Cat Flap Fitter Birkenhead

Cat Flap Fitter Birkenhead Merseyside (CH41): To allow your cat the independence it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Birkenhead home. Cats which are kept inside, much like humans, will show signs of frustration. When permitted instant access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your precious cat has a much better chance of staying healthy and strong. If you opt to go with the cat flap option, you'll then have to determine what kind of cat flap would be best for you.

The most fundamental form of cat flap, is just that. A bit of flexible material fixed over a hole in a doorway to permit a cat to go through, but keep the elements out. Of course, this is extremely basic, and will not be sufficient for most cat owners in Birkenhead, who would no doubt prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their house, although it may be suitable for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.

This simple design is still far from perfect since it allows other animals or cats to get into your property, but it can be improved upon by adding magnetic strips to keep the flap in place.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap, are a significant step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar fitted with an RF chip, IR or magnet. What this means is that any animal without one of these special collars can't leave or access your home. The drawback is that any other moggy in the Birkenhead area that has a similar style of collar could possible gain access to your property with this kind of cat flap. An enhancement to this device is an RF cat flap and collar system which has a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat owner.

Choosing a cat flap which can be operated by your pet's microchip, is the next step-up in access gadgets for felines. The details of your cat's micro-chip are entered into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you have more than one pet). The flap is unlocked whenever your cat is in the vicinity, only permitting exit or entry to pets that have a micro-chip.

No matter which cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in place. For extra security, the majority of cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism these days. This means that the cat flap can enable only access into your premises, permit exit from your property only, be fully locked, or be set for 2-way entry and exit. This offers you a number of choices on exactly how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night. In line with yours and your pet's requirements, there is even the possibility to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, with a few of the more expensive models.

If you're pretty decent at DIY, fitting your own cat flap should not be too difficult, as long as you have a solid wood door on your Birkenhead home. Although, if it needs to be installed into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt it on your own. These situations call for the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or carpenter, who is certain to have have the tools and knowledge for this kind of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BIRKENHEAD

Double Glazing Installation - If your cat flap has to be installed in a double glazing panel, and your chosen "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the job right away and give them the boot. New cat flaps cannot be mounted into existing double glazing doors or window panels. Cutting or drilling into any type of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, as well as its thermal attributes. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

An experienced cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current double glazed unit and have a local Birkenhead glazing company make a new purpose made one. To ensure that your cat flap can be perfectly installed into it, this new glazed unit will be provided with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its construction. This is the only way to install a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it can take a couple of weeks to produce. After construction, your old glass can be removed, and the new one put in its place. It's now possible to fit the new cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - The most straightforward alternative for installing a new cat flap in Birkenhead, as was stated earlier in this article, are wooden door panels. It is normally best to contact an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you're at all dubious about making a big hole in your front or back door. This type of task won't be all that expensive and is well worth doing properly, if getting your cat flap professionally installed offers you that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can usually be fitted into uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the interior construction, since some door panels are lined with steel for added security. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the easiest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted type door panel, it may be advisable to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - It is also possible to get a cat flap mounted on an outside wall of your property in Birkenhead, if you don't wish to cut holes in your doors, either for security or aesthetic reasons. A cat flap entrance in a wall calls for a bit more skill and equipment to install, so it's definitely best left to a specialist. You could opt for a straight through tunnel style, or perhaps a right angle version which permits entry via a pillar. A neat square hole will need to be cut through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, open ended square tube. A cat flap is then mounted on both ends of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Birkenhead - If your door, window or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it is perfectly possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A trustworthy cat flap installer in Birkenhead will be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, and mount a new one in its place without harming the surrounding window, wall or door.

When your installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it is essential to check that this was previously done correctly, before attaching the new flap. The glass panel must be removed and substituted to avoid any safety and security issues, if you discover that this isn't the case and corners were cut during the earlier installation.
