Cat Flap Fitter Bonnybridge Scotland (FK4): Fitting a cat flap doesn't only save you the headache of opening the door every time the cat decides to stroll in or out, it also gives your cat extra independence and boosts it's quality of life. Cats are similar to people in a lot of ways, and will typically start to show signs of anxiety and frustration if kept indoors for significant periods of time. Allowing your furry friend easy access to outside world with a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. So, you're sold on the idea, but exactly what is best sort of cat flap for your pet?

The most straightforward sort of cat flap, is just that. A hole is cut in a door and a flexible material is fixed over the gap to offer protection from the elements. Even though this may be acceptable for an outhouse door or garden fence panel, the vast majority of Bonnybridge cat owners would doubtless favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their house.

This basic design is still a long way off being ideal as it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to enter into your house, nonetheless it can be improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position.

Moving on from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap. This requires that your cat wears a collar which has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased inside it. No animal will be able to leave or get into your home unless it's fitted with one of these special collars. Once again this is a fairly basic type of cat flap, as any other moggy in the area who's got a similar collar could perhaps get into your home. An improvement to this equipment is a RF cat flap and collar system which features a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat's owner.

Fitting a cat flap which can identify your cat's own micro-chip, is the next level in access security for felines. You need to enter the details of your cat's microchip into the memory the cat flap (which is powered by batteries), and if you have several cats it will accept multiple entries. Exit and entry can only be achieved by micro-chipped pets, and the flap is unfastened whenever you cat is in the vicinity.

When you are buying a cat flap, you should make sure it's of a design that can be locked. These days, the majority of cat flaps on the market feature a 4-way locking mechanism for added security. Which means that the cat flap can be locked fully, permit access into your house only, permit exit only, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This gives you options for all times of day and night, to control how your cat flap operates. Based on your cat's and your requirements, there is even the possibility to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with a number of the high end models.

Putting in a cat flap yourself can be quite easy if you've got a solid timber door on your Bonnybridge house, and decent do-it-yourself skills. But, if you're planning to install it in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you must seek outside assistance. Such situations require the expertise and skills of a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter, who will have all the knowledge and equipment for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BONNYBRIDGE

Double Glazing Installation - If your cat flap is going to be mounted on a double glazed panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and give them the boot. It isn't possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Drilling holes in any kind of double glazing will destroy its security and strength, as well as its thermal insulation properties. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsafe.

A trustworthy Bonnybridge cat flap installer will carefully measure up your existing unit and order a custom-made one from a local glazing firm. To ensure that the cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new double glazing panel will be provided with a hole pre-cut as part of its construction. This can take two weeks or so to manufacture, but it is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. After fabrication, the old glass can be taken out, and the new modified one put in its place. The installing of your cat flap can then be carried out.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite feasible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. You'll need to verify what the interior structure of you door is, because for added security certain uPVC door panels are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. The easiest kind of installation is in doors with a single panel, subsequently if you have a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slats for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - It is also possible to get a cat flap installed in an external wall of your home in Bonnybridge, if you don't want to cut chunks out of your doors, whether for aesthetic or safety reasons. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a little more expertise and equipment to fit, so it's certainly better left to a professional.

A reliable cat flap fitter in Bonnybridge will be capable of removing your old,unwanted cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without damaging the surrounding window, door or wall.

If the replacement cat flap is going to be installed in a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must make sure that the existing glass has been manufactured, cut and installed accurately.
