Cat Flap Fitter Downend

Cat Flap Fitter Downend Gloucestershire (BS16): Installing a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Downend property provides your cat with the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats are inclined to get irritated and grumpy when continuously kept inside, and not able to roam. Having a cat that's both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main benefits of giving your cat access to the world outside by way of a cat flap. So, you think it's a great idea, but which is best style of cat flap for your pet?

A cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A bit of flexible material fixed over a hole in a door to permit a cat to pass through it, but keep out the elements. While this could be suitable in a garden fence panel or outhouse door, the vast majority of Downend cat owners would no doubt favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their home.

Because this solution permits other cats or creatures to enter your property, it isn't at all ideal, although it can be enhanced a little by holding the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap, are the next step up from the magnetic strip variation. This requires that your cat wears a collar that has either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased within it. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will not be able to open the flap and access or leave your house, therefore keeping out some undesirable visitors. Again this is a pretty basic kind of cat flap, given that any other cat in the neighbourhood who has a similar collar can easily access your property. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to a certain degree with an RF cat flap and collar system having an owner programmed unique identifier.

The next stage in feline access security is to choose the kind of cat flap that recognises your cat's own micro-chip. You have to enter the number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you have several cats it will take multiple entries. Exit and entry can only be achieved by microchipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked whenever you cat is close by.

Being able to lock it in place is important no matter what cat flap you are buying. Currently, almost all cat flaps available on the market boast a 4-way locking mechanism for added flexibility. This means that the cat flap can allow exit only, be locked fully, allow only admittance into your home, or be set for two way entry and exit. This gives you a number of choices on how your cat flap works any time of the day and night. In keeping with your cat's and your needs, there's even the option to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, with a number of the higher end devices.

If you've got a timber door on your home in Downend, putting in a cat flap yourself shouldn't be too difficult. But, if you are hoping to fit it into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you ought to seek outside help. These sorts of fittings call for a professional installation from a reputable cat flap fitter or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN DOWNEND

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while trying to fit your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, send them packing immediately. A new cat flap can not be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any sort of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will damage its thermal insulation attributes, strength and security. Your double glazing will be made unsound, and it should never be done under any circumstances.

A reliable Downend cat flap fitter will carefully measure up your current unit and order a custom-made one from a local glazing supplier. To ensure that your cat flap can be snugly installed into it, this new glazed pane will be provided with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure. This may take two weeks or so to manufacture, but it is the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. Once you have taken possession of your new pane of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new one installed. Your cat flap will then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The least complicated alternative for new cat flap installations in Downend, as was mentioned previously, are solid wood door panels. If you are nervous about creating a hole in your door, it's wise to call on a specialist to complete the task for you. This kind of project will not be expensive and will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that your kitty will be using an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite possible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. It pays to know the internal construction, as some doors are lined with steel for added security. A one piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be less expensive to replace the panel with a single panel model.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into a door, you could always elect to install your cat flap in an external wall of your property. This sort of installment is definitely best left to an expert, as it calls for much more equipment and skill to accomplish. You could choose a straightforward tunnel style, or perhaps a right angle version which permits entry via a pillar. A square shaped hole will need to be made through your wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. Each end of the hole is then installed with an appropriate cat flap so your furry friend can get in and out of your house whenever it wants.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Downend - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either damaged or not working properly, the existing hole in your wall, door or window can still be used providing that the new cat flap is of an equivalent size. An experienced Downend cat flap fitter will gladly remove your old entry device and swap it for a new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the door, window or wall on which it is mounted.

When the cat flap installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it will be necessary to make certain that this was previously done correctly, before fitting the new flap. If you discover that this isn't the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the pane will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues.
