Cat Flap Fitter Frimley

Cat Flap Fitter Frimley Surrey (GU16): Fitting a cat flap doesn't just save you the headache of opening the door every time your cat needs to go in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and boosts it's overall quality of life. Cats are inclined to get crabby and irritated when kept indoors, and not allowed to roam. Having access to the outside world via a cat flap will help your cat to stay fit, both physically and mentally. But what style of cat flap is best in your case?

The simplest style of cat flap is essentially that. A sheet of bendable material hung over a hole in a door to permit a cat to pass through it, but keep out the elements. Obviously, this is very basic, and will not be sufficient for most cat owners in Frimley, who would doubtless prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their property, although it could be acceptable for an outhouse door or fence panel.

This uncomplicated design can be somewhat improved upon with magnetic strips to hold the flap in position, however it is still a long way off being perfect as it enables other creatures or cats a way to get into your property.

The next step up from the magnetic strip design are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. In this case, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be sewn into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it won't be able to trigger the flap and leave or get into your home, thus avoiding some unwelcome visitors. Once again this is a fairly basic type of cat flap, given that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who has a similar collar can access your home. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of this equipment as they can be programmed by the user to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet.

The type of cat flap that's can be recognised by your cat's micro-chip, is the next stage in feline entry security. You have to enter the number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you have more than one cat it will accept multiple entries. When your cat comes into close vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to exit or enter.

When you are purchasing a cat flap, you must ensure that it is of a design that can be locked into position. Most cat flaps sold today feature a four way locking system. Which means that it's got the capability to permit only entrance into your property, be locked fully, permit exit only, or be put in two way exit and entry mode. This will provide you with choices for all times of night and day, to have control over exactly how your cat flap works. The facility to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, and in line with your cat's and your requirements is also a possibility with some of the more advanced models of cat flap.

If you're fairly good at DIY, fitting your own cat flap shouldn't be too difficult, as long as you've got a solid timber door on your Frimley home. But, if you are hoping to fit it in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you ought to seek outside assistance. Such situations require the expertise and skills of a professional cat flap installer or odd job man, who is sure to have have the knowledge and equipment for this type of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN FRIMLEY

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to employ somebody who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your new cat flap, stop them immediately and request that they leave. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Any sort of double glazed unit will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will detract from its security, strength and thermal insulation attributes. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsafe.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazed panel made especially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Frimley cat flap fitter will measure your existing panel and order the new one. To ensure that the cat flap can be neatly fitted into it, this new double glazed pane will be provided with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure. This is really the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, although it may take a week or two to produce. As soon as your new panel of glass is delivered, the installer will take out the old unit, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. Your cat flap will then be mounted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The least complicated alternative for cat flap installations in Frimley, as was stated earlier, are wooden door panels. If you're a bit uncomfortable with cutting a sizeable hole in your door, you may be better off hiring an expert carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This sort of task won't be too costly and is well worth doing properly, if getting your cat flap installed by a professional gives you that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be suitable for installing a cat flap. Having said that, certain uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for further security, which could cause issues. The simplest kind of cat flap installation is in doors with a single panel, subsequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be cheaper and easier overall to exchange the slatted pane for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for security or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could always choose to install your cat flap on an outside wall of your house in Frimley. This sort of installment is certainly best left to an expert, because it requires far more equipment and skill to execute. Nearly all wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnelled style, but right angled access via a pillar is also a possibility. Installation involves a neat square shaped hole being cut through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted. Each end of the hole is then installed with a cat flap so that your furry friend can enter and exit your home whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Frimley - If your door, window or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it's not working properly, or is damaged, it's quite possible to mount a replacement over the current hole. A reliable cat flap fitter in Frimley will be capable of removing the old,unwanted cat flap, and fit a brand new one in its place without damaging the door, window or wall.

When your installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be necessary to make certain that this was previously done in the right way, before fixing the new flap. If it's found this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the panel will need to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues.
