Cat Flap Fitter Carnoustie

Cat Flap Fitter Carnoustie Scotland (DD7): Fitting a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Carnoustie home helps to give your cat the freedom and independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats are similar to humans in a lot of ways, and will frequently show signs of anxiety and frustration if kept indoors for significant periods of time without a break. Having accessibility to outside world with a cat flap will help your furry friend to keep fit, both physically and mentally. So, you think it's a good idea, but which is best sort of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most rudimentry type of cat flap is essentially that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible piece of material hung over it, to provide protection from the weather, but let the cat pass through. While this might be appropriate in a shed door or fence panel, the vast majority of cat owners in Carnoustie would doubtless favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house.

This standard model can be to some degree improved on with magnetic strips to hold the flap in place, however it is still a long way off being ideal as it enables other animals or cats a means by which to enter into your house.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap, are the next step up from the magnetic strip version. In this case, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be sewn into your cat's collar. No animal will be able to leave or access your property unless it is fitted with this special collar. The reality that any other moggy in the Carnoustie area who has a similar model of collar can easily access your property, is the downside with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. An improvement to this equipment is a RF cat flap and collar system which includes a unique identifier that can be programmed by the user. Your feline friend is the sole one to get access, offering an additional layer of security and control.

A cat flap which is able to identify your cat's own microchip, is the next stage in feline entry security. The number of your cat's micro-chip is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one cat). Exit and entry can only be accomplished by microchipped animals, and the flap is unlocked when you cat is close by.

Whichever cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in position. For extra flexibility, the majority of cat flaps feature a 4-way locking system these days. Which means that the cat flap can allow only exit from your home, permit entry into your house only, be locked fully, or be set for 2-way entry and exit. This provides full control over the functioning of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night time. In line with yours and your cat's needs, there is even the possibility to perform specific functions according to the time of day, with a few of the high end devices.

Installing a cat flap yourself can be quite easy if you've got a solid wood door, and respectable DIY capabilities. But, if you're hoping to install it in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you must ask for outside assistance. These sorts of fixtures call for a professional installation from a reliable cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN CARNOUSTIE

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while trying to install your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing panel, send them packing immediately. A new cat flap can't be mounted into an existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Any kind of double glazed unit will be damaged by cutting into it, and will diminish its security, insulating properties and strength. It should under no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsound.

A specialist cat flap installer will take measurements of the existing double glazing pane and have a glazing company make a new purpose made one. So that the cat flap can be perfectly fitted into it, this new double glazed unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its structure. This is basically the only way to install a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it might take a week or more to manufacture. Once you've received your new panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new pane fitted. Your cat flap will then be installed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The easiest option for new cat flap installations in Carnoustie, as was mentioned earlier in this article, are solid wood doors. If you're nervous about making a hole in your back or front door, it's a good move to call on a specialist to do the work for you. This kind of project should not be expensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your kitty can enjoy a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be sometimes be suitable for a cat flap. However, some uPVC doors are lined with steel for added security, which can cause some problems. The models 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 - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of one of your doors, you could choose to install your cat flap into an outside wall of your house. Calling for considerably more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is undoubtedly better left to a specialist, if it is to be completed correctly. You could go with a straightforward tunnel style, or perhaps a right angle model which allows access via a pillar. A neat square shaped hole will need to be made through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. Both ends of the hole are then installed with a cat flap so that your furry pal can get out of and into your house whenever it wants.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Carnoustie - If your wall, window or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working, or is damaged, it's possible to mount a replacement over the current hole. A specialist Carnoustie cat flap fitter will be glad to take out your old entry unit and swap it for a new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the door, window or wall on which it's attached.

If the substitute cat flap is being mounted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must check that the existing glass has been made and installed in the right way. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the glass will need to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems with the new flap.
