Cat Flap Fitter Croxley Green

Cat Flap Fitter Croxley Green Hertfordshire (WD3): Fitting a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Croxley Green property provides your cat with the freedom and independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Much like humans, when kept indoors, cats will sometimes show signs of anxiety and frustration. Having easy access to world outside with a cat flap will help your furry friend to remain fit, both physically and mentally. So, you think it's a great idea, but exactly what is best kind of cat flap for your pet?

A cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A hole is cut into an outside door and a bendable material is hung over the gap to offer some protection from the weather. The vast majority of cat owners in Croxley Green would no doubt favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their house, although this could be okay for a shed or outhouse door.

This basic model can be slightly improved upon with magnetic strips to hold the flap in place, however it is still far from ideal since it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to get into your home.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red variations of cat flap. This requires that your cat wears a collar which has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased in it. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it won't be able to open the flap and leave or get into your property, therefore avoiding some unwelcome visitors. The point that any other cat in the neighbourhood that's got a similar style of collar can gain access to your property, is the downside with this sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these devices as they can be programmed by the home owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

The next step-up in feline entrance security is to choose a model of cat flap which recognises your cat's microchip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to give exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped animals, and the flap is unfastened when you cat is nearby.

Being able to lock it in place is vital regardless which cat flap you're buying. For extra flexibility, almost all cat flaps feature a 4-way locking system these days. This allows your cat flap to be locked fully, enable exit from your property only, permit entrance into your premises only, or have two way exit and entrance functionality. This will give you choices for all times of night and day, to control exactly how your cat flap works. Some of the more expensive cat flaps can be set to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, based on your pet's and your requirements.

Installing a cat flap by yourself can be really easy if you've got a solid wood door, and reasonable do-it-yourself skills. But, if you are intending to install it in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you must seek outside help. Such situations call for the expertise and skills of a reputable cat flap fitter or odd job man, who is certain to have have all the equipment and knowledge for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN CROXLEY GREEN

Double Glazing Installation - If you hire someone who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your cat flap, stop them right away and request that they leave. It's just not possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Any sort of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will detract from its security, thermal insulation properties and strength. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsound.

A professional cat flap installer will measure up your current double glazing unit and have a local Croxley Green glazing company make a new purpose made pane. As a part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed neatly into. You might have a one or two week wait for this pane to be produced, but if it's necessary to have a cat flap installed in an existing double glazed or patio door, this is really the only way to accomplish it. Once you have obtained your new adapted pane of glass, the old unit can be taken out and the new one fitted. The installation of the cat flap will then be carried out.

External Wooden Doors - As mentioned earlier in this article, timber door panels are the simplest option with regards to installing a new cat flap on your property in Croxley Green. It is often wise to bring in a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, if you are dubious about cutting a hole in your back or front door. A project like this is fairly inexpensive and will provide you with the assurance of knowing that your pet will be using a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite feasible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You or your installer will have to find out what the interior structure of you door is, since for extra security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a steel lining. The models of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted style door panel, it might be advisable to swap this for a single pane.

Wall Installation - If you do not really wish to have a hole cut into your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed in an outside wall. This sort of installment is certainly better left to a professional, as it calls for far more skill and equipment to accomplish. There are several options for this installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angled (through pillar) pattern. A square shaped hole will be cut through your wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. A cat flap can then be mounted on each side of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Croxley Green - If you've already got a cat flap installed on your window, wall or door, but it's damaged or not working properly, the existing hole can, with luck, still be used for the installation of a new one. A trustworthy cat flap fitter in Croxley Green will be capable of removing your unwanted cat flap, and mount a brand new one as a replacement without causing damage to the surrounding window, wall or door.

If the replacement cat flap is going to be fitted into a pre cut hole in a double glazing panel, you must double check that the glass has been made, cut and installed correctly. The panel will have to be removed and substituted to avoid any security and safety issues, if you discover this isn't the case and corners were cut during the original installation.
