Cat Flap Fitter Kettering

Cat Flap Fitter Kettering Northamptonshire (NN15): The installation of a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your home in Kettering, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own bit of independence. When continuously kept inside, cats just like humans, will get irritated and grumpy. Having accessibility to world outside by way of a cat flap will help your furry friend to keep fit, both mentally and physically. If this seems like a good idea to you, precisely what sort of cat flap should you install?

The most basic type of cat flap, is just that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable piece of material fixed over it, to keep out the elements, but permit the cat go through. The majority of Kettering cat owners would no doubt favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home, although this could be okay for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This uncomplicated model can be improved on with magnetic strips to keep the flap in position, but it's still far from ideal as it enables other cats or creatures a means by which to enter your home.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap, are the next step up from the magnetic strip version. This involves your cat wearing a collar that has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased in it. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will not be able to trigger the flap and leave or access your property, therefore keeping out some unwanted visitors. Once again this is a fairly simple kind of cat flap, given that any other cat in the neighbourhood that has a similar collar may be able to get into your house. An upgrade to this product is a RF cat flap and collar system which features a unique identifier which can be programmed by the user. This ensures that only your furry friend gets access, providing an extra layer of control and security.

A model of cat flap that is can be recognised by your pet's micro-chip, is the next level in Kettering feline entrance security. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is in the vicinity.

Being able to lock it in position is essential regardless of what cat flap you are purchasing. Nowadays, most cat flaps available on the market have a 4-way locking system for extra security. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, enable only admittance into your property, permit exit only, or have two way exit and entry capability. This gives you a number of solutions on precisely how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night. Based on your pet's and your needs, there's even the option to perform specific functions according to the time of day, with a number of the top-end models.

Fitting a cat flap by yourself can be quite easy if you've got a solid timber door on your Kettering property, and decent do-it-yourself skills. But, if you're intending to fit it into a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you must ask for outside assistance. These situations require the skills and expertise of a reputable cat flap fitter or handyman, who'll have all the equipment and knowledge for this type of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN KETTERING

Double Glazing Installations - If you happen to employ someone who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to install your cat flap, stop them right away and request that they leave. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazing window pane or door panel. Drilling holes in any sort of double glazing will ruin its strength and security, together with its insulating attributes. Your double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should not be done in any circumstances.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazed unit made especially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your local Kettering cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current pane and order a brand new one. So that the cat flap can be perfectly installed into it, this new glazed pane will be provided with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure. You may have to wait a couple of weeks for this pane to be manufactured, but if you need a cat flap installed in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, this is the only way to accomplish it. Once you've taken possession of your new adapted pane of glass, the old unit can be taken out and the new one fitted. Your cat flap will then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The least complicated alternative for cat flap installations in Kettering, as was mentioned earlier in this article, are solid wooden door panels. If you're somewhat hesitant about creating a hole in your back or front door, you might be happier getting in touch with an expert cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This type of undertaking won't be too costly and is really worth doing correctly, if getting your cat flap professionally installed provides you with that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in many instances. You'll need to find out what the interior structure of you door actually is, since for extra security some uPVC doors are made with a reinforced steel lining. The models of door with a one piece panel are the easiest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single pane.

Wall Installation - If you don't wish to have a hole cut in your doors, either for safety or aesthetic reasons, you could get a cat flap installed within an exterior wall. This kind of installation is undoubtedly best left to the pros, as it requires far more equipment and skill to accomplish. The majority of cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnelled style, but right angular access through a pillar is also possible. Installation involves a square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted. The cat flap you have chosen is then attached at both ends to allow your feline friend to enter and exit as it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Kettering - If you've already got a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working properly, the existing hole in your door, wall or window can be used for a replacement as long as the new flap is of a similar size. An experienced Kettering cat flap fitter will gladly remove your old entry unit and replace it with a new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the window, door or wall on which it is attached.

If the new cat flap is being mounted in a pre cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must double check that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed in the right way. If you discover this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the panel will have to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues.
