Cat Flap Fitter Goldthorpe

Cat Flap Fitter Goldthorpe South Yorkshire (S63): Fitting a cat flap doesn't just save you the effort of opening the door every time your cat chooses to go in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and boosts it's quality of life. Cats kept indoors, much like humans, will show signs of frustration. When allowed quick access to the outside world with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a far better chance of staying fit and healthy. Obviously, that's not the whole story, since there are numerous forms of cat flap, and deciding which design is best for your pet might not be so easy.

The most rudimentry type of cat flap is essentially that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable piece of material placed over it, to give protection from the weather, but allow the cat go through. Of course, this is extremely basic, and will not be sufficient for most cat owners in Goldthorpe, who would favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their house, although it may be acceptable for an outhouse or shed door.

This uncomplicated design is still a long way off being ideal because it allows other creatures or cats a way to enter your home, however it can be somewhat improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

A step up from the magnetic strip model are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This involves your cat wearing a collar which has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased in it. This means that any animal without one of these special collars can't get into or leave your home. The reality that any other moggy in the Goldthorpe area who's got a similar collar can easily access your house, is the drawback with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of this equipment because they can be programmed by the householder to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat.

The next stage in feline entry security is to fit a cat flap that recognises your pet's own micro-chip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you have several cats), to give exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be achieved by microchipped animals, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is close by.

Whatever cat flap you purchase, it must have the ability to be locked in place. For extra flexibility, most cat flaps boast a four way locking system these days. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit access into your house only, be locked fully, permit exit only, or have two-way exit and entry capability. This gives full control over how your cat flap operates both throughout the day and during the night time. In keeping with your cat's and your needs, there is even the possibility to perform different functions according to the time of day, with several of the top-end models.

If you have a wood door on your property in Goldthorpe, fitting you own cat flap should not be that hard. On no account should you try and fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These types of fixtures call for a professional installation by a reputable cat flap fitter or odd job man with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN GOLDTHORPE

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. New cat flaps can not be fitted into pre-existing double glazing window or door panels. Making a hole in your double glazing damages not simply the security and strength of the glazing, but it takes away the insulating attributes too. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should not be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

It is necessary to get a new double glazing panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Goldthorpe cat flap fitter will measure your existing unit and order the new one. As an integral part of its construction this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be fitted perfectly into. You might have to wait one or two weeks for this pane to be manufactured, but if it's necessary to have a cat flap installed in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is the only way to accomplish it. Once your new panel of glass is delivered, the fitter will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" one. It's now possible to install and set up the cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid wood doors are, as previously mentioned, the easiest options for installing a new cat flap in Goldthorpe. If you are unsure about making a hole in your back or front door, it's advisable to call on an expert to do the work for you. This will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you'll end up with a professionally fitted cat flap, and that the job has been undertaken properly.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite possible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. Nevertheless, some uPVC door panels have a steel lining for additional security, which can cause some problems. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted style door panel, it may be better to replace this with a single pane.

Wall Installation - If, for security or aesthetic reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could always opt to install a cat flap in an outside wall of your property. Needing a lot more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installation is undoubtedly better left to a professional, if it is to be executed successfully. You could go with a straight-through tunnel design, or perhaps a right angle model which permits entry through a pillar. With this kind of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole neatly cut into your specified wall. A suitable cat flap can then be installed on both ends of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Goldthorpe - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap installed, but it is not working properly, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to fit a replacement into the existing hole. Your cat flap fitter will be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding window, door or wall, and fit a brand new flap for your cat.

Before fitting a new flap in double glazing that has been previously pre-cut, making certain that the current glass has been made and installed correctly is vital. If it is found this isn't the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the glass pane will need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

Vital for the well-being and safety of both indoor and outdoor cats, weatherproofing the cat flap is essential. Both the feline and the occupants benefit from a dry and warm environment due to a well-weatherproofed cat flap, which prevents cold draughts, rain and wind from seeping into the house. Superior quality insulating materials and seals in cat flaps ensure a tight barrier against the weather. Another measure to protect the entrance from harsh weather conditions is the installation of a weatherproof tunnel extension. The cat flap's ability to provide a weather-protected and comfy space for your cat is upheld through routine maintenance, including checking seals for damage. (13579)
