Finchampstead Cat Flap Installation & Repair

Cat Flap Fitter Finchampstead Berkshire (RG40): To provide your cat with the independence and freedom it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Finchampstead property. Cats are like people in many ways, and will sometimes show signs of frustration and unease if kept indoors for long periods of time without a break. Having a cat that's both mentally and physically fit, is just one of the positive aspects of giving your furry friend access to the world outside by way of a cat flap. So, you think it's a great idea, but which is perfect kind of cat flap for your precious pet?

The most basic form of cat flap, is simply that. A hole in a door with a flexible sheet of material fixed over it, to give protection from the elements, but let the cat climb through. Most Finchampstead cat owners would no doubt favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their property, although this may be appropriate for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This simple design can be improved on with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, however it's still far from ideal because it enables other creatures or cats a way to get into your property.

The next step up from the magnetic strip style are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this kind of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar boasting an IR, RF chip or magnet. No animal is going to be able to get into or leave your home unless it's fitted with this special collar. Again this is a pretty basic form of cat flap, given that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that's got a similar model of collar could perhaps access your house. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to a certain extent with an RF cat flap and collar system featuring an owner programmed unique identifier. With this, an added layer of control and security is established to ensure that only your purrfect companion gains access.

The next level in feline access security is to choose a cat flap which identifies your pet's micro-chip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. When your cat is close to the flap, it will unlock and permit just your micro-chipped pets to enter or exit.

Whatever cat flap you buy, it must be capable of being locked in position. The majority of cat flaps sold today feature a four way locking mechanism. Which means that it's got the capability to allow only entrance into your home, allow only exit from your home, be locked fully, or be put in two way exit and entry mode. This offers complete control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night. In keeping with yours and your cat's needs, there is even the possibility to perform different functions according to the time of day, with a number of the more advanced devices.

If you're pretty decent at DIY, fitting a cat flap should not be too difficult, if you've got a solid timber door on your home in Finchampstead. However, if it has to be installed in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you should not even attempt to tackle it yourself. This type of installation calls for the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap installers and talented carpenters who'll be happy to take on such a task.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN FINCHAMPSTEAD

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing window or door panel, immediately send them on their way. A new cat flap cannot be fitted into an existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Making a hole in the double glazing damages not simply the strength and security of the panel, but it compromises the insulating properties too. The double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it shouldn't be done under any circumstances.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazing pane made especially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Finchampstead cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your existing panel and put in an order for the new one. As an integral part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed nicely into. This is really the only way to install a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door, although it may take one or two weeks to produce. Once you have received your new pane of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new panel fitted. The fitting of your cat flap can then be completed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The easiest option for new cat flap installations in Finchampstead, as was stated earlier, are solid timber door panels. If you are unsure of creating a hole in your front door, it's probably a good idea to bring in a specialist to complete the task for you. An undertaking like this will not be expensive and will provide you with the assurance of knowing that your kitty has a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally speaking be installed into uPVC doors. You or your installer will have to ascertain what the interior structure of you door actually is, since for added security some uPVC door panels are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. A one-piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it might be less expensive to exchange this panel for a single panel type.

Wall Installation - It is also a possibility to get a cat flap fitted into an external wall of your property in Finchampstead, if you don't want to cut chunks out of your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires considerably more equipment and expertise to install, so it's certainly better left to a professional. Almost all cat flap installations in walls are a simple straight tunnel style, but right angle access through a pillar is also an option. A neat square hole will be cut through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, open ended square tube. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so your feline friend can get in and out of your house whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Finchampstead - If you've already got a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not operating correctly, the current hole in your window, wall or door can be used for a replacement provided that the new flap is of an equivalent size. A decent cat flap fitter in Finchampstead will efficiently remove your unwanted cat flap, and fit a brand new one in its place without damaging the window, door or wall.

Before fitting the new cat flap in a double glazing pane that has been pre-cut, confirming that the current glass has been cut and installed accurately is vital. If the previous installation was a bodge up, the glass will have to be removed and exchanged to avoid any safety and security problems with the new flap.
