Cat Flap Fitter Hartlepool County Durham (TS24): To provide your cat with the freedom and independence that it needs to live a happy life, you could fit a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Hartlepool house. When continuously kept indoors, cats as with humans, will get grumpy and irritated. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main benefits of allowing your pet access to the outside world by way of a cat flap. But what sort of cat flap is better for your circumstances?
The simplest style of cat flap is essentially that. A piece of flexible material placed over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to climb through, but keep out the elements. The majority of cat owners in Hartlepool would favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their property, although this might be okay for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.
Since this option will allow other animals or cats to enter your house, it's not at all ideal, although it can be enhanced to some degree by holding the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.
Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap. This requires your cat to use a collar that has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased inside it. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and get into or leave your home, thus preventing some undesirable visitors. The downside here is that any other cat in the area that's got a similar model of collar could perhaps gain access to your house with this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier. Your feline friend is the sole one to gain access, offering an extra layer of security and control.
The next step-up in feline entrance security is to consider the type of cat flap which identifies your cat's micro-chip. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you have more than one cat), to give exclusive access. The flap is unlocked whenever your cat is in close proximity, only allowing entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.
Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you should make certain it's of a design that can be locked. Currently, nearly all cat flaps on the market boast a four way locking mechanism for extra security. Which means that the cat flap can be fully locked, permit only entry into your property, allow exit only, or be set for 2-way entry and exit. This gives you solutions for all times of day and night, to control exactly how your cat flap operates. Based on your cat's and your requirements, there's even the possibility to carry out different functions according to the time of day, with a few of the higher end devices.
If you are pretty good at DIY, fitting a cat flap should not be too difficult, as long as you've got a timber door on your Hartlepool home. But, if you are intending to fit it in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you should ask for outside assistance. This type of installation calls for the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and talented carpenters who are ready to take on such work.
INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HARTLEPOOL
Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to employ someone who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your new cat flap, stop them right away and ask them to leave. New cat flaps can not be mounted into pre-existing double glazed doors or window panels. Cutting into any kind of double glazing will destroy its security and strength, as well as its insulation attributes. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsafe.
An experienced cat flap installer will take the measurements of the existing double glazed unit and have a local Hartlepool glazing firm make a new purpose made 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. This can take a week or two to produce, however it's really the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. As soon as your new glass panel is delivered, the fitter will take out the old one, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" one. Your cat flap will then be installed.
External Wooden Doors - Solid wooden door panels are, as we stated previously, the simplest alternatives for new cat flap installation in Hartlepool. It's usually safer to employ the expert services of an experienced handyman or cat flap fitter, if you are unsure of making a hole in your door. This should give you the reassurance that you are going to finish up with an expertly installed cat flap, and that the project has been completed properly and without causing harm to your door.
uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be suitable for installing a cat flap. However, some uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for further security, which may cause some problems. A one-piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it may be cheaper to replace the panel with a single panel type.
Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to have a hole cut into your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons, you can get a cat flap installed in an exterior wall. A wall cat flap entrance requires considerably more equipment and skill to fit, therefore it is certainly better left to a professional. You can choose a straight through tunnel style, or perhaps a right angle model which enables access via a pillar. A square hole will need to be made through your wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. A suitable cat flap can then be mounted on each end of the hole.
Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Hartlepool - If your wall, window or door already has a cat flap installed, but it isn't working, or is damaged, it is quite possible to mount a replacement over the current cavity. Your cat flap fitter will remove the old cat flap, without harming the surrounding window, door or wall, and fit a brand new flap for your cat.
When your installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be necessary to make certain that this was previously done correctly, before fixing the new flap. If it is found that this is not the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the panel must be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems.
