Cat Flap Fitter Clay Cross

Cat Flap Fitter Clay Cross Derbyshire (S45): Fitting a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Clay Cross house provides your cat with the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life. Cats tend to get irritated and grouchy when constantly kept inside, and not allowed to roam free. Having easy access to world outside by way of a cat flap will help your furry friend to remain fit, both mentally and physically. Naturally, that's not the end of the story, since there are many kinds of cat flap, and figuring out which design is best for your pet is not always easy.

The most basic sort of cat flap, is just that. A hole is cut into an external door and a bendable material is fixed over the gap to offer a bit of some protection from the weather. Of course, this is very basic, and won't be adequate for most Clay Cross cat owners, who would doubtless favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home, although it may be okay for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This uncomplicated design is still a long way off being perfect as it allows other cats or creatures a way to enter into your property, nonetheless it can be improved on a little by adding magnetic strips to keep the flap in place.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap. This requires your cat to wear a collar that's got either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased inside it. No animal will be able to get into or leave your house unless it is equipped with this special collar. The point that any other moggy in the area who has a similar model of collar will be able to access your house, is the downside with this kind of cat flap. An improvement to this device is a RF cat flap/collar system which contains a unique identifier that can be programmed by the user.

The next stage in feline entry security is to use a cat flap that recognises your pet's micro-chip. You have to enter the number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you've got more than one pet it will allow multiple entries. Entry and exit can only be achieved by microchipped animals, and the flap is unlocked when you cat is in the vicinity.

When you are buying a cat flap, you must ensure that it is of a type that can be locked. These days, the majority of cat flaps on the market feature a four way locking mechanism for added flexibility. This makes it possible for your cat flap to enable only exit from your home, enable only entrance into your premises, be fully locked, or have two-way exit and entrance capability. This will provide you with a range of alternatives on exactly how your cat flap functions at all times of the day and night time. The wherewithal to perform particular functions according to the time of day, and in line with your pet's and your requirements is also a possibility with some of the more expensive models of cat flap.

Fitting a cat flap on your own can be really straightforward if you've got a solid timber door on your Clay Cross property, and reasonable do-it-yourself capabilities. But, if you're planning to install it into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you should seek outside assistance. These situations call for the expertise and skills of an experienced cat flap installer or odd job man, who'll have the knowledge and tools for this kind of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN CLAY CROSS

Double Glazing Installation - If you hire someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your cat flap, stop them immediately and request that they leave. New cat flaps cannot be fitted into existing double glazed doors or window panels. Drilling or cutting into any sort of double glazing will ruin its strength and security, together with its insulating attributes. In actual fact, it makes your glazing unsound and it should never be done.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazed panel made especially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your chosen Clay Cross cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current unit and put in an order for the new one. As an integral part of its structure this new double glazing panel will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed neatly into. This may take one or two weeks to manufacture, however it is basically the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. Once you've received your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new pane fitted. The cat flap can then be installed.

External Wooden Doors - The easiest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Clay Cross, as was mentioned previously, are wooden doors. If you're a little unsure of cutting an opening in your front door, you may be better off hiring an expert cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This kind of undertaking won't be too expensive and is really worth doing properly, if having your cat flap expertly installed gives you that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite feasible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. It pays to know the internal construction, as some uPVC door panels are steel lined for extra security. A one piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it might be less expensive to swap the panel for a single panel type.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you don't want to have a chunk cut out of one of your doors, you could always elect to install a cat flap into an exterior wall of your house in Clay Cross. A wall cat flap entrance requires considerably more expertise and equipment to install, so it's definitely better left to an expert. Most cat flap installations in walls are a simple straight tunnelled style, but right angular access through a pillar is also possible. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly cut into your wall. An appropriate cat flap is then attached to both ends of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Clay Cross - If your window, door or wall already has a cat flap fitted, but it isn't working properly, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to fit a replacement into the existing hole. A specialist Clay Cross cat flap installer will be happy to remove your old unit and swap it for a new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the door, window or wall on which it's mounted.

When the cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be important to make sure that this was previously done correctly, before attaching the new cat flap. If it's found that this isn't the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the glass panel must be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues.
