Cat Flap Fitter Blaydon

Cat Flap Fitter Blaydon Tyne and Wear (NE21): Fitting a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your house in Blaydon, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own bit of freedom and independence. Cats are very similar to humans in many ways, and will frequently start to show signs of frustration and unease if kept inside for long periods of time. Giving your furry friend access to the world outside by means of a cat flap can also help in keeping them physically and mentally fit. Of course, that isn't the end of the story, as there are many forms of cat flap, and figuring out which one is best for you and your cat might not be so easy.

The most rudimentry kind of cat flap is essentially that. A hole is cut in an external door and a flexible material is hung over it to give some protection from the elements. Of course, this is extremely basic, and will not be good enough for most cat owners in Blaydon, who would doubtless prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their home, although it may be acceptable for a shed door or fence panel.

This basic model can be marginally improved on with magnetic strips to hold the flap in position, however it is still far from ideal because it enables other cats or animals a means by which to get into your house.

The next step up from the magnetic strip style are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. In this case, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. This means that any animal that doesn't have a special collar cannot access or leave your home. The point that any other cat in the area that has a similar model of collar can easily access your property, is the drawback with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be improved to a certain degree with an RF cat flap and collar system containing a user programmed unique identifier.

Installing a cat flap which can identify your pet's micro-chip, is the next step-up in entrance security for felines. The number of your cat's microchip is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one pet). The flap will be unlocked anytime your cat is in close proximity, only permitting entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you must make sure that it is of a type that can be locked. Currently, the majority of cat flaps available on the market have a four way locking system for added flexibility. This means that the cat flap can be locked fully, enable exit from your premises only, permit entry into your home only, or be set for two way entry and exit. This gives you a variety of options on precisely how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night time. The facility to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your pet's requirements is also a possibility with some of the higher end models of cat flap.

If you're fairly decent at DIY, installing a cat flap should not be too much of a challenge, as long as you've got a solid wood door on your Blaydon home. On no account should you try to fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. This sort of installation calls for the attention of an expert, and there are specialist cat flap installers and skilled handymen who'll be ready to take on such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BLAYDON

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap is going to be installed in a double glazing panel, and your hired "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop them immediately and show them the gate. New cat flaps can't be installed into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Making holes in your double glazing damages not only the security and strength of the panel, but it removes the insulation properties too. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsound.

A specialist cat flap fitter will take measurements of the existing double glazed pane and have a glazing company make a new purpose made pane. So the cat flap can be nicely fitted into it, this new glazed panel will arrive with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure. This could take one or two weeks to produce, but it's the only way to install a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door. Once you have received your new panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new pane installed. The installation of your cat flap can then be completed.

External Wooden Doors - The most straightforward alternative for new cat flap installations in Blaydon, as was mentioned previously, are solid timber doors. If you are a bit uncomfortable with creating an opening in your front door, you might be better off contacting a professional handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This sort of project should not be expensive and will provide you with peace of mind that your pet will be climbing through a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly feasible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the interior construction, since some doors can have a steel lining for further security. The easiest kind of installation is in doors with one single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slatted panel for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or security reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of one of your doors, you could elect to install your cat flap into an exterior wall of your house. This kind of installment is definitely best left to the pros, as it calls for far more skill and equipment to accomplish. Most wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angled access via a pillar is also possible. With this type of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly cut into your wall. The cat flap you have chosen is then attached at both ends to allow your furry pal to come and go as it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Blaydon - If your wall, window or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it's possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A reputable cat flap fitter in Blaydon will be capable of removing your old,unwanted cat flap, and fit a new one as a replacement without causing damage to the surrounding wall, window or door.

If the new cat flap is going to be installed into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must double check that the glass has been manufactured, cut and installed accurately. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge up, the pane will need to be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety problems with the new flap.
