Cat Flap Fitter Claygate

Cat Flap Fitter Claygate Surrey (KT10): Installing a cat flap doesn't just save you the effort of opening the door every time your cat needs to stroll in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and boosts it's overall quality of life. Cats are similar to humans in a lot of ways, and will likely start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept indoors for significant periods of time without a break. Having accessibility to outside world by means of a cat flap will help your furry friend to keep fit, both physically and mentally. If you choose to go with the cat flap option, your next decision will be what type of cat flap would be best.

A cat flap at its most basic is merely that. A hole in a door with a bendable bit of material hung over it, to keep out the elements, but allow the cat go through. Even though this could be appropriate in a fence panel or outhouse door, the majority of Claygate cat owners would doubtless prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their house.

This standard design is still a long way off being ideal because it allows other creatures or cats a means by which to enter into your home, however it can be to some degree improved on by adding magnetic strips to keep the flap in place.

A step up from the magnetic strip design are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With these, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. This means that any animal that does not have a special collar can't leave or access your home. Again this is a fairly simple kind of cat flap, since any other moggy in the area that has a similar style of collar may be able to gain access to your home. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of this equipment because they can be programmed by the user to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet.

A model of cat flap that's able to identify your cat's own microchip, is the next stage in feline access security. The details of your cat's microchip are programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you have several cats). The flap will be unfastened anytime your cat is in close proximity, only permitting access to pets that are microchipped.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you should make certain that it's of a design that can be locked. Nowadays, most cat flaps on the market feature a four way locking system for extra security. This means that the cat flap can allow exit only, allow only access into your home, be locked fully, or be set for two way entry and exit. This offers you alternatives for all times of day and night, to control how your cat flap functions. In keeping with your pet's and your requirements, there's even the option to perform different functions according to the time of day, with a few of the top-end devices.

If you're fairly good at do-it-yourself, installing your own cat flap shouldn't be all that difficult, if you've got a solid timber door on your Claygate home. Not in any circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. Such situations call for the skills and expertise of a specialist cat flap fitter or handyman, who'll have all the tools and knowledge for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN CLAYGATE

Double Glazing Installations - If you happen to hire someone who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your cat flap, stop them right away and request that they leave. New cat flaps cannot be installed into existing double glazed doors or window panels. Any type of double glazing will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will damage its strength, security and insulating attributes. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it should not be attempted under any circumstances whatsoever.

A reliable Claygate cat flap fitter will diligently take the precise measurements of your current panel and order a custom-made one from a local glazing firm. To ensure that your cat flap can be snugly fitted into it, this new glazed pane will be provided with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure. You may have to wait two weeks or so for this pane to be manufactured, however if you need a cat flap installed in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, this is basically the only way to do it. As soon as your new glass pane shows up, the fitter will take out the old one, and replace it with the new "cat flap ready" one. The installing of your cat flap can then be concluded.

External Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, wooden doors are the simplest option with regards to cat flap installation on your house in Claygate. If you are unsure of making a hole in your front door, it's a good move to call on an expert to complete the task for you. This will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you will wind up with a professionally installed cat flap, and that the project has been carried out in the right and proper way.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. Having said that, some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for further security, which may cause some issues. A one-piece panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be cheaper to exchange this panel for a single pane model.

Wall Installation - It's also a possibility to have a cat flap fitted on an outside wall of your house in Claygate, if you do not want to cut chunks out of your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons. Needing much more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installment is undoubtedly best left to the pros, if it's to be accomplished successfully. You'll find there are several options for this installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angular (through pillar) adaption. This installation entails a square shaped hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with a cat flap so that your furry pal can get out of and into the house whenever it wants.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Claygate - If you've already got a cat flat, but it's either broken or not functioning correctly, the current hole in your window, door or wall can be used for a replacement providing the new flap is of an equivalent size. An experienced Claygate cat flap installer will gladly take off your old device and replace it with a fresh cat flap without causing any damage to the wall, door or window on which it is secured.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it is important to make certain that this was previously done accurately, before fitting the new cat flap. The pane must be removed and substituted to avoid any security and safety problems, if it becomes obvious that this isn't the case and corners were cut in the original installation.
