Cat Flap Fitter Buntingford

Cat Flap Fitter Buntingford Hertfordshire (SG9): Fitting a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Buntingford home allows your cat the independence it needs to live a happy life. Cats are inclined to get crabby and irritated when constantly kept indoors, and not able to roam free. Having a cat that's both physically and mentally fit, is just one of the positive aspects of giving your cat access to the outside world by way of a cat flap. So, you are sold on the idea, but which is perfect style of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most straightforward form of cat flap, is merely that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible piece of material hung over it, to give protection from the elements, but allow the cat pass through it. Whilst this might be acceptable for a fence panel or shed door, most cat owners in Buntingford would no doubt prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their house.

Because this solution can allow other cats or animals to enter your home, it is not at all recommended, though it can be improved on to some extent by keeping the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

Moving on from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap. In this case, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is equipped with one of these special collars, it will not be able to trigger the flap and leave or access your home, hence preventing some undesirable visitors. The point that any other cat in the Buntingford area that's got a similar collar can access your home, is the downside with this still fairly basic sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these devices as they can be programmed by the home owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

Picking a cat flap that can be triggered by your pet's own microchip, is the next level in access gadgets for felines. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. When your cat passes close to the flap, it unlocks and permits just your micro-chipped pets to enter/exit.

The ability to lock it in position is important regardless which cat flap you're purchasing. For extra flexibility, almost all cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism nowadays. This allows your cat flap to enable exit from your home only, permit entry into your house only, be fully locked, or have 2-way exit and entrance capability. This offers you a range of alternatives on precisely how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night time. In line with yours and your cat's requirements, there is even the option to carry out different functions according to the time of day, with a number of the higher end models.

Installing a cat flap by yourself can be quite straightforward if you have a solid timber door on your Buntingford house, and decent do-it-yourself capabilities. However, if it has to be fitted in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt it by yourself. These kinds of fixtures require a professional installation from a dependable cat flap fitter or handyman with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BUNTINGFORD

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while trying to install your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel, immediately send them on their way. A new cat flap can't be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Drilling or cutting into any sort of double glazing will damage its strength and security, together with its thermal insulation properties. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be done in any circumstances.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazing unit made especially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your local Buntingford cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current unit and put in an order for the new one. As a part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be installed snugly into. This could take a couple of weeks to produce, but it is really the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door. After fabrication, the old glass will be taken out, and the new one put in its place. The installation of the cat flap can then be completed.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, wooden doors are the easiest option with regards to installing a new cat flap on your home in Buntingford. It is normally best to call on a professional carpenter or cat flap fitter, if you are uncertain about making a big hole in your front or back door. This type of undertaking will not be all that expensive and is well worth doing properly, if getting your cat flap expertly installed offers you that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be installed with a cat flap. It pays to know the interior construction, since some door panels are steel lined for further security. The simplest type of cat flap installation is in doors with one single panel, consequently if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be cheaper and easier overall to exchange the slatted pane for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to have a hole cut in your doors, either for aesthetic or safety reasons, you could have a cat flap installed on an external wall. Requiring considerably more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installment is certainly best left to the pros, if it's to be executed correctly. You'll find there are a couple of possibilities for this type of installation, including a straightforward design, or a right angular (through pillar) configuration. A square shaped hole will have to be cut through your selected wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. The cat flap you have chosen can then be mounted on both ends to allow your furry pal to come and go as it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Buntingford - If you already have a cat flat, but it is either damaged or not operating properly, the current hole in your wall, window or door can be fitted with a replacement so long as the new flap is of an equivalent size. A specialist Buntingford cat flap installer will gladly remove your old device and replace it with a brand new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the wall, window or door on which it's attached.

If the replacement cat flap is to be fitted in a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must make certain that the existing glass has been made and installed correctly. The glass pane will need to be taken out and exchanged to avoid any security and safety issues, if you discover that this is not the case and corners were cut during the original installation.
