Cat Flap Fitter Hassocks

Cat Flap Fitter Hassocks West Sussex (BN6): Installing a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Hassocks property provides your cat with the freedom and independence that it needs to live a happy life. Cats tend to get grumpy and irritated when constantly kept indoors, and not able to roam free. Giving your pet access to the outside world via a cat flap can help to keep them physically and mentally fit. But what type of cat flap is better in your case?

A cat flap at its most basic is just that. A hole is cut in an external door and a bendable material is placed over the gap to offer a bit of protection from the weather. Although this might be appropriate in a shed door or garden fence panel, the majority of cat owners in Hassocks would no doubt favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their property.

This simple design can be improved on to some degree with magnetic strips to hold the flap in position, however it is still a long way from being perfect since it enables other animals or cats to enter into your property.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap, are the next step up from the magnetic strip variation. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be encased in your cat's collar. No animal is going to be able to get into or leave your house unless it's fitted with one of these special collars. Again this is a fairly simple type of cat flap, as any other moggy in the area that's got a similar collar could possible gain access to your home. An enhancement to this device is a RF cat flap/collar system which contains a unique identifier that can be programmed by the user.

The next stage in feline access security is to use a cat flap that identifies your cat's microchip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you have several cats), to give exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be achieved by microchipped pets, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is in close proximity.

No matter what cat flap you purchase, it must be capable of being locked in position. For added flexibility, nearly all cat flaps have a 4-way locking system these days. This means that the cat flap can enable entrance into your house only, enable exit only, be fully locked, or be set for two-way entry and exit. This offers you choices for all times of night and day, to control exactly how your cat flap functions. Some of the high end devices can be programmed to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, based on your pet's and your requirements.

Fitting a cat flap by yourself can be pretty easy if you've got a solid timber door, and respectable do-it-yourself capabilities. Although, if it needs to be installed into a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you should under no circumstances even attempt to tackle it by yourself. These kinds of fittings require a professional installation by a reputable cat flap installer or odd job man with the necessary skills and equipment.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HASSOCKS

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap needs to be fitted into a double glazed panel, and your hired "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop the work right away and show them the gate. A new cat flap cannot be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Drilling holes in any kind of double glazing will damage its security and strength, as well as its insulating attributes. Your double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should never be done under any circumstances.

An experienced cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current double glazing unit and have a local glazing company knock up a new purpose made one. As part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed neatly into. You might have to wait a week or more for this pane to be manufactured, but if it's necessary to have a cat flap installed into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is really the only way to accomplish it. After construction, your old glass can be removed, and the new one put in. Your cat flap will then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The easiest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Hassocks, as was previously mentioned, are wood door panels. It is often safer to get in touch with a professional carpenter or cat flap fitter, if you're at all nervous about making a hole in your front or back door. A project of this type will not be expensive and will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that your pet can enjoy a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally speaking be installed into uPVC doors. Nonetheless, certain uPVC doors have got a steel lining for extra security, which could cause problems. A one piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you have a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be more cost effective to swap the panel for a single panel type.

Wall Installation - If, for either safety or aesthetic reasons, you do not wish to have a hole cut into your door, you could always decide to install the cat flap in an external wall of your property in Hassocks. This type of installation is undoubtedly best left to an expert, because it calls for a lot more equipment and skill to accomplish. You can go with a straight through tunnel style, or even a right angled version which allows access through a pillar. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted into a square shaped hole made into your wall. A suitable cat flap can then be attached to each end of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Hassocks - If your window, door or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it is not working properly, or is damaged, it is possible to mount a replacement over the current cavity. A decent cat flap installer in Hassocks will be able to remove your old cat flap, and fit a brand new one as a replacement without harming the wall, window or door.

Before installing the new cat flap in double glazing which has been pre-cut, confirming that the existing glass has been made and installed in the right way 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 need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems.
