Cat Flap Fitter Darwen

Cat Flap Fitter Darwen Lancashire (BB3): The installation of a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your house in Darwen, will enable it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own bit of freedom and independence. When constantly kept inside, cats just like people, will get irritated and grouchy. Having access to the outside world by way of a cat flap will help your furry friend to remain fit, both mentally and physically. If you opt to go with the cat flap option, your next decision will be what kind of cat flap would be best.

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is just that. A hole is cut in an external door and a flexible material is placed over the gap to give a bit of some protection from the elements. Naturally, this is really basic, and won't be sufficient for most Darwen cat owners, who would doubtless prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although it might be okay for an outhouse door or fence panel.

As this solution can allow other cats or animals to enter your property, it's not at all recommended, although it can be improved on somewhat by holding the flap in position with the addition of a magnetic strip.

A step up from the magnetic strip version are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. With these, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will not be able to open the flap and leave or access your property, hence preventing some undesirable visitors. The drawback is that any other cat in the neighbourhood who's got a similar style of collar may be able to gain access to your house when using this kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these devices and can be programmed by the home owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet.

The next stage in feline access security is to install the kind of cat flap that recognises your pet's micro-chip. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you've got several cats), to provide exclusive access. Whenever your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and allows only your micro-chipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

Being able to lock it in position is important no matter what cat flap you're buying. For extra security, the majority of cat flaps feature a 4-way locking system nowadays. This allows your cat flap to be locked fully, enable only admittance into your home, enable exit only, or have 2-way entry and exit functionality. This gives complete control over how your cat flap operates both during the day and throughout the night time. Some more expensive devices can be set to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, in line with your cat's and your needs.

Putting in a cat flap by yourself can be quite easy if you have a solid wood door on your Darwen house, and reasonable DIY abilities. On no account should you attempt to install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. This type of installation requires the attention of a pro, and there are specialist cat flap installers and talented carpenters who will be delighted to accept such a task.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN DARWEN

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while trying to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, send them on their way immediately. A new cat flap can't be installed into an existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Drilling holes in any kind of double glazing will destroy its strength and security, together with its thermal properties. In actual fact, it makes your glazing unsafe and it shouldn't ever be attempted.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazing panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your local Darwen cat flap fitter will measure your existing pane and put in an order for a brand new one. As part of its construction this new double glazed pane will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed neatly into. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, even though it might take a week or more to produce. Once you've taken possession of your new panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new one fitted. Your cat flap will then be mounted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Wooden door panels are, as already stated, the simplest alternatives for cat flap installation in Darwen. If you are unsure about creating a hole in your door, it's it may be better to contact a professional to undertake the project for you. An undertaking like this will not be expensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your cat can enjoy a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be suitable for installing a cat flap. You or your fitter will need to verify what the internal construction of you door actually is, since for extra security certain uPVC door panels are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. The simplest type of cat flap installation is in doors with a single panel, therefore if you have a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be cheaper and easier in the long run to exchange the slats for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If you do not wish to have a hole cut into your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons, you could always have a cat flap installed within an outside wall. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a little more equipment and expertise to install, so it is definitely best left to a specialist. Almost all cat flap installations in walls involve a basic straight tunnelled style, but right angular access via a pillar is also possible. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted into a square shaped hole cut out of your wall. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so your furry friend can exit and enter the house whenever it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Darwen - If you've already got a cat flap installed on your door, window or wall, but it's damaged or not working correctly, the current hole can hopefully be re-used for the installation of a new one. You local cat flap fitter will be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, without damaging the surrounding door, window or wall, and fit a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

If the substitute cat flap is going to be fitted in a pre cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must make certain that the glass has been manufactured and installed accurately. If you discover that this is not the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the glass must be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.
