Cat Flap Fitter East Leake

Cat Flap Fitter East Leake Nottinghamshire (LE12): The installation of a cat flap to an external door or wall in your house in East Leake, will enable it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own bit of independence and freedom. When kept inside, cats much like people, will get crabby and irritated. Having a cat that is both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main benefits of giving your pet access to the world outside by means of a cat flap. So, you're sold on the idea, but exactly what is perfect type of cat flap for your pet?

The most fundamental form of cat flap, is just that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible piece of material hung over it, to keep out the elements, but allow the cat move through. Although this could be suitable in an outhouse or shed door, the vast majority of East Leake cat owners would favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their house.

This uncomplicated model can be to some degree improved on with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, but it's still a long way off being perfect as it enables other cats or animals to get into your home.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap, are the next step up from the magnetic strip version. This requires that your cat wears a collar that's got either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased within it. This means that any animal that does not have a special collar can't get into or leave your property. Once again this is a fairly simple form of cat flap, as any other moggy in the neighbourhood who has a similar model of collar will be able to access your home. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these devices as they can be programmed by the householder to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet. Access is limited to your furry friend alone, delivering an extra layer of security and control.

The next level in feline entry security is to use the type of cat flap that can be triggered by your pet's own micro-chip. You have to enter the details of your cat's micro-chip into the memory the cat flap (which is powered by batteries), and if you've got more than one cat it will take multiple entries. The flap is unlocked when your cat is in close proximity, only allowing entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.

When you are buying a cat flap, you should make sure it is of a type that can be locked. The majority of cat flaps sold nowadays boast a 4-way locking mechanism. This allows your cat flap to permit only entry into your home, enable only exit from your home, be fully locked, or have two-way entry and exit functionality. This offers complete control over the functioning of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. In keeping with yours and your cat's needs, there is even the option to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with a number of the top-end devices.

If you're pretty decent at DIY, fitting your own cat flap should not be that difficult, as long as you have a solid timber door on your East Leake home. Under no circumstances should you attempt to install a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These situations call for the skills and expertise of an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, who is sure to have have all the equipment and knowledge for this type of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN EAST LEAKE

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap has to be mounted on a double glazed door or window panel, and your hired "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop them right away and give them the boot. It is simply not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Drilling or cutting into any kind of double glazing will ruin its strength and security, together with its thermal properties. In fact, it renders the glazing unsafe and it should never be attempted.

An experienced cat flap installer will take the measurements of the existing double glazing unit and have a local glazing company make a new purpose made one. As a part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed neatly into. This could take a couple of weeks to produce, but it is really the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door. Once you've taken possession of your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new unit fitted. It will now be possible to install the new cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, wooden door panels are the least complicated alternative with regards to installing a new cat flap on your property in East Leake. If you are a little dubious about creating a hole in your door, you might be happier getting in touch with a specialist carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. A project like this should not be expensive and will provide you with peace of mind that your pet has an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be sometimes be suitable for a cat flap. You or your installer will have to determine what the internal construction of you door actually is, because for extra security certain uPVC door panels are manufactured with a steel lining. A one-piece door panel allows for simpler installation, so if you have a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be cheaper to exchange this panel for a single pane style.

Wall Installation - It is also a possibility to get a cat flap installed on an exterior wall of your property in East Leake, if you do not want to cut holes in your doors, whether for aesthetic or safety reasons. A wall cat flap entrance requires a bit more equipment and skill to install, therefore it's certainly best left to a professional. The majority of wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angular access through a pillar is also an option. A neat square shaped hole will be cut through your selected wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so that your feline friend can get in and out of your house whenever it desires.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in East Leake - If your door, wall or window is already fitted with a cat flap, but it isn't working, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A reliable cat flap fitter in East Leake will be capable of removing the old,unwanted cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without damaging the window, wall or door.

If the substitute cat flap is being installed in a pre cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must make sure that the glass has been fabricated, cut and installed accurately. The glass panel will need to be removed and substituted to avoid any security and safety problems, if it becomes obvious that this is not the case and corners were cut in the earlier installation.

THE CONVENIENCE OF CAT FLAPS

Cat flaps offer a number of advantages for both owners and their cats:

1. A Reduction in Door Scratching: The frustration of waiting to be let out and in can lead to destructive scratching behaviour near doors. Cat flaps provide an alternative exit and entry point, potentially reducing this undesired behaviour.
2. Reduced Litter Box Odours: Outdoor access for your cat may mean less frequent litter box use, leading to fewer cleanings and potentially reducing unpleasant odours in your dwelling.
3. Enhanced Security: Many cat flaps are equipped with locking mechanisms that can be set to allow entry only to specific cats or to keep unwanted visitors out. This feature enhances home security by preventing the entry of stray animals or potential threats.
4. Better Control: You can synchronise some high-tech cat flaps with your cat's microchip or a special collar tag, making them programmable to ensure only your cat has access, thus offering complete oversight of their comings and goings.
5. Convenience for Owners: The necessity for owners to pause their daily routines to allow their cats entry or exit is eliminated. This proves especially advantageous for those with busy lives or irregular timetables.
6. Reduced Stress: Cat flaps alleviate the burden of constantly having to monitor and open the door for your cat, reducing stress for both you and your furry friend, who can now independently enter and exit without waiting for your help.
7. Independence for Cats: Cat flaps offer cats, inherently independent, the opportunity to explore, exercise, and satisfy their curiosity as they wish, which can result in increased happiness and health.

Cat flap weatherproofing is vital for upholding the comfort and safety of outdoor and indoor cats. Both the feline and the occupants benefit from a dry and warm environment due to a well-weatherproofed cat flap, which prevents wind, cold draughts and rain from seeping into the house. To create a tight barrier against the elements, search for cat flaps designed with high-quality seals and insulating materials. An extra option to shield the entrance from harsh climatic conditions is the installation of a weatherproof tunnel extension. The cat flap's ability to provide a cosy and weather-protected space for your cat is upheld through regular maintenance, including checking seals for deterioration.
