Cat Flap Fitter Hadleigh

Cat Flap Fitter Hadleigh Essex (SS7): Installing a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Hadleigh house provides your cat with the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats which are kept indoors, as with humans, can often show signs of frustration. When allowed instant access to the outside world with a cat flap, your precious cat has a better chance of staying healthy and fit. Of course, that isn't the whole story, since there are several styles of cat flap, and deciding which one is best for you and your cat isn't always that easy.

A cat flap at its most fundamental is simply that. A hole is cut in an outside door and a flexible material is fixed over it to offer some protection from the weather. Even though this could be appropriate in a fence panel or outhouse door, most Hadleigh cat owners would favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their property.

This simple design is still far from ideal because it allows other animals or cats to enter your property, nonetheless it can be improved on to some degree with the addition of magnetic strips to hold the flap in place.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar fitted with a magnet, RF or IR chip. What this means is that any animal that hasn't got one of these special collars cannot leave or get into your house. The fact that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who has a similar style of collar can still get into your house, is the downside with this type of cat flap. An improvement to this device is an RF cat flap and collar system which provides a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat's owner. Access is limited to your feline friend alone, delivering an additional layer of control and security.

Choosing a cat flap that can identify your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in entrance gadgets for felines. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. The flap will be unfastened whenever your cat is nearby, only permitting access to pets that have a microchip.

Being able to lock it in position is essential no matter which cat flap you're purchasing. Nowadays, most cat flaps on the market boast a 4-way locking system for added security. Which means that the cat flap can enable only exit from your home, permit admittance into your house only, be locked fully, or be set for two way entry and exit. This gives complete control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. The ability to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on yours and your pet's needs is also a possibility with some of the more advanced brands of cat flap.

If you've got a wood door on your house in Hadleigh, putting in a cat flap yourself shouldn't be too difficult. Under no circumstances should you attempt to install a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door. This type of installation calls for the attention of an expert, and there are specialist cat flap installers and talented handymen who will be happy to undertake such work.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HADLEIGH

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap is going to be mounted on a double glazed panel, and your chosen "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop the job straight away and show them the gate. A new cat flap can not be installed into an existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Any sort of double glazing will be ruined by drilling or cutting into it, and will take away its strength, thermal properties and security. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsound.

A dependable Hadleigh cat flap installer will meticulously measure up your current pane and order a purpose made one from a local glazing supplier. This new glazed pane will arrive with a pre-cut hole as a part of its construction where the cat flap will be installed. This could take two weeks or so to produce, but it's the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. As soon as your new glass panel is delivered, the installer will take out the old unit, and replace it with the new "cat flap ready" one. It's now possible to install your cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Wooden doors are, as I already mentioned, the easiest options for cat flap installation in Hadleigh. If you are a little hesitant about making a hole in your front or back door, you may be better off getting in touch with a specialist handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This will provide you with the reassurance that you will wind up with a professionally fitted cat flap, and that the job has been carried out correctly and without causing damage to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be installed with a cat flap. It is necessary to know the internal construction, because some door panels are steel lined for extra security. The easiest kind of installation is in doors having a single panel, therefore if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slatted pane for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - It is also feasible to get a cat flap installed into an exterior wall of your house in Hadleigh, if you don't wish to cut chunks out of your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires a bit more expertise and equipment to install, so it is definitely better left to a professional. You can decide on a straight through tunnel style, or even a right angled version which allows access through a pillar. A square shaped hole will need to be made through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. The cat flap you have chosen is then mounted on either end to permit your furry pal to come in and out as it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Hadleigh - If you already have a cat flap installed on a door, wall or window, but it is broken or not working correctly, the current hole can, with a little luck, still be used for installing a new one. A specialist Hadleigh cat flap installer will be glad to take out your old entry unit and replace it with a fresh cat flap without causing any harm to the door, wall or window on which it's attached.

When the cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it is necessary to check that this was previously done accurately, before fixing the new flap. If you discover that this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass pane will need to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety problems.
