Cat Flap Fitter Great Dunmow

Cat Flap Fitter Great Dunmow Essex (CM6): To provide your cat with the independence it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Great Dunmow house. Rather like people, when kept inside for long periods of time, cats will frequently start to show signs of anxiety and frustration. Giving your cat access to the world outside by way of a cat flap can help to keep them physically and mentally fit. But what kind of cat flap is better in your case?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole in a door with a flexible sheet of material placed over it, to keep out the elements, but permit the cat climb through. The vast majority of cat owners in Great Dunmow would doubtless favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their house, although this could be okay for an outhouse or shed door.

This uncomplicated design can be to some degree improved on with magnetic strips to hold the flap in place, however it's still far from ideal as it enables other cats or animals a means by which to enter your property.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap. This involves your cat wearing a collar that's got either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased inside it. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it won't be able to trigger the flap and get into or leave your house, hence keeping out some undesirable visitors. The fact that any other moggy in the Great Dunmow area who's got a similar model of collar will be able to get into your home, is the drawback with this still fairly basic kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these devices because they can be programmed by the householder to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet.

Choosing a cat flap that can be operated by your pet's own micro-chip, is the next level in entrance devices for felines. You need to enter the number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you've got several cats it will accept multiple entries. When your cat comes into close vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and allow just your microchipped pets to enter/exit.

Whatever cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in position. For added security, the majority of cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism nowadays. This means that the cat flap can be locked fully, enable only exit from your home, enable admission into your home only, or be set for 2-way exit and entry. This gives you a range of solutions on precisely how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night time. In keeping with yours and your pet's needs, there is even the possibility to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, with several of the higher end models.

If you are fairly good at do-it-yourself, putting in your own cat flap shouldn't be that difficult, as long as you have a timber door on your Great Dunmow home. On no account should you attempt to fit a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door. These situations require the skills and expertise of a professional cat flap fitter or handyman, who'll have all the equipment and knowledge for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN GREAT DUNMOW

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap has to be mounted on a double glazing panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the job straight away and give them their marching orders. New cat flaps can not be mounted into existing double glazed window or door panels. Making a hole in your double glazing damages not only the security and strength of the panel, but it compromises the thermal insulation attributes as well. The double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be attempted in any circumstances whatsoever.

A specialist cat flap fitter will measure your current double glazed unit and have a local glazing company knock up a new one. As an integral part of its structure this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed neatly into. This may take a week or so to manufacture, however it is the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. After construction, your old glass can be removed, and the new adapted one put in its place. The fitting of your cat flap will then be completed.

External Wooden Doors - Solid wood door panels are, as mentioned previously, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Great Dunmow. It's often best to employ the expert services of a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, if you're at all uncertain about cutting a hole in your door. This kind of project is comparatively inexpensive and will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that your pet can enjoy a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly feasible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. Nonetheless, certain uPVC door panels are steel lined for extra security, which might cause problems. A one piece door panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be more economical to swap the panel for a single pane type.

Wall Installation - If, for safety or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could always opt to install a cat flap on an outside wall of your property. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a bit more equipment and expertise to install, so it's certainly better left to a professional. You can go with a straightforward tunnel style, or maybe a right angle model which permits access through a pillar. A square shaped hole will have to be made through your selected wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. A suitable cat flap is then mounted on both sides of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Great Dunmow - If you've already got a cat flap fitted on your window, door or wall, but it is damaged or not working correctly, the current hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for installing a new one. Your cat flap fitter will be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, without harming the door, window or wall, and install a brand new flap for your cat.

If the substitute cat flap is going to be mounted into a pre cut hole in a double glazing panel, you must make sure that the glass has been cut and installed correctly. The glass will have to be removed and exchanged to avoid any security and safety problems, if it is found that this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
