Cat Flap Fitter Brighouse West Yorkshire (HD6): Fitting a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your Brighouse house helps to give your cat the freedom and independence that it needs to live a happy life. When kept indoors, cats as with humans, will get grumpy and irritated. When allowed instant access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your precious cat has a better chance of staying healthy and well. If this seems like a good idea to you, exactly what form of cat flap should you fit?
Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is merely that. A hole in a door with a bendable bit of material hung over it, to give protection from the weather, but permit the cat pass through. The majority of cat owners in Brighouse would prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their house, although this might be suitable for a shed or outhouse door.
This basic model is still a long way from being ideal as it allows other animals or cats a means by which to enter your property, but it can be improved on with the addition of a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position.
A step up from the magnetic strip style are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. In this case, either a magnet, RF or IR chip 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, hence preventing some unwanted visitors. The downside is that any other cat in the Brighouse area who has a similar model of collar can still gain access to your house with this type of cat flap fitted. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these products and can be programmed by the householder to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet.
Choosing a cat flap that can identify your cat's microchip, is the next level in access security for felines. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you have more than one pet it will take multiple entries. Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped animals, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is close by.
Being able to lock it in place is essential regardless which cat flap you're purchasing. For extra security, almost all cat flaps feature a four way locking system nowadays. Which means that the cat flap can enable entry into your premises only, be locked fully, allow exit from your property only, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This provides you with a variety of alternatives on precisely how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night time. A few more expensive models can be programmed to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, based on your pet's and your requirements.
If you're fairly decent at do-it-yourself, fitting your own cat flap should not be too much of a challenge, as long as you have a timber door on your house in Brighouse. Under no circumstances should you try and fit a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door. This kind of installation will require the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap installers and skilled carpenters who are happy to accept such a task.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BRIGHOUSE
Double Glazing Installations - If you employ somebody who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to install your cat flap, stop them right away and request that they leave. New cat flaps can not be mounted into existing double glazed doors or window panels. Any sort of double glazed unit will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will diminish its strength, security and thermal attributes. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be attempted under any circumstances.
It is necessary to obtain a new double glazing unit made especially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Brighouse cat flap installer will take the measurements of your existing pane and put in an order for a brand new one. So that the cat flap can be nicely fitted into it, this new double glazed pane will arrive with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure. This may take two weeks or so to manufacture, but it's the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. When your new pane of glass is delivered, the fitter will take out the old unit, and swap it for the new "cat flap ready" panel. The installing of your cat flap will then be undertaken.
External Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, solid wooden doors are the least complicated option when it comes to cat flap installation on your property in Brighouse. If you're a bit unsure of cutting a hole in your back or front door, you might be happier contacting a specialist handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This kind of project won't be too expensive and is worthwhile doing properly, if getting your cat flap professionally installed provides you with that additional reassurance.
uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in many cases. Nonetheless, certain uPVC door panels are lined with steel for added security, which may cause some problems. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for cat flap installation, so if yours has got a slatted style panel, it may be easier to replace this with a single panel.
Wall Installation - It's also possible to have a cat flap fitted in an external wall of your house in Brighouse, if you do not wish to have a hole cut in one of your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons. This sort of installment is definitely better left to an expert, as it requires considerably more equipment and skill to execute. You can decide on a straight through tunnel style, or maybe a right angled version that allows entry via a pillar. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole cut into your wall. A suitable cat flap is then mounted on each side of the hole.
Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Brighouse - If your wall, door or window already has a cat flap fitted, but it is not working, or is damaged, it's perfectly possible to mount a replacement over the existing hole. An experienced Brighouse cat flap fitter will be happy to remove your old device and replace it with a brand new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the wall, door or window on which it's mounted.
If the replacement cat flap is being mounted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must make certain that the glass has been fabricated, cut and installed correctly. If it's discovered that corners were cut with the previous installation, the panel will have to be taken out and exchanged to avoid any security and safety issues with the new flap.
