Cat Flap Fitter Carterton

Cat Flap Fitter Carterton Oxfordshire (OX18): To provide your cat with the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Carterton house. In a similar vein to humans, when kept indoors, cats will often start to show signs of anxiety and frustration. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main positive aspects of giving your furry friend easy access to outside world via a cat flap. If this seems like a good option for you, precisely what kind of cat flap should you put in?

A cat flap at its most fundamental is simply that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a flexible material is placed over the gap to give a bit of protection from the weather. The majority of cat owners in Carterton would prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their house, although this may be appropriate for a shed or outhouse door.

This basic design is still a long way off being perfect since it allows other animals or cats to get into your home, however it can be improved on with the addition of magnetic strips to hold the flap in place.

The next step up from the magnetic strip style are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar boasting an IR, RF chip or magnet. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will not be able to trigger the flap and get into or leave your property, thus preventing some undesirable visitors. Again this is a pretty basic kind of cat flap, because any other moggy in the neighbourhood who's got a similar collar could perchance get into your property. An improvement to this device is an RF cat flap/collar system which offers a unique identifier that can be programmed by the user.

A model of cat flap which is can be recognised by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next level in Carterton feline entry security. The micro-chip details are entered into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got several cats). When your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and allow solely your micro-chipped pets to enter/exit.

Whatever cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in place. Most cat flaps sold nowadays feature a 4-way locking system. Which means that the cat flap can allow only entry into your property, be locked fully, enable only exit from your home, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This provides you with a variety of solutions on how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night time. The ability to perform particular functions according to the time of day, and in line with yours and your pet's requirements is also a possibility with some of the higher end models of cat flap.

If you are pretty good at do-it-yourself, putting in your own cat flap shouldn't be too much of a challenge, if you've got a solid wood door on your property in Carterton. But, if you're intending to fit it in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you must seek outside assistance. These situations require the expertise and skills of a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter, who is certain to have have the equipment and knowledge for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN CARTERTON

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, immediately send them packing. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Making holes in the double glazing damages not only the security and strength of the panel, but it takes away the insulation properties as well. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

A professional cat flap installer will take measurements of your current double glazed pane and have a local Carterton glazing company make a new one. As part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be installed perfectly into. You may have to wait two weeks or so for this special pane to be manufactured, but if you want a cat flap installed into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, this is really the only way to accomplish it. After fabrication, the old glass panel will be taken out, and the new adapted one put in. The installation of your cat flap will then be carried out.

This kind of project will not be all that expensive and is worth doing properly, if getting your cat flap professionally installed provides you with that added peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be installed into uPVC doors in most cases. You or your installer will need to find out what the interior structure of you door actually is, because for added security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the best for cat flap installation, so if yours has got a slatted style panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single pane.

Wall Installation - If you don't want to cut a hole in your doors, either for safety or aesthetic reasons, you could always have a cat flap installed within an outside wall. This type of installment is definitely best left to the pros, since it calls for a lot more equipment and skill to accomplish. You will find there are a couple of choices for this sort of installation, including a straight-through tunnel design, or a right angle (through pillar) configuration. With this kind of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly cut out of your selected wall. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so that your cat can get in and out of the house whenever it wants.

An expert Carterton cat flap installer will be glad to remove your old device and swap it for a brand new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the wall, window or door on which it is attached.

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