Cat Flap Fitter Colwyn Bay

Cat Flap Fitter Colwyn Bay Wales (LL29): To give your cat the independence and freedom that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could fit a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Colwyn Bay property. Cats tend to get grumpy and irritated when kept indoors, and not able to roam free. Having access to the world outside with a cat flap will help your furry friend to stay fit, both physically and mentally. So, you are sold on the idea, but what is best style of cat flap for your precious pet?

A cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible piece of material hung over it, to keep the weather out, but permit the cat pass through. Of course, this is very basic, and will not be adequate for most cat owners in Colwyn Bay, who would doubtless prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their house, although it may be acceptable for a fence panel or shed door.

This basic model can be improved on to some degree with magnetic strips to hold the flap in place, however it is still far from ideal as it enables other creatures or cats a means by which to enter into your home.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip version. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar featuring a magnet, RF or IR chip. No animal will be able to leave or get into your property unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. Again this is a relatively basic type of cat flap, because any other moggy in the Colwyn Bay area that has a similar style of collar could perchance access your property. An upgrade to this equipment is a RF cat flap/collar system which provides a unique identifier which can be programmed by the pet's owner. Access is restricted to only your feline friend, resulting in an added layer of control and security.

The type of cat flap which is able to identify your pet's own micro-chip, is the next level in Colwyn Bay feline entrance security. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's microchip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you've got more than one pet it will take multiple entries. Whenever your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it will unlock and allow only your micro-chipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

No matter what cat flap you purchase, it must have the ability to be locked in position. Most cat flaps sold currently have a four way locking system. This makes it possible for your cat flap to enable exit only, permit only entrance into your house, be locked fully, or have 2-way exit and entry capability. This offers you a variety of solutions on exactly how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night time. The facility to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on yours and your pet's requirements is also an option with some of the top-end models of cat flap.

If you've got a timber door in your home in Colwyn Bay, fitting you own cat flap should not be that hard. Although, if it has to be installed into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you should on no account even attempt it yourself. These sorts of fittings require a professional installation from a reliable cat flap fitter or handyman with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN COLWYN BAY

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap is going to be mounted on a double glazed panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the job straight away and give them their walking orders. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into an existing double glazed door panel or window pane. Making a hole in your double glazing damages not simply the strength and security of the panel, but it removes the insulation properties as well. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsound.

A trustworthy Colwyn Bay cat flap installer will meticulously get the dimensions of your existing pane and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing supplier. This new panel will have a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure where the cat flap will be fitted. This can take a week or so to manufacture, but it is really the only way to install a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door. Once your new panel of glass shows up, the installer will take out the old one, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. It's now possible to install and set up the cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - The easiest option for installing a new cat flap in Colwyn Bay, as was mentioned previously, are wooden doors. If you're somewhat unsure of cutting a sizeable hole in your door, you might be better off contacting an expert cat flap fitter or handyman instead. A project like this is comparatively inexpensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your pet will be using an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in many cases. You'll have to verify what the interior structure of you door actually is, because for extra security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. A one-piece panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be cheaper to replace the panel with a single pane type.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to have a cat flap fitted in an outside wall of your property in Colwyn Bay, if you do not want to cut holes in your doors, either for security or aesthetic reasons. Needing far more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is undoubtedly better left to a specialist, if it is to be executed correctly. There are a couple of options for this kind of installation, including a straight-through tunnel design, or a right angled (through pillar) pattern. A square hole will be cut through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. A suitable cat flap can then be fitted to both sides of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Colwyn Bay - If you already have a cat flap installed on your wall, window or door, but it is broken or not working properly, the current hole can hopefully be re-used for installing a new one. You local cat flap fitter will remove the unwanted cat flap, without damaging the window, door or wall, and fit a brand new flap for your cat.

Before installing the new cat flap in a double glazing panel which has been pre-cut, making certain that the existing glass has been cut and installed correctly is essential. The glass will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety issues, if you discover that this is not the case and corners were cut in the original installation.
