Cat Flap Fitter Dunstable

Cat Flap Fitter Dunstable Bedfordshire (LU5): To allow your cat the independence it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Dunstable home. Cats tend to get crabby and irritated when constantly kept inside, and not able to roam free. Having a cat that is both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main benefits of allowing your pet accessibility to outside world with a cat flap. If this seems like a good option for you, precisely what form of cat flap should you go with?

The most straightforward kind of cat flap, is simply that. A piece of bendable material hung over a hole in a door to permit a cat to climb through, but keep out the elements. Naturally, this is extremely basic, and won't be sufficient for most Dunstable cat owners, who would doubtless favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their property, although it may be acceptable for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This basic design can be improved on to some degree with magnetic strips to keep the flap in place, however it's still a long way off being ideal since it enables other creatures or cats to enter your house.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. This involves your cat wearing a collar that has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased inside it. Subsequently, any animal that does not have a special collar cannot leave or get into your property. Once again this is a relatively simple kind of cat flap, because any other moggy in the area who has a similar collar can get into your home. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these devices and can be programmed by the cat owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

The next step-up in feline access security is to consider a model of cat flap that identifies your pet's microchip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you've got several cats), to provide exclusive access. Exit and entry can only be achieved by microchipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is close by.

Being able to lock it in place is important whichever cat flap you're purchasing. For extra security, the majority of cat flaps feature a four way locking system these days. This means that the cat flap can permit only exit from your home, enable only entry into your house, be locked fully, or be set for two way entry and exit. This will give you alternatives for all times of night and day, to control how your cat flap operates. Some top-end models can be set to carry out different functions according to the time of day, in line with your cat's and your requirements.

If you are fairly decent at DIY, putting in your own cat flap should not be all that difficult, as long as you have a solid timber door on your Dunstable home. However, if it is going to be installed in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you should under no circumstances even attempt it yourself. These sorts of fixtures call for a professional installation from a dependable cat flap installer or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN DUNSTABLE

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in your double glazing to install your cat flap, stop them at once and ask them to leave. New cat flaps can't be mounted into existing double glazing doors or window panels. Any sort of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will take away its thermal insulation attributes, strength and security. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make the double glazing unsafe.

A reliable Dunstable cat flap fitter will meticulously take the measurements of your existing unit and order a purpose made one from a local glazing company. So the cat flap can be nicely fitted into it, this new double glazing unit will arrive with a pre-cut hole as part of its structure. This might take a week or so to manufacture, however it is really the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. After fabrication, the old glass can be taken out, and the new one put in. The installing of the cat flap can then be completed.

External Wooden Doors - The least complicated option for cat flap installations in Dunstable, as was mentioned previously, are solid timber doors. It is usually wise to bring in a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, if you're nervous about making a hole in your door. This should give you the reassurance that you will finish up with an expertly fitted cat friendly flap, and that the project has been accomplished correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite feasible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. It pays to know the interior construction, since some uPVC 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 might be more cost effective to swap the panel for a single panel type.

Wall Installation - It's also a possibility to have a cat flap installed in an outside wall of your property in Dunstable, if you do not wish to cut holes in your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons. This type of installment is certainly best left to the pros, since it calls for considerably more equipment and skill to accomplish. Most cat flap installations in walls are a simple straight tunnel style, but right angle access via a pillar is also a possibility. This installation calls for a neat square shaped hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted. A suitable cat flap is then attached to each end of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Dunstable - If you've already got a cat flap installed on a wall, window or door, but it's broken or not working correctly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for installing a new one. Your cat flap installer should be able to take off the old cat flap, without harming the surrounding window, wall or door, and fit a new flap in its place for your cat.

Before attaching the new cat flap in double glazing that has been previously pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been fabricated, cut and installed accurately is vital. The pane will need to be taken out and exchanged to avoid any security and safety issues, if it's found this isn't the case and corners were cut in the original installation.
