Cat Flap Fitter Holland-on-Sea

Cat Flap Fitter Holland-on-Sea Essex (CO15): Fitting a cat flap doesn't only save you the effort of opening the door every time the cat needs to go out or in, it also gives your cat extra independence and improves it's quality of life. Cats are inclined to get grouchy and irritated when constantly kept inside, and not able to roam. Having access to the world outside by way of a cat flap will help your cat to keep fit, both physically and mentally. So, you think it's a good idea, but what is perfect style of cat flap for your pet?

A cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable bit of material placed over it, to keep the elements out, but let the cat pass through. The majority of cat owners in Holland-on-Sea would no doubt favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their house, although this could be acceptable for a shed or outhouse door.

This standard design can be somewhat improved upon with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place, but it is still a long way off being perfect as it enables other cats or animals a way to enter into your home.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar fitted with a magnet, RF or IR chip. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will not be able to trigger the flap and leave or get into your house, thus avoiding some undesirable visitors. The fact that any other cat in the neighbourhood who has a similar model of collar may be able to gain access to your property, is the downside with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these products because they can be programmed by the home owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet.

Having a cat flap which can identify your cat's own microchip, is the next level in access gadgets for felines. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have several cats), to provide exclusive access. When your cat passes close to the flap, it will unlock and allow just your micro-chipped pets to enter or exit.

The ability to lock it in place is vital regardless which cat flap you are purchasing. Currently, most cat flaps available on the market boast a four way locking mechanism for added flexibility. Which means it has the capability to be locked fully, permit exit from your house only, permit only admittance into your property, or be put in 2-way exit and entry mode. This gives complete control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. The ability to carry out different functions according to the time of day, and in line with yours and your pet's requirements is also a possibility with some of the top-end brands of cat flap.

If you have a wooden door in your house in Holland-on-Sea, fitting a cat flap yourself shouldn't be all that complicated. Although, if it has to be fitted into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you should on no account even attempt it on your own. These situations call for the skills and expertise of a competent cat flap installer or handyman, who will have the equipment and knowledge for this sort of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN HOLLAND-ON-SEA

Double Glazing Installations - If you happen to employ somebody who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your new cat flap, stop them at once and request that they leave. New cat flaps cannot be mounted into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Making holes in your double glazing damages not simply the strength and security of the glazing, but it removes the thermal insulation properties too. Your double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be done in any circumstances whatsoever.

An experienced cat flap installer will measure up your current double glazing unit and have a local Holland-on-Sea glazing firm make a new one. So that the cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new glazed unit will be provided with a pre-cut hole as part of its structure. You might have a 1 or 2 week waiting period for this to be made, however if you want a cat flap fitted into an existing patio or double glazed door, this is basically the only way to do it. Once you have acquired your new modified pane of glass, the old one can be removed and the new panel fitted. The installing of your cat flap will then be undertaken.

External Wooden Doors - Solid wood door panels are, as we previously mentioned, the simplest alternatives for new cat flap installation in Holland-on-Sea. If you are nervous about cutting a hole in your front or back door, it's it may be better to bring in a professional to complete the task for you. This type of task won't be too costly and is worth doing correctly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional offers you that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be used for installing a cat flap. However, certain uPVC doors are lined with steel for further security, which can cause some problems. A one piece panel enables easier installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it may be more cost effective to replace the panel with a single pane model.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you do not wish to have a hole cut into a door, you could always choose to install the cat flap in an outside wall of your home in Holland-on-Sea. Needing a lot more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installment is definitely better left to a professional, if it is to be completed successfully. There are a couple of possibilities for this kind of installation, including a straight-through tunnel design, or a right angled (through pillar) configuration. Installation entails a neat square shaped hole being cut through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted. The cat flap you have chosen can then be mounted on either end to permit your cat to exit and enter as it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Holland-on-Sea - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working properly, the existing hole in your door, window or wall can be used for a replacement as long as the new cat flap is of a similar size. A good cat flap installer in Holland-on-Sea will be capable of removing your old,unwanted cat flap, and fit a brand new one in its place without damaging the surrounding wall, window or door.

When the cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it is essential to confirm that this was previously done in the right way, before fixing the new cat flap. If it becomes obvious this isn't the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.
