Cat Flap Fitter Groby

Cat Flap Fitter Groby Leicestershire (LE6): Fitting a cat flap to an external door or wall in your home in Groby, will allow it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own bit of freedom and independence. Cats are similar to humans in a lot of ways, and will likely start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept indoors for lengthy periods of time without a break. Having accessibility to outside world via a cat flap will help your cat to stay fit, both physically and mentally. Needless to say, that's not the whole story, as there are many types of cat flaps, and figuring out what design is best for your pet might not be so simple.

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is just that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a bendable material is fixed over the gap to offer some protection from the elements. Most cat owners in Groby would favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although this might be okay for a shed door or fence panel.

This simple design can be improved upon with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, however it is still far from ideal as it enables other cats or creatures to enter your home.

The next step up from the magnetic strip version are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar fitted with an IR, RF chip or magnet. No animal is going to be able to leave or get into your house unless it's fitted with one of these special collars. The reality that any other moggy in the Groby area who's got a similar collar may be able to gain access to your property, is the downside with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. An upgrade to this product is a RF cat flap and collar system which has a unique identifier which can be programmed by the householder.

The next step-up in feline entry security is to install a cat flap that can be triggered by your cat's micro-chip. The details of your cat's micro-chip are programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one cat). Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it will unlock and allow solely your microchipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

No matter which cat flap you purchase, it should have the ability to be locked in position. Currently, most cat flaps on the market boast a four way locking system for added security. This means that it has the capability to enable only admittance into your home, be fully locked, enable exit only, or be put in two-way exit and entry mode. This provides you with a range of choices on exactly how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night time. Some of the more advanced models can be programmed to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, based on yours and your pet's needs.

If you've got a timber door in your property in Groby, installing a cat flap yourself shouldn't be that hard. On no account should you try and install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These sorts of fixtures require a professional installation by a trustworthy cat flap installer or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN GROBY

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, send them packing immediately. A new cat flap can not be installed into an existing double glazed door panel or window pane. Making a hole in your double glazing destroys not just the strength and security of the panel, but it compromises the insulation attributes as well. The double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should never be done in any circumstances whatsoever.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazing pane made especially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Groby cat flap fitter will measure your current unit and put in an order for a brand new one. So that your cat flap can be snugly fitted into it, this new glazed pane will be provided with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure. This might take a week or two to produce, however it's the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. When your new glass panel is delivered, the fitter will take out the old one, and swap it for the new "cat flap ready" pane. It will now be possible to fit your cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - The most straightforward option for installing a new cat flap in Groby, as was previously mentioned, are wood doors. If you're a little uncertain about cutting a sizeable hole in your back or front door, you may be better off bringing in an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. A project like this is comparatively inexpensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your pet will have the use of an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally speaking be fitted into uPVC doors. Nevertheless, some uPVC door panels have a steel lining for added security, which could cause issues. The models of door with a one piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted type panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or security reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could always choose to install your cat flap into an exterior wall of your house. This kind of installment is certainly better left to the pros, as it calls for far more equipment and skill to accomplish. There are a number of choices for this type of installation, including a straightforward design, or a right angled (through pillar) style. With this kind of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted into a square hole neatly made into your selected wall. A cat flap of your choice is then attached at both ends to enable your furry friend to come and go as it pleases.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Groby - If you've already got a cat flap installed on your window, wall or door, but it's broken or not operating properly, the current hole can, with a little luck, still be used for installing a replacement. An experienced Groby cat flap fitter will be happy to take off your old device and replace it with a new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the wall, window or door on which it is secured.

Before attaching the new cat flap in a double glazed panel that's been pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed correctly is essential. If it becomes obvious this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.
