Cat Flap Fitter Bottesford

Cat Flap Fitter Bottesford Lincolnshire (DN16): A simple way to give your cat more independence and improve it's overally quality of life is to install a cat flap on an outside door or wall of your home in Bottesford. Cats which are kept inside, just like people, can show signs of frustration. Having accessibility to outside world via a cat flap will help your furry friend to remain fit, both mentally and physically. But what sort of cat flap is the best solution for your situation?

The most rudimentry kind of cat flap is essentially that. A bit of flexible material fixed over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. Of course, this is really basic, and won't be good enough for most cat owners in Bottesford, who would doubtless prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their house, although it could be acceptable for a shed door or fence panel.

Because this solution will allow other animals or cats to enter your property, it's not at all ideal, although it can be improved on to some degree by holding the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

The next step up from the magnetic strip design are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With these, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and leave or access your property, thus avoiding some undesirable visitors. The fact that any other moggy in the area who has a similar collar could possible access your property, is the drawback with this sort of cat flap. An upgrade to this device is an RF cat flap and collar system which includes a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat owner.

The next step-up in feline entrance security is to fit a model of cat flap which recognises your cat's microchip. The details of your cat's microchip are programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you have more than one pet). When your cat comes into close vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and allows just your microchipped pets to enter or exit.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you should make certain it's of a type that can be locked. Most cat flaps sold today have a 4-way locking mechanism. Which means it has the capability to permit exit only, enable entry into your house only, be fully locked, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This offers you a variety of options on how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night. A few high end cat flaps can be programmed to perform different functions according to the time of day, in line with yours and your pet's requirements.

If you've got a wood door on your house in Bottesford, putting in a cat flap yourself should not be all that complicated. Under no circumstances should you try and fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. Such situations call for the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or odd job man, who will have the knowledge and tools for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BOTTESFORD

Double Glazing Installations - If you hire somebody who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to install your new cat flap, stop them at once and ask them to leave. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Making holes in the double glazing damages not merely the security and strength of the glazing, but it takes away the insulating attributes as well. In actual fact, it makes your glazing unsafe and it should not ever be done.

A reliable Bottesford cat flap fitter will meticulously take the measurements of your existing panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing company. To ensure that your cat flap can be nicely installed into it, this new glazed panel will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its construction. This might take two weeks or so to manufacture, however it is really the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. Once your new glass panel arrives, the installer will remove the old unit, and swap it for the new "cat flap ready" one. Your cat flap will then be mounted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as previously mentioned, the easiest alternatives for installing a new cat flap in Bottesford. If you're a little unsure about cutting a sizeable hole in your front or back door, you might be happier contacting an expert carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This should provide you with the reassurance that you are going to end up with a professionally fitted cat flap, and that the project has been accomplished properly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can usually be fitted into uPVC doors. However, certain uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for further security, which may cause some problems. A one piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be more cost effective to swap the panel for a single panel style.

Wall Installation - If you do not really wish to cut a hole in your doors, either for aesthetic or safety reasons, you can get a cat flap installed in an external wall. Requiring considerably more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installation is definitely better left to the pros, if it's to be accomplished correctly. Almost all wall cat flap installations are a basic straight tunnel style, however right angled access via a pillar can also be achieved. A square hole will need to be made through your selected wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so your furry pal can get in and out of your home whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Bottesford - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not functioning correctly, the current hole in your window, door or wall can be fitted with a replacement provided that the new flap is of a similar size. Your cat flap installer should be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, without harming the surrounding wall, door or window, and install a new flap in its place for your cat.

Before attaching a new flap in a double glazing panel that's been pre-cut, making certain that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed accurately is vital. If it's discovered that corners were cut with the previous installation, the pane must be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety issues with the new flap.
