Cat Flap Fitter Glenfield

Cat Flap Fitter Glenfield Leicestershire (LE3): The installation of a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your home in Glenfield, will allow it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of independence and freedom. When kept inside, cats as with humans, will get irritated and grouchy. Allowing your furry friend accessibility to outside world by way of a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. Of course, that's not the whole story, as there are several forms of cat flap, and deciding what design is best for your cat might not be so easy.

The most straightforward form of cat flap, is simply that. A bit of bendable material fixed over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to go through, but keep the elements out. Obviously, this is very basic, and won't be sufficient for most cat owners in Glenfield, who would no doubt favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house, although it might be appropriate for a shed door or garden fence panel.

Since this solution will allow other cats or animals to enter your property, it is not at all ideal, although it can be enhanced to some degree by holding the flap in place with the addition of a magnetic strip.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be sewn into your cat's collar. Therefore any animal that hasn't got a special collar cannot get into or leave your home. The fact that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that has a similar model of collar may be able to access your house, is the drawback with this still fairly basic sort of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be improved to a certain extent with an RF cat flap and collar system offering an owner programmed unique identifier.

Installing a cat flap which can be triggered by your pet's micro-chip, is the next level in entrance gadgets for felines in Glenfield. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. When your cat comes into close vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and permits just your micro-chipped pets to exit/enter.

Regardless of what cat flap you buy, it must be capable of being locked in place. For added security, nearly all cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism nowadays. This makes it possible for your cat flap to be locked fully, enable access into your home only, permit exit only, or have two-way exit and entrance capability. This gives you options for all times of night and day, to control exactly how your cat flap functions. In line with your pet's and your needs, there's even the possibility to carry out different functions according to the time of day, with a few of the higher end models.

Putting in a cat flap on your own can be really simple if you have a solid wood door, and decent do-it-yourself skills. Although, if it has to be installed in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you shouldn't even attempt it by yourself. These types of fixtures require a professional installation from a dependable cat flap fitter or carpenter with the necessary skills and equipment.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN GLENFIELD

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap needs to be fitted into a double glazed panel, and your hired "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop them immediately and give them their marching orders. A new cat flap can't be mounted into an existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Cutting into any type of double glazing will destroy its strength and security, as well as its insulation attributes. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

It is necessary to get a new double glazing unit made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Glenfield cat flap fitter will measure your existing pane and order a brand new one. As part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed perfectly into. This is really the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it may take two weeks or so to produce. As soon as your new glass pane arrives, the fitter will remove the old one, and replace it with the new "cat flap ready" one. The cat flap can then be fitted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid wooden doors are, as I stated earlier, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Glenfield. If you're unsure of cutting a hole in your back or front door, it's probably a good idea to call in an expert to do the work for you. This should give you the satisfaction of knowing that you'll finish up with an expertly fitted cat friendly flap, and that the project has been carried out correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can in general be installed into uPVC doors. You or your installer will have to ascertain what the internal structure of you door actually is, since for additional security some uPVC door panels are made with a galvanised steel lining. The models of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted type door panel, it might be better to swap this for a single pane.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to get a cat flap installed on an outside wall of your property in Glenfield, if you don't wish to have a hole cut in one of your doors, whether for aesthetic or safety reasons. Calling for much more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is undoubtedly better left to the pros, if it is to be executed successfully. Almost all wall cat flap installations are a basic straight tunnel style, however right angular access via a pillar is also an option. A neat square hole will have to be made through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. A cat flap is then fitted to each end of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Glenfield - If your door, wall or window is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working effectively, or is damaged, it's quite possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A good cat flap fitter in Glenfield will be able to remove your old,unwanted cat flap, and mount a new one in its place without harming the surrounding wall, window or door.

Before installing a new flap in a double glazing pane which has been pre-cut, checking that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed in the right way is essential. The panel will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety issues, if you discover that this isn't the case and corners were cut in the previous installation.
