Cat Flap Fitter Bishop's Waltham

Cat Flap Fitter Bishop's Waltham Hampshire (SO32): Fitting a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your house in Bishop's Waltham, will enable it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of independence. When continuously kept inside, cats much like people, will get grumpy and irritated. When allowed quick access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your cat has a better chance of staying fit and healthy. If you opt to go with the cat flap option, your next decision will be what is the best type of cat flap.

The most straightforward type of cat flap, is just that. A hole in a door with a flexible piece of material hung over it, to give protection from the elements, but permit the cat go through. The majority of cat owners in Bishop's Waltham would no doubt favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their property, although this may be okay for a shed or outhouse door.

Since this solution allows other animals or cats to enter your property, it isn't at all ideal, although it can be improved on to some degree by holding the flap in place by adding magnetic strips.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be sewn into your cat's collar. What this means is that any animal that hasn't got one of these special collars cannot leave or get into your house. Once again this is a relatively simple kind of cat flap, as any other cat in the neighbourhood who's got a similar style of collar can easily gain access to your home. An improvement to this product is an RF cat flap/collar system which has a unique identifier which can be programmed by the pet's owner. Access is limited to your furry friend alone, delivering an additional layer of security and control.

The next stage in feline entry security is to use a cat flap which identifies your cat's microchip. The micro-chip number is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one cat). When your cat is close to the flap, it will unlock and permit only your microchipped pets to exit/enter.

The ability to lock it in place is important no matter what cat flap you're purchasing. For extra flexibility, most cat flaps have a four way locking mechanism these days. Which means that it's got the capability to permit exit only, permit only entry into your premises, be locked fully, or be put in two way entry and exit mode. This will give you a range of solutions on precisely how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night time. The facility to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with your pet's and your requirements is also a possibility with some of the more advanced brands of cat flap.

Fitting a cat flap by yourself can be fairly easy if you've got a solid wood door on your Bishop's Waltham house, and decent DIY capabilities. However, if it has to be fitted into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you should under no circumstances even attempt to tackle it yourself. Such situations require the expertise and skills of a specialist cat flap installer or odd job man, who'll have the tools and knowledge for this kind of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BISHOP'S WALTHAM

Double Glazing Installations - If you employ somebody who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your new cat flap, stop them without delay and ask them to leave. New cat flaps cannot be installed into pre-existing double glazed doors or window panels. Any type of double glazed unit will be damaged by cutting into it, and will detract from its security, thermal attributes and strength. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it should never be attempted under any circumstances whatsoever.

A professional cat flap fitter will measure up the existing double glazing unit and have a local Bishop's Waltham glazing firm make a new pane. So that your cat flap can be neatly fitted into it, this new double glazed panel will be provided with a pre-cut hole as a part of its construction. This may take a week or two to manufacture, but it is really the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. After construction, your old glass panel will be removed, and the new modified one put in. The fitting of your cat flap will then be carried out.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid wood doors are, as stated earlier, the simplest alternatives for cat flap installation in Bishop's Waltham. If you are unsure of making a hole in your back or front door, it's advisable to call an expert to undertake the project for you. This type of project will not be all that expensive and is well worth doing correctly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional provides you with that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be often be fitted with a cat flap. You or your fitter will have to find out what the internal structure of you door is, since for additional security some uPVC door panels are manufactured with a steel lining. The simplest type of cat flap installation is in doors with one single panel, subsequently if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be easier and cheaper in the long run to replace the slats with a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for safety or aesthetic reasons, you don't want to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could always choose to install the cat flap into an outside wall of your property. Needing considerably more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is definitely better left to a specialist, if it is to be executed correctly. There are a couple of options for this sort of installation, including a straight through tunnel design, or a right angular (through pillar) configuration. A neat square hole will need to be made through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, open ended square tube. A cat flap can then be fitted to both sides of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Bishop's Waltham - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap installed, but it is not working, or is damaged, it's quite possible to mount a replacement over the existing cavity. A decent cat flap fitter in Bishop's Waltham will be able to remove the old cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the door, window or wall.

Before fitting the new cat flap in double glazing that has been pre-cut, checking that the current glass has been made and installed in the right way is crucial. The panel will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues, if it's found that this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
