Cat Flap Fitter Braunton

Cat Flap Fitter Braunton Devon (EX33): Putting in a cat flap doesn't just save you the hassle of having to open the door every time your cat decides to stroll in or out, it also gives your cat extra independence and enhances it's all round quality of life. Cats are quite like humans in many ways, and will sometimes show signs of irritability and frustration if kept inside for significant periods of time without a break. Allowing your furry friend access to the world outside by means of a cat flap can help keep them mentally and physically fit. So, you are sold on the idea, but which is perfect style of cat flap for your pet?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A piece of flexible material hung over a hole in a doorway to permit a cat to climb through, but keep out the elements. Obviously, this is really basic, and will rarely sufficient for most Braunton cat owners, who would doubtless favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house, although it might be appropriate for a shed or outhouse door.

This uncomplicated model is still a long way from being ideal since it allows other animals or cats a way to get into your property, however it can be improved on to some degree with the addition of magnetic strips to keep the flap in position.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip version. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar boasting a magnet, IR or RF chip. No animal is going to be able to leave or get into your property unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. The fact that any other cat in the neighbourhood that has a similar collar could perhaps gain access to your home, is the drawback with this still fairly basic sort of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be improved to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system having an owner programmed unique identifier.

The next level in feline entrance security is to fit a cat flap that recognises your pet's micro-chip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. Whenever your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

The ability to lock it in position is important no matter which cat flap you are purchasing. These days, nearly all cat flaps on the market feature a 4-way locking system for extra security. This allows your cat flap to permit only entrance into your home, enable exit from your premises only, be locked fully, or have 2-way entry and exit functionality. This will provide you with options for all times of night and day, to have control over exactly how your cat flap operates. In keeping with yours and your pet's needs, there's even the possibility to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, with several of the top-end models.

If you have a wooden door on your property in Braunton, putting in you own cat flap should not be all that complicated. But, if you are hoping to fit it into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you ought to ask for outside help. This type of installation calls for the attention of a professional, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and talented odd job men who'll be glad to take on such work.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BRAUNTON

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap needs to be fitted into a double glazed door or window panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the work right away and give them the boot. It isn't possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazing window pane or door panel. Making a hole in your double glazing destroys not only the security and strength of the glazing, but it removes the thermal insulation attributes as well. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it should never be attempted in any circumstances whatsoever.

A reliable Braunton cat flap fitter will carefully get the dimensions of your existing panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing firm. This new pane will have a pre-cut hole as a part of its construction where your cat flap will be installed. You may have a 1 or 2 week waiting period for this pane to be made, however if you want a cat flap installed into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to accomplish it. Once you've acquired your new pane of glass, the old unit can be taken out and the new one installed. It will now be possible to install your cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, solid wooden door panels are the simplest option when it comes to cat flap installation on your home in Braunton. If you're somewhat uncomfortable with creating a hole in your front door, you may be happier bringing in a professional handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This sort of task will not be all that expensive and is worthwhile doing properly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional provides you with that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally be installed into uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the internal construction, because some uPVC door panels have a steel lining for further security. The simplest type of cat flap installation is in doors with a single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be easier and cheaper overall to exchange the slats for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - It's also a possibility to have a cat flap fitted in an external wall of your property in Braunton, if you do not want to have a hole cut in one of your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons. A wall cat flap entrance requires a bit more expertise and equipment to fit, so it is certainly best left to a professional. Nearly all wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnelled style, but right angular access through a pillar is also a possibility. Installation involves a neat square shaped hole being cut through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. Each end of the hole is then installed with a cat flap so that your cat can exit and enter the house whenever it desires.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Braunton - If you've already got a cat flap fitted on a door, window or wall, but it's damaged or not working correctly, the existing hole can hopefully still be used for installing a new one. A good cat flap fitter in Braunton will be able to remove your old cat flap, and fix a brand new one as a replacement without damaging the window, door or wall.

When the installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it will be essential to make sure that this was previously done accurately, before attaching the new flap. The glass will need to be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety issues, if it is found this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the earlier installation.
