Cat Flap Fitter Fairford

Cat Flap Fitter Fairford Gloucestershire (GL7): To give your cat the independence and freedom it needs to live a life of contentment, you could fit a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Fairford property. Cats that are kept indoors, as with humans, can show signs of irritation. Having accessibility to outside world via a cat flap will help your pet to remain fit, both mentally and physically. If you choose to go with the cat flap option, you will then have to determine what type of cat flap would be best for you.

A cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole is cut in an outside door and a flexible material is hung over it to offer a bit of protection from the weather. Of course, this is extremely basic, and will not be adequate for most Fairford cat owners, who would doubtless favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house, although it may be suitable for an outhouse or shed door.

As this solution allows other creatures or cats to enter your house, it's not at all ideal, though it can be enhanced somewhat by keeping the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are a significant step up from the magnetic strip variation. In this case, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. No animal will be able to leave or access your property unless it is fitted with this special collar. The drawback here is that any other cat in the area who's got a similar model of collar could possible gain access to your home when using this type of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these products because they can be programmed by the cat's owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

A cat flap which is capable of identifying your pet's micro-chip, is the next stage in feline access security. The number of your cat's microchip is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one cat). When your cat is close to the flap, it unlocks and permits only your micro-chipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

Being able to lock it in place is vital regardless which cat flap you are buying. Nowadays, most cat flaps on the market boast a 4-way locking system for added flexibility. Which means it's got the capability to enable only exit from your home, enable access into your property only, be locked fully, or be put in two way exit and entry mode. This offers you options for all times of day and night, to have control over precisely how your cat flap functions. A few of the top-end devices can be programmed to carry out different functions according to the time of day, based on your cat's and your requirements.

If you're fairly decent at DIY, fitting a cat flap shouldn't be too difficult, if you have a wooden door on your home in Fairford. On no account should you attempt to fit a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window. These situations call for the skills and expertise of a competent cat flap fitter or odd job man, who will have all the equipment and knowledge for this kind of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN FAIRFORD

Double Glazing Installation - If you hire somebody who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to put in your new cat flap, stop them right away and ask them to leave. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazed door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazing will be ruined by cutting or drilling into it, and will detract from its security, strength and thermal insulation properties. Your double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should not be done in any circumstances whatsoever.

A trustworthy Fairford cat flap fitter will diligently get the dimensions of your current pane and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing company. As part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be installed snugly into. This may take a couple of weeks to manufacture, however it is really the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door. When your new panel of glass shows up, the installer will take out the old unit, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" one. It's now possible to install the cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - Wooden doors are, as I mentioned above, the simplest alternatives for new cat flap installation in Fairford. If you're a little dubious about creating an opening in your front door, you may be happier bringing in an expert handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This should give you the peace of mind that you are going to end up with an expertly fitted cat flap, and that the job has been carried out properly and without causing damage to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in most cases. Having said that, some uPVC doors are lined with steel for further security, which could cause issues. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted type panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single pane.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a hole cut into a door, you could choose to install the cat flap into an outside wall of your property in Fairford. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires a bit more equipment and expertise to fit, so it is definitely best left to the pros. You could go for a straightforward tunnel style, or even a right angle model that enables access via a pillar. A neat square hole will need to be cut through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. A cat flap can then be installed on both ends of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Fairford - If your wall, door or window is already fitted with a cat flap, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to fit a replacement into the existing hole. Your cat flap fitter will be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, without damaging the surrounding window, door or wall, and install a new flap in its place for your cat.

When your installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be necessary to check that this was previously done correctly, before attaching the new flap. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge up, the glass will need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems with the new cat flap.
