Cat Flap Fitter Gerrards Cross

Cat Flap Fitter Gerrards Cross Buckinghamshire (SL9): Fitting a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your home in Gerrards Cross, will allow it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of independence and freedom. Cats kept indoors, as with people, can often show signs of irritability. When your beloved cat is permitted easy access to the outside world via a cat flap, there is a better likelihood of it staying both mentally and physically fit. So, you think it's a good idea, but exactly what is perfect style of cat flap for your precious pet?

The most straightforward type of cat flap, is just that. A hole is cut in an exterior door and a bendable material is fixed over the gap to give some protection from the weather. Even though this may be acceptable for a fence panel or shed door, the majority of Gerrards Cross cat owners would doubtless favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home.

This simple model is still far from perfect because it allows other cats or animals to enter into your property, however it can be somewhat improved upon with the addition of magnetic strips to keep the flap in place.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are the next step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. In this case, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your house unless it's equipped with this special collar. The downside here is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that has a similar style of collar can gain access to your home with this sort of cat flap. An enhancement to this device is a RF cat flap/collar system which has a unique identifier which can be programmed by the householder. With this, an added layer of security and control is established to ensure that only your furry friend gets access.

The next level in feline access security is to choose the type of cat flap which recognises your cat's microchip. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's microchip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you've got more than one pet it will accept multiple entries. Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped pets, and the flap is unlocked whenever you cat is in the vicinity.

Being able to lock it in position is important no matter which cat flap you're purchasing. The majority of cat flaps sold nowadays boast a 4-way locking mechanism. This means that the cat flap can enable entrance into your home only, allow only exit from your home, be fully locked, or be set for two-way entry and exit. This will provide you with a number of solutions on exactly how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night. The facility to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your pet's requirements is also a possibility with some of the more expensive models of cat flap.

If you've got a wooden door on your home in Gerrards Cross, installing a cat flap yourself shouldn't be that hard.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN GERRARDS CROSS

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap is going to be installed in a double glazing panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and give them their walking orders. A new cat flap cannot be installed into an existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any kind of double glazing will be damaged by cutting into it, and will diminish its security, thermal insulation properties and strength. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be done under any circumstances.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazing panel made especially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your local Gerrards Cross cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current panel and put in an order for a brand new one. As an integral part of its construction this new glazed panel will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be fitted perfectly into. This can take one or two weeks to manufacture, however it is really the only way to install a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door. Once you've acquired your new glass pane, the old unit can be removed and the new panel installed. The fitting of the cat flap will then be carried out.

External Wooden Doors - The easiest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Gerrards Cross, as was mentioned earlier in this article, are solid timber doors. If you are a little dubious about creating a sizeable hole in your front door, you might be better off contacting a professional cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This type of task will not be too costly and is worthwhile doing correctly, if getting your cat flap expertly installed gives you that added peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite feasible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You or your fitter will have to find out what the internal construction of you door is, since for added security some uPVC door panels are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. The easiest kind of cat flap installation is in doors with a single panel, consequently if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be cheaper and easier overall to exchange the slatted panel for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to have a hole cut into your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you could have a cat flap installed on an exterior wall. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires considerably more equipment and expertise to install, therefore it's certainly best left to an expert. There are a couple of possibilities for this installation, including a straightforward version, or a right angled (through pillar) configuration. A square hole will be made through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. Each end of the hole is then installed with an appropriate cat flap so that your furry friend can exit and enter your house whenever it wishes.

You local cat flap installer will be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without harming the window, wall or door, and fit a new flap in its place for your cat.

Before fitting the new cat flap in a double glazed panel that's been pre-cut, confirming that the current glass has been manufactured and installed accurately is crucial.
