Cat Flap Fitter Inverness

Cat Flap Fitter Inverness Scotland (IV1): Installing a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Inverness home provides your cat with the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life. Cats that are kept inside, just like people, can show signs of frustration. Having access to the world outside via a cat flap will help your cat to stay fit, both physically and mentally. But, what kind of cat flap is better for your circumstances?

A cat flap at its most fundamental is just that. A hole is cut into a door and a bendable material is hung over the gap to offer some protection from the weather. Even though this might be suitable for an outhouse door or garden fence panel, the majority of cat owners in Inverness would doubtless favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their home.

This uncomplicated design is still far from perfect because it allows other creatures or cats to enter into your home, nevertheless it can be improved on slightly with the addition of a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are a significant step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar boasting a magnet, IR or RF chip. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it won't be able to open the flap and get into or leave your house, thus preventing some unwelcome visitors. Once again this is a pretty basic form of cat flap, given that any other cat in the area that's got a similar model of collar can still get into your property. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to a certain degree with an RF cat flap and collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier.

Picking a cat flap that can identify your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in entry devices for felines. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you have several cats it will accept multiple entries. Entry and exit can only be achieved by micro-chipped pets, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is in the vicinity.

Being able to lock it in position is essential regardless which cat flap you're buying. For added security, nearly all cat flaps feature a 4-way locking system these days. Which means that the cat flap can permit entrance into your house only, allow exit from your property only, be fully locked, or be set for two-way entry and exit. This provides you with alternatives for all times of night and day, to control how your cat flap operates. In keeping with yours and your pet's requirements, there is even the option to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, with a number of the more expensive devices.

If you've got a wooden door on your house in Inverness, installing a cat flap yourself shouldn't be that hard. On no account should you try to fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These kinds of fixtures require a professional installation by a reputable cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN INVERNESS

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to put in your new cat flap, stop them immediately and request that they leave. New cat flaps cannot be fitted into existing double glazed doors or window panels. Any sort of double glazing will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will detract from its security, strength and thermal properties. In fact, it renders the glazing unsafe and it should never be attempted.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazed pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your chosen Inverness cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current panel and order the new one. So that the cat flap can be neatly fitted into it, this new glazed pane will arrive with a hole pre-cut as a part of its structure. This is the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door, although it may take a week or two to manufacture. Once you have taken possession of your new adapted pane of glass, the old one can be removed and the new one installed. Your cat flap will then be installed.

External Wooden Doors - Timber door panels are, as I previously mentioned, the simplest options for installing a new cat flap in Inverness. If you are dubious about cutting a hole in your door, it's probably a good idea to bring in a specialist to undertake the project for you. An undertaking like this should not be expensive and will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that your cat will be climbing through an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite feasible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You will have to establish what the interior construction of you door is, since for added security some uPVC doors are made with a reinforced steel lining. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted type door panel, it may be easier to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you don't want to have a hole cut into your door, you could decide to install a cat flap on an exterior wall of your house in Inverness. Requiring much more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is undoubtedly best left to the pros, if it is to be accomplished correctly. There are a couple of possibilities for this sort of installation, including a straight-through tunnel design, or a right angle (through pillar) configuration. A square hole will have to be made through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with a cat flap so that your furry pal can exit and enter your house whenever it desires.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Inverness - If your wall, window or door already has a cat flap fitted, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it's perfectly possible to mount a replacement over the existing hole. A good cat flap fitter in Inverness will be able to remove your unwanted cat flap, and fit a brand new one as a replacement without causing damage to the surrounding door, wall or window.

Before installing the new cat flap in double glazing that has been previously pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been made and installed accurately is crucial. If it's discovered that corners were cut with the previous installation, the pane must be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues with the new flap.
