Cat Flap Fitter Galston

Cat Flap Fitter Galston Scotland (KA4): Fitting a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Galston home gives your cat the freedom and independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats tend to get irritated and grumpy when constantly kept inside, and not allowed to roam. Allowing your cat easy access to world outside with a cat flap can help keep them physically and mentally fit. So, you think it's a good idea, but precisely what is best sort of cat flap for your beloved pet?

A cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable bit of material hung over it, to keep out the elements, but permit the cat move through. Most Galston cat owners would prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house, although this might be okay for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.

This uncomplicated design is still a long way off being ideal since it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to enter your property, however it can be somewhat improved upon by adding magnetic strips to hold the flap in position.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip version. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar fitted with a magnet, RF or IR chip. What this means is that any animal without a special collar cannot leave or access your property. The point that any other cat in the neighbourhood that's got a similar collar will be able to get into your house, is the drawback with this sort of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap and collar system offering an owner programmed unique identifier.

Picking a cat flap that can identify your pet's own microchip, is the next level in entry security for felines in Galston. The details of your cat's microchip are programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one cat). The flap will be unfastened when your cat is in the vicinity, only allowing access to animals that are microchipped.

The ability to lock it in place is essential regardless of what cat flap you're purchasing. Currently, almost all cat flaps available on the market have a four way locking system for added flexibility. This makes it possible for your cat flap to be fully locked, permit exit only, enable entry into your premises only, or have two way exit and entry functionality. This offers full control over the functioning of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night. Some of the higher end cat flaps can be set to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, in keeping with yours and your cat's needs.

If you're pretty decent at do-it-yourself, fitting your own cat flap should not be too difficult, if you've got a wooden door on your house in Galston. But, if you are planning to install it in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you must ask for outside help. These situations require the skills and expertise of a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter, who is sure to have have all the knowledge and equipment for this sort of installation.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN GALSTON

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel, immediately send them packing. It isn't possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazing will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will damage its strength, security and thermal properties. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsafe.

An experienced cat flap fitter will measure your current double glazed pane and have a local glazing company knock up a new purpose made one. So your cat flap can be snugly installed into it, this new double glazing pane will be provided with a pre-cut hole as part of its construction. This is basically the only way to install a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, although it may take a week or so to produce. Once you have taken possession of your new modified glass panel, the old one can be taken out and the new one installed. It's now possible to install your cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - Timber door panels are, as I mentioned above, the simplest alternatives for installing a new cat flap in Galston. If you are nervous about creating a hole in your front door, it's it may be better to bring in an expert to do the job for you. This should give you the satisfaction of knowing that you will finish up with an expertly fitted cat flap, and that the project has been completed correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite possible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. Having said that, certain uPVC door panels are lined with steel for added security, which might cause problems. The simplest type of installation is in doors with one single panel, subsequently if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slatted panel for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could elect to install the cat flap on an outside wall of your property. This form of installation is definitely better left to the pros, because it requires a lot more skill and equipment to accomplish. You will find there are a couple of choices for this sort of installation, including a straightforward version, or a right angular (through pillar) pattern. This installation involves a square shaped hole being cut through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted. A cat flap of your choice is then mounted on both ends to enable your cat to exit and enter as it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Galston - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either damaged or not working properly, the current hole in your wall, door or window can be fitted with a replacement so long as the new cat flap is of an equivalent size. An expert Galston cat flap installer will gladly take out your old unit and swap it for a brand new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the window, wall or door on which it's attached.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it is important to make sure that this was previously done correctly, before fitting the new flap. If it becomes obvious this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the pane will need to be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety issues.
