Cat Flap Fitter Great Torrington

Cat Flap Fitter Great Torrington Devon (EX38): Installing a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Great Torrington house gives your cat the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats tend to get grouchy and irritated when continuously kept inside, and not able to roam. Having a cat that is both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main benefits of allowing your pet access to the world outside with a cat flap. If this seems like a good option for you, exactly what sort of cat flap should you put in?

The most straightforward sort of cat flap, is just that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible piece of material fixed over it, to give protection from the weather, but let the cat pass through. Naturally, this is very basic, and won't be sufficient for most cat owners in Great Torrington, who would prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property, although it could be appropriate for a shed door or garden fence panel.

Since this option can allow other cats or creatures to enter your home, it's not at all recommended, though it can be enhanced a little by keeping the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap. This requires that your cat wears a collar which has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased in it. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will not be able to trigger the flap and leave or get into your home, thus preventing some unwelcome visitors. The point that any other moggy in the area that has a similar style of collar could possible get into your home, is the downside with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. An improvement to this device is an RF cat flap and collar system which offers a unique identifier that can be programmed by the home owner.

Choosing a cat flap that can identify your cat's microchip, is the next step-up in entrance security for felines. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you've got more than one cat), to give exclusive access. Whenever your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it will unlock and allow only your microchipped pets to exit or enter.

When you are buying a cat flap, you should make certain that it's of a type that can be locked into position. The majority of cat flaps sold nowadays feature a four way locking system. This means that the cat flap can allow exit only, be fully locked, permit entrance into your property only, or be set for 2-way entry and exit. This gives you a range of options on how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night time. The facility to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your cat's needs is also an option with some of the top-end brands of cat flap.

Putting in a cat flap on your own can be quite easy if you have a solid wood door on your Great Torrington house, and reasonable DIY capabilities. Under no circumstances should you attempt to fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. This type of installation requires the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap installers and talented handymen who are glad to accept such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN GREAT TORRINGTON

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to employ someone who endeavours to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your new cat flap, stop them at once and ask them to leave. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into an existing double glazed door panel or window pane. Drilling or cutting into any kind of double glazing will destroy its security and strength, together with its thermal attributes. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsafe.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazed pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your local Great Torrington cat flap installer will take the measurements of your existing panel and put in an order for a brand new one. So your cat flap can be perfectly installed into it, this new double glazing unit will be provided with a pre-cut hole as part of its structure. This is the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door, although it can take a week or so to manufacture. After construction, your old glass panel will be taken out, and the new modified one put in its place. The cat flap can then be fitted.

External Wooden Doors - The most straightforward option for cat flap installations in Great Torrington, as was stated earlier, are wooden doors. It is often best to call on a professional carpenter or cat flap fitter, if you are in any way hesitant about creating a big hole in your door. This will give you the reassurance that you will finish up with a professionally fitted cat flap, and that the project has been carried out correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can usually be fitted into uPVC doors. However, some uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for extra security, which might cause issues. A one-piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you have a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be more economical to exchange this panel for a single pane model.

Wall Installation - It is also possible to have a cat flap installed into an exterior wall of your home in Great Torrington, if you don't wish to cut chunks out of your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons. A cat flap entrance in a wall calls for a bit more skill and equipment to fit, therefore it's certainly better left to a professional. Most wall cat flap installations involve a basic straight tunnel style, but right angle access through a pillar is also possible. This installation calls for a neat square hole being cut through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted. A suitable cat flap is then attached to both ends of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Great Torrington - If you already have a cat flap installed on your door, wall or window, but it is damaged or not working properly, the current hole can, with luck, still be used for installing a replacement. A decent cat flap installer in Great Torrington will be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, and mount a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the surrounding wall, door or window.

When the cat flap installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it will be essential to make certain that this was previously done in the right way, before fitting the new cat flap. The glass pane must be taken out and exchanged to avoid any security and safety issues, if you discover that this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the previous installation.
