property. Once again this is a fairly basic type of cat flap, as any other moggy in the neighbourhood that has a similar model of collar could perchance gain access to your property. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some extent with an RF cat flap/collar system having an owner programmed unique identifier.

The next step-up in feline entrance security is to use a model of cat flap that identifies your pet's microchip. The microchip details are programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you have more than one pet). Exit and entry can only be accomplished by microchipped pets, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is in close proximity.

Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you must make sure that it's of a design that can be locked. Most cat flaps sold these days have a 4-way locking mechanism. This allows your cat flap to be locked fully, permit exit from your house only, enable entry into your premises only, or have 2-way exit and entry capability. This offers complete control over how your cat flap operates both during the day and throughout the night. A few higher end cat flaps can be programmed to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, based on yours and your cat's needs.

If you are fairly good at do-it-yourself, installing a cat flap should not be that difficult, if you've got a solid timber door on your Biggin Hill home. Although, if it is going to be installed in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should not even attempt to tackle it by yourself. These situations require the expertise and skills of a professional cat flap fitter or odd job man, who'll have the tools and knowledge for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BIGGIN HILL

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ someone who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your cat flap, stop them at once and request that they leave. A new cat flap can't be installed into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any type of double glazing will be damaged by cutting into it, and will damage its insulating attributes, security and strength. In fact, it makes the glazing unsound and it should never be done.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazing unit made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Biggin Hill cat flap installer will take the measurements of your existing unit and order the new one. As a part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be fitted perfectly into. You may have to wait one or two weeks for this special pane to be produced, but if you want a cat flap installed into an existing patio or double glazed door, this is really the only way to do it. Once you've obtained your new adapted glass pane, the old unit can be taken out and the new one fitted. Your cat flap can then be mounted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The easiest option for cat flap installations in Biggin Hill, as was stated earlier, are wooden door panels. If you're dubious about cutting a hole in your back or front door, it's wise to call in an expert to undertake the project for you. This should give you the satisfaction of knowing that you will end up with an expertly fitted cat friendly flap, and that the job has been completed correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite possible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You or your installer will need to establish what the internal structure of you door is, since for extra security certain uPVC door panels are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted style door panel, it may be better to replace this with a single pane.

Wall Installation - It's also a possibility to get a cat flap mounted on an external wall of your house in Biggin Hill, if you don't wish to cut chunks out of your doors, either for aesthetic or safety reasons. This kind of installation is undoubtedly better left to a professional, since it calls for a lot more equipment and skill to accomplish. You can go for a straight-through tunnel design, or even a right angled model that permits entry through a pillar. This installation calls for a neat square shaped hole being made through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted. An appropriate cat flap can then be fitted to both sides of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Biggin Hill - If you've already got a cat flap installed on a window, wall or door, but it's broken or not operating properly, the existing hole can, with luck, be re-used for installing a new one. A good cat flap fitter in Biggin Hill will be capable of removing the unwanted cat flap, and fit a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the window, wall or door.

If the new cat flap is being installed into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must ensure that the glass has been made and installed in the right way. If it's discovered that the previous installation was a bodge up, the pane will need to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues with the new cat flap.
