Cat Flap Fitter Burton-upon-Trent

Cat Flap Fitter Burton-upon-Trent Staffordshire (DE13): Fitting a cat flap to an external door or wall in your property in Burton-upon-Trent, will allow it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of freedom and independence. Cats that are kept indoors, just like people, will show signs of irritability. Giving your cat easy access to outside world with a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. If this seems like a good option for you, precisely what style of cat flap should you install?

The most rudimentry kind of cat flap is essentially that. A sheet of flexible material hung over a hole in a door to permit a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. Obviously, this is very basic, and will not be sufficient for most cat owners in Burton-upon-Trent, who would doubtless prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their home, although it may be acceptable for a garden fence panel or shed door.

Because this solution will allow other creatures or cats to enter your property, it isn't at all ideal, although it can be enhanced to some extent by holding the flap in position by adding magnetic strips.

The next step up from the magnetic strip design are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar featuring an IR, RF chip or magnet. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your property unless it's fitted with this special collar. Once again this is a pretty simple form of cat flap, because any other cat in the Burton-upon-Trent area that has a similar model of collar can access your property. An enhancement to this equipment is a RF cat flap/collar system which offers a unique identifier that can be programmed by the home owner.

Picking a cat flap which can be triggered by your pet's own microchip, is the next level in access security for felines. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be achieved by micro-chipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is nearby.

Whenever you're buying a cat flap, you must make sure that it's of a type that can be locked. Currently, the majority of cat flaps available on the market have a 4-way locking system for added security. This means that it has the capability to be fully locked, allow exit from your home only, enable entrance into your home only, or be put in 2-way exit and entry mode. This provides you with a number of solutions on precisely how your cat flap functions at all times of the day and night. The ability to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on yours and your cat's requirements is also an option with some of the high end brands of cat flap.

If you've got a wood door on your home in Burton-upon-Trent, fitting a cat flap yourself shouldn't be all that complicated. On no account should you try to fit a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These types of fixtures require a professional installation by a reputable cat flap fitter or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BURTON-UPON-TRENT

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, immediately send them on their way. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Any type of double glazed unit will be damaged by cutting into it, and will detract from its strength, thermal properties and security. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsafe.

It is necessary to get a new double glazed unit made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your local Burton-upon-Trent cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your existing panel and put in an order for a brand new one. This new glazed panel will have a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure where your cat flap will be fitted. This is basically the only way to install a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it can take a week or two to manufacture. Once you have taken possession of your new glass pane, the old unit can be taken out and the new panel installed. The installing of your cat flap will then be completed.

This kind of project will not be all that expensive and is worth doing correctly, if getting your cat flap professionally installed offers you that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be installed into uPVC doors in most instances. You or your installer will need to ascertain what the interior construction of you door actually is, since for additional security certain uPVC door panels are made with a galvanised steel lining. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted type panel, it might be advisable to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or security reasons, you don't want to have a chunk cut out of your door, you could elect to install the cat flap in an external wall of your house. Calling for considerably more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is definitely best left to a specialist, if it's to be accomplished correctly. There are a number of possibilities for this sort of installation, including a straight through tunnel design, or a right angular (through pillar) configuration.

When the installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in double glazing, it is necessary to make sure that this was previously done correctly, before attaching the new flap.
