Cat Flap Fitter Hoyland

Cat Flap Fitter Hoyland South Yorkshire (S74): To give your cat the independence it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Hoyland home. Similar to humans, when kept indoors, cats will frequently start to show signs of frustration and anxiety. When your beloved cat is allowed instant access to the world outside via a cat flap, there's a far better chance of it staying both physically and mentally healthy. If this sounds like a great idea to you, precisely what form of cat flap should you choose?

The most basic kind of cat flap, is simply that. A hole in a door with a flexible sheet of material placed over it, to keep out the elements, but let the cat move through. Naturally, this is extremely basic, and won't be good enough for most Hoyland cat owners, who would no doubt prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house, although it might be okay for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This uncomplicated design can be slightly improved upon with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place, but it's still far from ideal because it allows other animals or cats a means by which to enter your house.

A step up from the magnetic strip model are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar featuring 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 access your home, therefore preventing some undesirable visitors. The point that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who has a similar model of collar will be able to get into your property, is the downside with this sort of cat flap. An upgrade to this product is an RF cat flap/collar system which provides a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat owner.

A cat flap that's can be recognised by your pet's own microchip, is the next stage in feline entry security. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you've got more than one cat it will allow multiple entries. The flap is unlocked anytime your cat is in the vicinity, only permitting entry or exit to pets that have a microchip.

Regardless which cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in position. For extra flexibility, most cat flaps boast a 4-way locking system these days. Which means that it has the capability to enable only exit from your home, allow admission into your property only, be fully locked, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This gives you a range of alternatives on precisely how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night. Some high end devices can be set to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, in keeping with yours and your pet's requirements.

Installing a cat flap on your own can be fairly simple if you have a solid timber door on your Hoyland property, and respectable DIY capabilities. Although, if it is going to be fitted into a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt to tackle it by yourself. This type of installation calls for the attention of a pro, and there are specialist cat flap installers and talented carpenters who'll be ready to accept such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN HOYLAND

Double Glazing Installations - If you happen to employ somebody who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to install your cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. New cat flaps can not be installed into pre-existing double glazed window or door panels. Any type of double glazing will be ruined by cutting into it, and will diminish its security, insulating properties and strength. In fact, it makes the glazing unsafe and it shouldn't ever be done.

A professional cat flap installer will take measurements of your current double glazed unit and have a local Hoyland glazing company make a new pane. As part of its structure this new double glazed unit will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed perfectly into. You may have a one or two week wait for this pane to be manufactured, however if you want a cat flap installed in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to accomplish it. Once you have acquired your new modified glass panel, the old one can be taken out and the new unit fitted. Your cat flap can then be installed.

External Wooden Doors - As previously mentioned, solid wooden doors are the simplest option with regards to installing a new cat flap on your house in Hoyland. If you are a bit uncertain about creating a hole in your front or back door, you might be happier hiring a professional cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This will provide you with the reassurance that you will wind up with an expertly installed cat flap, and that the project has been done in the right and proper way.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. It pays to know the internal construction, as some uPVC doors are steel lined for extra security. A one-piece door panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be cheaper to exchange this panel for a single panel model.

Wall Installation - It is also possible to have a cat flap installed into an outside wall of your house in Hoyland, if you don't want to cut chunks out of your doors, whether for security or aesthetic reasons. Needing a lot more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap install is definitely better left to a specialist, if it's to be completed correctly. The majority of cat flap installations in walls involve a simple straight tunnel style, but right angled access via a pillar is also an option. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole neatly cut out of your specified wall. An appropriate cat flap is then installed on both ends of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Hoyland - If you already have a cat flap installed on a window, door or wall, but it's broken or not working correctly, the current hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for the installation of a replacement. You local cat flap fitter should be able to take off the old cat flap, without damaging the window, door or wall, and fit a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

Before fitting a new flap in a double glazing pane which has been previously pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been cut and installed in the right way is crucial. If it becomes obvious this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass must be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

Cat flap weatherproofing is essential for maintaining the comfort and safety of both outdoor and indoor cats. A dry and warm environment for both the feline and the occupants is achieved by a well-weatherproofed cat flap, preventing wind, rain and cold draughts from seeping into the house. Designed with superior quality insulating materials and seals, cat flaps create a tight barrier against the weather. For shielding the entryway from harsh climatic conditions, an additional idea is to install a weatherproof tunnel extension. The cat flap's effectiveness in providing a cosy and weather-protected space for your cat is preserved through routine maintenance, which involves checking seals for wear and tear. (42068)
