Cat Flap Fitter Cirencester

Cat Flap Fitter Cirencester Gloucestershire (GL7): To give your cat the freedom and independence it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Cirencester home. Much like humans, when kept inside for long periods of time, cats will typically start to show signs of anxiety and frustration. Giving your furry friend easy access to world outside with a cat flap can also help in keeping them physically and mentally fit. If this seems like a good idea to you, exactly what sort of cat flap should you opt for?

The most straightforward kind of cat flap, is just that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable bit of material fixed over it, to keep out the elements, but let the cat move through. Obviously, this is very basic, and will not be good enough for most cat owners in Cirencester, who would doubtless prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their house, although it could be appropriate for an outhouse door or fence panel.

As this solution allows other cats or animals to enter your home, it isn't at all ideal, although it can be enhanced a little by keeping the flap in position by adding magnetic strips.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar boasting an RF chip, IR or magnet. This means that any animal that hasn't got a special collar can't leave or access your home. The point that any other cat in the area that has a similar model of collar can easily get into your property, is the drawback with this still fairly basic sort of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be improved to a certain extent with an RF cat flap and collar system containing an owner programmed unique identifier.

The type of cat flap that's able to identify your pet's own micro-chip, is the next level in feline access security. The micro-chip details are programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one pet). The flap is unfastened whenever your cat is in close proximity, only permitting access to pets that are microchipped.

Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you should make certain that it's of a type that can be locked. For extra flexibility, the majority of cat flaps feature a four way locking mechanism these days. This allows your cat flap to enable exit from your home only, be fully locked, permit entry into your property only, or have two way entry and exit functionality. This provides total control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. In line with yours and your cat's needs, there is even the option to perform particular functions according to the time of day, with several of the more advanced devices.

If you have a wood door on your house in Cirencester, fitting you own cat flap shouldn't be that hard. On no account should you try to fit a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door. These sorts of fittings call for a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or odd job man with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN CIRENCESTER

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your new cat flap, stop them at once and request that they leave. A new cat flap can't be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Any type of double glazing will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will detract from its security, thermal insulation properties and strength. Actually, it makes the glazing unsound and it should not ever be attempted.

A specialist cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current double glazing pane and have a glazing firm make a new purpose made one. This new glazed pane will be delivered with a hole cut out as a part of its construction where the cat flap will be installed. This might take a week or so to manufacture, however it is the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door. Once you've taken possession of your new adapted glass pane, the old one can be removed and the new one fitted. The cat flap can then be installed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As previously mentioned, wooden door panels are the least complicated alternative in relation to cat flap installation on your property in Cirencester. If you're a little unsure of cutting a sizeable hole in your front door, you might be happier hiring an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. A project like this will not be expensive and will give you peace of mind that your kitty will be climbing through an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in many cases. You or your installer will have to establish what the internal structure of you door actually is, since for additional security some uPVC door panels are made with a reinforced steel lining. A one piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be cheaper to replace the panel with a single panel type.

Wall Installation - If you do not wish to cut holes in your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed within an external wall. Needing considerably more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap install is undoubtedly better left to the pros, if it's to be accomplished correctly. Almost all wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnelled style, but right angle access through a pillar can also be achieved. This installation involves a neat square hole being made through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. A cat flap of your choice is then mounted on either end to permit your furry friend to exit and enter as it pleases.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Cirencester - If you've already got a cat flap fitted on your window, door or wall, but it's damaged or not operating properly, the existing hole can hopefully be re-used for installing a replacement. You local cat flap installer will remove the unwanted cat flap, without harming the window, wall or door, and fit a brand new flap for your cat.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it will be necessary to confirm that this was previously done accurately, before attaching the new flap. If it is found this isn't the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass panel will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety issues.
