Cat Flap Fitter Coleford

Cat Flap Fitter Coleford Gloucestershire (GL16): Installing a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your Coleford property provides your cat with the independence it needs to live a happy life. Cats kept inside, much like people, can show signs of irritability. Allowing your cat access to the world outside by means of a cat flap can also help keep them physically and mentally fit. So, you're sold on the idea, but what is best form of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The simplest form of cat flap is basically that. A hole in a door with a flexible bit of material hung over it, to keep out the elements, but allow the cat go through. Of course, this is extremely basic, and will not be adequate for most Coleford cat owners, who would doubtless favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their house, although it might be acceptable for an outhouse or shed door.

This standard model is still a long way off being perfect since it allows other cats or creatures a way to enter into your home, but it can be slightly improved upon by adding magnetic strips to hold the flap in position.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap, are a significant step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar featuring a magnet, IR or RF chip. No animal is going to be able to leave or access your property unless it's fitted with this special collar. Once again this is a fairly basic kind of cat flap, as any other cat in the Coleford area that has a similar style of collar could perhaps gain access to your house. An enhancement to this device is a RF cat flap/collar system which has a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat owner.

Picking a cat flap which can identify your cat's own micro-chip, is the next level in entrance gadgets for felines in Coleford. The number of your cat's micro-chip is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one pet). Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it unlocks and permits solely your microchipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

Whenever you are buying a cat flap, you should make sure it's of a type that can be locked into position. The majority of cat flaps sold today boast a 4-way locking mechanism. This makes it possible for your cat flap to enable exit only, enable access into your premises only, be locked fully, or have two way exit and entrance capability. This provides complete control over how your cat flap functions both throughout the day and during the night. In keeping with your cat's and your needs, there is even the option to carry out specific functions according to the time of day, with several of the higher end devices.

If you're pretty decent at DIY, installing your own cat flap shouldn't be all that difficult, as long as you've got a solid timber door on your Coleford home. Although, if it is going to be installed in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you should on no account even attempt to tackle it by yourself. These sorts of fittings call for a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN COLEFORD

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing window or door panel, send them packing immediately. A new cat flap can not be installed into a pre-existing double glazed door panel or window pane. Cutting into any sort of double glazing will ruin its strength and security, along with its insulation properties. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it shouldn't be done under any circumstances.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazing pane made especially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your local Coleford cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current pane and put in an order for the new one. So the cat flap can be nicely fitted into it, this new double glazed unit will be provided with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its construction. This might take a week or more to manufacture, but it's the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-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. It will now be possible to fit your new cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, solid wood doors are the easiest option when it comes to cat flap installation on your home in Coleford. It's usually best to contact a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you are unsure about cutting a hole in your door. This type of task won't be all that expensive and is worthwhile doing correctly, if getting your cat flap installed by a professional gives you that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be used for installing a cat flap. It is necessary to know the interior construction, since some uPVC doors are steel lined for added security. A one piece door panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be cheaper to replace the panel with a single panel style.

Wall Installation - If, for security or aesthetic reasons, you do not wish to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could always opt to install your cat flap into an external wall of your house in Coleford. A wall cat flap entrance requires a little more equipment and skill to fit, therefore it is definitely best left to a specialist. You can opt for a straight-through tunnel design, or maybe a right angle version which enables access via a pillar. Installation entails a neat square shaped hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. Each end of the hole is then fitted with a cat flap so your furry pal can get in and out of your home whenever it wants.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Coleford - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap fitted, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it's perfectly possible to mount a replacement over the current hole. A decent cat flap installer in Coleford will be capable of removing your old cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the door, window or wall.

Before attaching the new cat flap in a double glazed panel that has been previously pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been made and installed in the right way is vital. The glass panel will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems, if it becomes obvious this is not the case and corners were cut during the earlier installation.
