Cat Flap Fitter Bingley

Cat Flap Fitter Bingley West Yorkshire (BD16): To allow your cat the independence and freedom that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Bingley home. When constantly kept indoors, cats as with people, will get irritated and crabby. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main benefits of giving your pet accessibility to world outside by way of a cat flap. However, what form of cat flap is better in your case?

The simplest style of cat flap is essentially that. A hole is cut in an outside door and a bendable material is placed over it to offer a bit of some protection from the elements. Although this might be suitable for a garden fence panel or outhouse door, the majority of cat owners in Bingley would doubtless prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their property.

This uncomplicated design is still a long way off being perfect as it allows other cats or creatures to enter your property, but it can be improved on to some degree with the addition of a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip version. In this case, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. What this means is that any animal that doesn't have one of these special collars can't leave or get into your home. The drawback here is that any other cat in the Bingley area that's got a similar model of collar can easily get into your property with this sort of cat flap fitted. An improvement to this product is a RF cat flap/collar system which offers a unique identifier which can be programmed by the user. An extra layer of security and control is achieved, guaranteeing that only your furry friend gains access.

The next step-up in feline entry security is to fit a model of cat flap which recognises your cat's micro-chip. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you have several cats), to give exclusive access. The flap is unlocked when your cat is nearby, only permitting entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.

Being able to lock it in place is essential regardless of what cat flap you are purchasing. Currently, most cat flaps available on the market boast a 4-way locking mechanism for added flexibility. Which means it's got the capability to permit admittance into your property only, be locked fully, permit only exit from your home, or be put in two-way exit and entry mode. This offers you choices for all times of day and night, to have control over precisely how your cat flap operates. In keeping with your pet's and your needs, there's even the option to carry out different functions according to the time of day, with a number of the higher end devices.

Installing a cat flap by yourself can be really straightforward if you have a solid wood door on your Bingley home, and decent DIY skills. But, if you're hoping to install it into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should seek outside assistance. Such situations require the skills and expertise of an experienced cat flap fitter or odd job man, who'll have all the knowledge and tools for this type of installation.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BINGLEY

Double Glazing Installations - If you hire someone who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your new cat flap, stop them without delay and ask them to leave. New cat flaps can not be installed into pre-existing double glazed doors or window panels. Drilling or cutting into any kind of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, together with its insulation properties. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsound.

A specialist cat flap fitter will take measurements of your current double glazing unit and have a local Bingley glazing company make a new pane. As part of its construction this new glazed panel will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed neatly into. This is basically the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, even though it might take two weeks or so to produce. Once you've acquired your new glass pane, the old unit can be removed and the new panel fitted. The cat flap can then be mounted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The most straightforward alternative for new cat flap installations in Bingley, as was mentioned earlier in this article, are timber door panels. If you're somewhat unsure about making an opening in your front door, you might be happier hiring a professional handyman or cat flap fitter instead. A project like this is relatively inexpensive and will provide you with the assurance of knowing that your cat can enjoy a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally be fitted into uPVC doors. It pays to know the interior construction, as some uPVC doors are lined with steel for added security. A one-piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you have a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be more economical to exchange this panel for a single panel type.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you don't want to have a chunk cut out of one of your doors, you could opt to install your cat flap in an outside wall of your property in Bingley. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires a little more skill and equipment to fit, therefore it's certainly better left to a professional. You'll find there are a couple of choices for this installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angular (through pillar) style. This installation involves a square shaped hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted. Each end of the hole is then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so your feline friend can get out of and into your house whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Bingley - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap fitted, but it has stopped working, or is damaged, it's possible to mount a replacement over the existing hole. A trustworthy cat flap fitter in Bingley will be able to remove your old,unwanted cat flap, and fit a new one in its place without damaging the door, window or wall.

Before attaching the new cat flap in a double glazed pane that has been previously pre-cut, confirming that the current glass has been cut and installed correctly is vital. The panel must be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues, if you discover that this isn't the case and corners were cut during the original installation.
