Cat Flap Fitter Castleside

Cat Flap Fitter Castleside County Durham (DH8): Putting in a cat flap doesn't only save you the bother of having to open the door every time your cat chooses to go in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and enhances it's quality of life. Cats tend to get crabby and irritated when constantly kept indoors, and not allowed to roam free. Giving your furry friend easy access to world outside by means of a cat flap can also help in keeping them physically and mentally fit. However, what form of cat flap is best for your situation?

The simplest style of cat flap is basically that. A piece of bendable material placed over a hole in a door to allow a cat to pass through, but keep out the elements. Though this might be suitable in a garden fence panel or outhouse door, most Castleside cat owners would doubtless prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their home.

Since this option will allow other animals or cats to enter your property, it isn't at all recommended, although it can be improved on a bit by keeping the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip version. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar boasting a magnet, IR or RF chip. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it won't be able to open the flap and get into or leave your property, therefore avoiding some unwanted visitors. Again this is a fairly basic kind of cat flap, because any other cat in the neighbourhood who has a similar collar could perhaps 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 user.

A model of cat flap that's can be triggered by your pet's micro-chip, is the next stage in feline entry security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you've got more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. When your cat is close to the flap, it will unlock and permit just your micro-chipped pets to enter/exit.

When you are purchasing a cat flap, you should ensure that it's of a design that can be locked into position. For added flexibility, most cat flaps boast a four way locking system these days. This makes it possible for your cat flap to be locked fully, permit entry into your house only, permit exit from your property only, or have two-way exit and entrance capability. This will provide you with a number of options on how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night time. In line with your cat's and your requirements, there is even the option to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with some of the top-end devices.

If you've got a wood door in your home in Castleside, putting in a cat flap yourself shouldn't be all that complicated. But, if you're hoping to fit it into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you must ask for outside assistance. Such situations call for the skills and expertise of a reputable cat flap fitter or carpenter, who'll have the equipment and knowledge for this type of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN CASTLESIDE

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel, immediately send them on their way. New cat flaps cannot be installed into pre-existing double glazed window or door panels. Cutting or drilling into any type of double glazing will damage its security and strength, as well as its thermal insulation attributes. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it shouldn't be attempted under any circumstances.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazed unit made especially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your local Castleside cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current unit and put in an order for the new one. So that the cat flap can be nicely fitted into it, this new double glazing unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as a part of its construction. You may have a one or two week waiting period for this special pane to be manufactured, but if you want a cat flap fitted into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to do it. Once you've acquired your new adapted pane of glass, the old unit can be taken out and the new one fitted. The installing of your cat flap can then be concluded.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber door panels are, as I already stated, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Castleside. If you're somewhat nervous about making an opening in your front door, you may be better off bringing in a specialist cat flap fitter or handyman instead. A project like this should not be expensive and will give you peace of mind that your cat has an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can usually be installed into uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the internal construction, because some uPVC door panels can have a steel lining for added security. The easiest type of installation is in doors having one single panel, therefore if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be cheaper and easier overall to replace the slats with a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to get a cat flap mounted in an outside wall of your house in Castleside, if you do not wish to cut holes in your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons. Requiring much more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap install is undoubtedly best left to the pros, if it's to be executed correctly. You can decide on a straight-through tunnel design, or perhaps a right angled version which allows access via a pillar. A square hole will have to be cut through your wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. A cat flap is then installed on both ends of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Castleside - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not functioning correctly, the existing hole in your door, wall or window can be fitted with a replacement as long as the new cat flap is of a similar size. Your cat flap fitter will take off the old cat flap, without harming the wall, window or door, and fit a brand new flap for your cat.

Before attaching a new flap in a double glazing pane that's been previously pre-cut, checking that the current glass has been manufactured and installed in the right way is crucial. The panel will need to be removed and substituted to avoid any security and safety issues, if you discover that this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the earlier installation.
