Cat Flap Fitter Flitwick

Cat Flap Fitter Flitwick Bedfordshire (MK45): Fitting a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Flitwick property provides your cat with the independence that it needs to live a happy life. When constantly kept indoors, cats just like people, will get irritated and grouchy. Having accessibility to outside world via a cat flap will help your cat to stay fit, both physically and mentally. But, what type of cat flap is the best solution in your case?

The most rudimentry type of cat flap is basically that. A hole is cut into a door and a flexible material is hung over it to offer a bit of protection from the elements. Of course, this is really basic, and won't be good enough for most cat owners in Flitwick, who would doubtless prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their property, although it might be appropriate for a garden fence panel or shed door.

This uncomplicated model is still a long way off being perfect as it allows other animals or cats to enter your house, but it can be improved upon with the addition of magnetic strips to keep the flap in position.

Moving on from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap. This requires your cat to wear a collar that's got either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased inside it. No animal will be able to leave or access your property unless it is fitted with one of these special collars. The downside here is that any other moggy in the area that has a similar style of collar might be able to access your house when using this sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these products as they can be programmed by the owner of the cat to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat. Providing an added layer of security and control, this makes sure that only your furry companion gains access.

The kind of cat flap that's can be operated by your cat's micro-chip, is the next step-up in feline access security. The details of your cat's microchip are programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you have several cats). Entry and exit can only be achieved by microchipped pets, and the flap is unfastened when you cat is close by.

Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you should ensure that it is of a type that can be locked. Nowadays, almost all cat flaps on the market feature a four way locking system for extra security. Which means that it has the capability to be locked fully, enable exit from your property only, permit only entry into your property, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This gives you a range of options on precisely how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night time. The wherewithal to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on yours and your cat's needs is also an option with some of the top-end brands of cat flap.

Fitting a cat flap on your own can be really simple if you've got a solid wood door on your Flitwick property, and respectable DIY capabilities. Although, if it has to be fitted into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should under no circumstances even attempt it by yourself. These kinds of fittings require a professional installation by a reliable cat flap fitter or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN FLITWICK

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap needs to be installed in a double glazed door or window panel, and your appointed "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the work immediately and give them their marching orders. New cat flaps can't be installed into existing double glazing window or door panels. Drilling holes in any sort of double glazing will damage its security and strength, as well as its insulation properties. Your double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be done in any circumstances.

A dependable Flitwick cat flap fitter will diligently take the measurements of your current unit and order a purpose made one from a local glazing firm. As part of its structure this new double glazing panel will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be fitted neatly into. You might have a 1 or 2 week waiting period for this pane to be manufactured, but if you need a cat flap installed into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is the only way to do it. Once you have received your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new one installed. It will now be possible to fit the new cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As mentioned earlier in this article, timber door panels are the simplest alternative in relation to cat flap installation on your property in Flitwick. It is often better to employ the expert services of a professional cat flap fitter or handyman, if you are at all hesitant about making a hole in your front or back door. This should provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that you are going to wind up with a professionally installed cat friendly flap, and that the job has been completed correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite feasible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. It pays to know the interior construction, since some uPVC door panels are steel lined for further security. A one piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be less expensive to swap the panel for a single pane style.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to get a cat flap fitted in an external wall of your house in Flitwick, if you don't wish to have a hole cut in one of your doors, whether for security or aesthetic reasons. This kind of installment is certainly best left to a professional, because it calls for far more equipment and skill to accomplish. You could opt for a straightforward tunnel style, or perhaps a right angle version which enables access via a pillar. Installation entails a neat square shaped hole being cut through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. A suitable cat flap is then mounted on each side of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Flitwick - If you already have a cat flap installed on a wall, window or door, but it's broken or not functioning correctly, the existing hole can, with luck, still be used for the installation of a new one. A reputable cat flap fitter in Flitwick will be able to remove the old cat flap, and fix a new one in its place without harming the door, wall or window.

If the substitute cat flap is being fitted in a pre cut hole in a double glazing panel, you must double check that the glass has been manufactured, cut and installed in the right way. The glass will have to be taken out and substituted to avoid any safety and security issues, if it becomes obvious this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
