Cat Flap Fitter Carluke Scotland (ML8): The installation of a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your home in Carluke, will enable it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own bit of independence. When kept inside, cats as with people, will get grouchy and irritated. When granted instant access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a much better chance of staying fit and healthy. So, you are sold on the idea, but precisely what is best form of cat flap for your beloved pet?
The most straightforward style of cat flap, is simply that. A bit of bendable material placed over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to pass through it, but keep out the elements. Obviously, this is very basic, and won't be good enough for most Carluke cat owners, who would no doubt prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their house, although it could be appropriate for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This uncomplicated design can be improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position, but it is still a long way off being ideal since it allows other cats or animals a way to get into your property.
The next step up from the magnetic strip version are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This involves your cat wearing a collar that's got either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased in it. No animal is going to be able to get into or leave your home unless it is equipped with one of these special collars. Again this is a fairly simple form of cat flap, since any other cat in the neighbourhood that's got a similar model of collar might be able to access your house. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system featuring a user programmed unique identifier.
The next level in feline entry security is to install a model of cat flap which identifies your pet's microchip. 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 give exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be achieved by micro-chipped pets, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is nearby.

Whichever cat flap you buy, it must be capable of being locked in position. For extra flexibility, most cat flaps have a four way locking mechanism these days. This allows your cat flap to permit only entrance into your house, be fully locked, permit exit from your home only, or have 2-way entry and exit functionality. This will give you options for all times of day and night, to control exactly how your cat flap works. Some of the more advanced devices can be set to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, based on yours and your cat's needs.
If you've got a wood door in your home in Carluke, installing a cat flap yourself should not be too difficult. Under no circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door. These situations require the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, who is certain to have have the equipment and knowledge for this type of installation.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN CARLUKE
Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap is going to be mounted on a double glazed door or window panel, and your appointed "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and give them their walking orders. New cat flaps cannot be mounted into pre-existing double glazing window or door panels. Making holes in your double glazing damages not just the security and strength of the panel, but it compromises the insulating properties too. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsound.
A trustworthy Carluke cat flap fitter will diligently take the precise measurements of your current pane and order a purpose made one from a local glazing supplier. As part of its structure this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be installed neatly into. This can take two weeks or so to produce, however it is the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. As soon as your new panel of glass arrives, the fitter will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" one. The fitting of the cat flap will then be carried out.
Exterior Wooden Doors - As stated earlier, solid wood door panels are the simplest alternative in relation to cat flap installation on your property in Carluke. If you are a bit uncertain about creating an opening in your front or back door, you may be happier getting in touch with a professional handyman 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 friendly flap, and that the job has been undertaken properly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can in general be installed into uPVC doors. You will have to determine what the interior structure of you door is, because for extra security certain uPVC door panels are manufactured with a steel lining. A one-piece door panel enables simpler installation, so if you have a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be cheaper to swap the panel for a single pane type.
Wall Installation - If you don't really want to have a hole cut into your doors, for safety or aesthetic reasons, you could always have a cat flap installed within an outside wall. Needing a lot more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installment is certainly better left to a specialist, if it is to be accomplished successfully. You could go for a straight-through tunnel design, or even a right angled version that allows entry via a pillar. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted into a square hole cut into your specified wall. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on both ends to enable your furry friend to enter and exit as it pleases.

A reliable cat flap installer in Carluke will be capable of removing the old,unwanted cat flap, and fix a new one in its place without damaging the surrounding window, door or wall.
If the substitute cat flap is being mounted in a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must make sure that the existing glass has been manufactured, cut and installed accurately. If it becomes obvious this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass pane will have to be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems.
