Cat Flap Fitter Diss Norfolk (IP22): Fitting a cat flap to an external door or wall in your property in Diss, will enable it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own bit of freedom and independence. Cats tend to get irritated and crabby when continuously kept inside, and not allowed to roam. Giving your furry friend accessibility to world outside by means of a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. So, you're sold on the idea, but what is best sort of cat flap for your pet?
A cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole is cut into an outside door and a bendable material is fixed over it to offer some protection from the elements. The majority of cat owners in Diss would favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house, although this might be appropriate for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.
Since this option allows other cats or animals to enter your property, it's not at all ideal, though it can be enhanced to some degree by holding the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.
Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red variations of cat flap. This involves your cat wearing a collar that's got either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased within it. No animal will be able to access or leave your home unless it is fitted with one of these special collars. The downside here is that any other moggy in the area who has a similar model of collar can gain access to your property when using this kind of cat flap. An enhancement to this product is an RF cat flap and collar system which provides a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat owner.
Choosing a cat flap that can identify your pet's own microchip, is the next level in access security for felines. The number of your cat's microchip is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one pet). The flap is unlocked anytime your cat is nearby, only permitting access to animals that are microchipped.
Whatever cat flap you buy, it should be capable of being locked in position. Most cat flaps sold today have a 4-way locking mechanism. Which means it has the capability to permit access into your property only, enable only exit from your home, be fully locked, or be put in two-way entry and exit mode. This will give you a range of options on how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night time. In keeping with your pet's and your needs, there is even the possibility to perform particular functions according to the time of day, with several of the higher end models.
If you've got a wooden door on your house in Diss, installing you own cat flap shouldn't be all that complicated. But, if you are planning to fit it in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you ought to seek outside assistance. This sort of installation will require the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and skilled carpenters who'll be happy to accept such a task.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN DISS
Double Glazing Installations - If you hire somebody who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to install your new cat flap, stop them at once and request that they leave. A new cat flap cannot be fitted into a pre-existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Making a hole in the double glazing destroys not just the strength and security of the glazing, but it removes the insulation attributes too. It should under no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsound.
It will be necessary to get a new double glazed panel made especially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your chosen Diss cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current panel and order the new one. So that the cat flap can be snugly fitted into it, this new glazed pane will arrive with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure. This is the only way to install a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it can take two weeks or so to produce. After fabrication, your old glass unit can be taken out, and the new adapted one put in. The installing of your cat flap can then be carried out.
External Wooden Doors - Solid wood doors are, as already mentioned, the simplest options for new cat flap installation in Diss. It is often better to bring in a competent handyman or cat flap fitter, if you're at all uncertain about cutting a big hole in your back or front door. This will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that you'll end up with an expertly fitted cat friendly flap, and that the job has been undertaken properly.
uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be often be fitted with a cat flap. However, some uPVC doors have a steel lining for additional security, which may cause some issues. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted style panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single panel.
Wall Installation - If you don't want to cut holes in your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons, you could have a cat flap installed on an outside wall. Needing considerably more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is certainly better left to a professional, if it's to be executed successfully. You'll find there are a number of possibilities for this installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angled (through pillar) style. With this kind of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly made into your wall. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on either end to permit your cat to exit and enter as it pleases.
Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Diss - If you've already got a cat flap installed on a door, window or wall, but it is damaged or not working correctly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for installing a replacement. A specialist Diss cat flap fitter will gladly remove your old unit and swap it for a new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the wall, window or door on which it is secured.
Before installing the new cat flap in a double glazing pane that's been pre-cut, checking that the current glass has been manufactured and installed in the right way is essential. If you discover that this isn't the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the glass unit will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.
