Cat Flap Fitter Gainsborough

Cat Flap Fitter Gainsborough Lincolnshire (DN21): A great way to give your cat more independence and enrich it's overally quality of life is to install a cat flap on an external door or wall of your house in Gainsborough. Cats tend to get irritated and crabby when constantly kept indoors, and not allowed to roam. Allowing your cat easy access to outside world via a cat flap can help keep them mentally and physically fit. However, what style of cat flap is better for your circumstances?

The most basic sort of cat flap, is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable bit of material placed over it, to keep out the elements, but allow the cat move through. Most cat owners in Gainsborough would doubtless prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their property, although this could be suitable for an outhouse or shed door.

This basic design can be somewhat improved upon with magnetic strips to hold the flap in position, however it's still a long way from being perfect since it enables other animals or cats a way to get into your home.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar fitted with an IR, RF chip or magnet. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it won't be able to open the flap and leave or access your property, hence preventing some unwelcome visitors. Again this is a relatively basic form of cat flap, as any other cat in the area that has a similar model of collar might be able to gain access to your house. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of this equipment and can be programmed by the householder to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet.

Having a cat flap that can be operated by your cat's own microchip, is the next level in entry gadgets for felines. The microchip number is entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one cat). The flap will be unfastened anytime your cat is in close proximity, only allowing access to pets that have a microchip.

Whatever cat flap you buy, it must have the ability to be locked in position. These days, almost all cat flaps available on the market boast a 4-way locking system for added flexibility. This makes it possible for your cat flap to enable exit only, enable access into your property only, be fully locked, or have two-way exit and entrance functionality. This gives total control over the functioning of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night. A few of the high end models can be programmed to carry out different functions according to the time of day, in line with yours and your cat's requirements.

If you've got a timber door in your home in Gainsborough, putting in a cat flap yourself should not be that hard. But, if you're planning to install it in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you need to seek outside help. These sorts of fittings require a professional installation from a reliable cat flap installer or carpenter with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN GAINSBOROUGH

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap needs to be fitted into a double glazing window or door panel, and your hired "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop the work immediately and give them the boot. New cat flaps can not be fitted into pre-existing double glazing window or door panels. Cutting into any kind of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, as well as its thermal attributes. The double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

A dependable Gainsborough cat flap installer will diligently take the measurements of your current unit and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing firm. As part of its construction this new double glazing panel will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be installed neatly into. You might have to wait a week or more for this to be manufactured, however if it's necessary to have a cat flap fitted into an existing patio or double glazed door, this is basically the only way to do it. After construction, the old glass panel will be taken out, and the new modified one put in. It will now be possible to fit the cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - Solid timber doors are, as mentioned previously, the easiest options for new cat flap installation in Gainsborough. If you're uncomfortable with making a hole in your front door, it's advisable to bring in a specialist to do the job for you. This type of undertaking will not be too costly and is worthwhile doing properly, if getting your cat flap expertly installed offers you that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in most instances. Having said that, certain uPVC doors are steel lined for extra security, which might cause problems. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for security or aesthetic reasons, you don't want to have a hole cut into a door, you could always choose to install your cat flap on an exterior wall of your home. A wall cat flap entrance requires a bit more expertise and equipment to fit, therefore it is definitely best left to a professional. You'll find there are a number of choices for this type of installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angled (through pillar) adaption. A square hole will have to be made through your wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. The cat flap you have chosen is then attached at either end to allow your furry friend to come in and out as it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Gainsborough - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either broken or not functioning properly, the existing hole in your wall, window or door can still be used providing that the new flap is of a comparable size. An expert Gainsborough cat flap installer will be glad to take off your old entry unit and swap it for a fresh cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the window, wall or door on which it's attached.

Before fitting a new flap in double glazing that's been pre-cut, confirming that the current glass has been made and installed accurately is vital. The pane must be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues, if it becomes obvious this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the earlier installation.
