Free Brixworth Cat Flap Fitting Quotes

The most straightforward form of cat flap, is merely that. A bit of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to go through, but keep the elements out. Obviously, this is very basic, and won't be good enough for most cat owners in Brixworth, who would no doubt prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their home, although it might be acceptable for a fence panel or outhouse door.

This basic design is still a long way from being ideal as it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to get into your house, nevertheless it can be improved on slightly with the addition of a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are the next step up from the basic magnetic strip version. With this kind of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar boasting an IR, RF chip or magnet. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and leave or get into your house, thus avoiding some undesirable visitors. Again this is a relatively basic type of cat flap, because any other moggy in the neighbourhood that has a similar style of collar may be able to gain access to your property. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these products as they can be programmed by the cat owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat. Only your furry companion gains access, thus adding an extra layer of control and security.

Installing a cat flap that can identify your cat's own micro-chip, is the next level in entry security for felines. The details of your cat's micro-chip are entered into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you have several cats). Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is nearby.

Regardless of what cat flap you buy, it should have the ability to be locked in place. For extra security, nearly all cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism these days. This means that the cat flap can be locked fully, enable access into your property only, permit exit from your premises only, or be set for two way exit and entry. This will provide you with alternatives for all times of night and day, to control how your cat flap works. In keeping with your pet's and your requirements, there is even the possibility to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with some of the top-end devices.

If you're fairly good at DIY, fitting a cat flap should not be too difficult, if you have a wooden door on your house in Brixworth. Not in any circumstances should you attempt to fit a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door. This sort of installation calls for the attention of a professional, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and skilled odd job men who will be happy to undertake such work.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BRIXWORTH

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ somebody who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your new cat flap, stop them right away and ask them to leave. A new cat flap cannot be fitted into an existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Making holes in your double glazing damages not just the security and strength of the panel, but it takes away the insulating properties too. In reality, it renders your glazing unsound and it should never be done.

A professional cat flap fitter will measure the existing double glazing unit and have a glazing company make a new purpose made one. As a part of its structure this new glazed pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed neatly into. This is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, although it might take two weeks or so to manufacture. Once you've taken possession of your new glass pane, the old one can be removed and the new panel installed. The fitting of the cat flap can then be undertaken.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, wooden doors are the least complicated option in relation to cat flap installation on your property in Brixworth. If you are a bit nervous about creating a hole in your front door, you might be better off hiring a specialist carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This should provide you with the peace of mind that you are going to end up with an expertly installed cat flap, and that the job has been accomplished in the right and proper way.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. It pays to know the internal construction, as some door panels are steel lined for extra security. The easiest type of cat flap installation is in doors having a single panel, therefore if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slats for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If you do not really wish to cut a hole in your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed in an outside wall. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires a little more skill and equipment to fit, therefore it's certainly best left to a professional. The majority of wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnelled style, but right angled access via a pillar is also a possibility. This installation entails a square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so your feline friend can get in and out of your home whenever it wants.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Brixworth - If you've already got a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not functioning correctly, the existing hole in your wall, window or door can be used for a replacement provided that the new cat flap is of a similar size. An experienced Brixworth cat flap fitter will gladly remove your old unit and replace it with a brand new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the wall, door or window on which it is mounted.

Before installing the new cat flap in a double glazed pane that has been previously pre-cut, checking that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed correctly is vital. If it's discovered that corners were cut with the previous installation, the panel will need to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues with the new flap.

THE CONVENIENCE OF CAT FLAPS

  3. Convenience for Owners: The necessity for owners to pause their daily routines to allow their cats entry or exit is eliminated. This proves especially advantageous for those with busy lives or irregular timetables.
  4. Reduced Stress: The use of cat flaps means you don't have to keep an eye out and open the door for your cat constantly, thus lowering stress for both yourself and your pet, as it allows for unassisted entry and exit.
  5. Independence for Cats: By allowing access to the outdoors, exercise, and a means to satisfy their innate curiosity, cat flaps cater to the independent nature of cats, boosting their happiness and improving their health.
