Cat Flap Fitter Kingston upon Thames

Cat Flap Fitter Kingston upon Thames Greater London (KT1): To provide your cat with the freedom and independence that it needs to live a happy life, you could fit a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Kingston upon Thames house. Cats are very similar to people in a lot of ways, and will sometimes show signs of frustration and irritability if kept inside for lengthy periods of time without a break. Having accessibility to outside world by means of a cat flap will help your cat to stay fit, both physically and mentally. If this seems like a great idea to you, precisely what type of cat flap should you fit?

The most straightforward style of cat flap, is simply that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a flexible material is fixed over it to give some protection from the weather. The majority of cat owners in Kingston upon Thames would doubtless favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property, although this could be suitable for an outhouse or shed door.

This uncomplicated model can be to some degree improved on with magnetic strips to hold the flap in place, however it is still a long way from being ideal because it enables other creatures or cats to enter into your home.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap, are a significant step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be encased in your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will be unable to trigger the flap and access or leave your property, therefore preventing some unwanted visitors. The downside here is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who's got a similar model of collar might be able to access your property with this sort of cat flap installed. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to a certain extent with an RF cat flap/collar system featuring a user programmed unique identifier.

The next stage in feline entry security is to fit the kind of cat flap which can be triggered by your cat's own micro-chip. You need to enter the details of your cat's micro-chip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you've got several cats it will allow multiple entries. When your cat is close to the flap, it unlocks and permits solely your microchipped pets to exit or enter.

Being able to lock it in place is important whichever cat flap you're purchasing. The majority of cat flaps sold these days boast a four way locking system. This allows your cat flap to be locked fully, permit admission into your home only, permit exit from your property only, or have two way exit and entry functionality. This offers you options for all times of night and day, to have control over precisely how your cat flap works. The wherewithal to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with your pet's and your requirements is also an option with some of the higher end models of cat flap.

If you have a wood door in your property in Kingston upon Thames, installing a cat flap yourself should not be too difficult. But, if you're looking to install it in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door, you need to seek outside assistance. These sorts of fixtures call for a professional installation by a reputable cat flap installer or handyman with the necessary skills and equipment.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN KINGSTON UPON THAMES

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap is going to be installed in a double glazed panel, and your appointed "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the work straight away and show them the gate. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazing window pane or door panel. Any type of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will detract from its thermal properties, strength and security. Your double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be done under any circumstances.

A reliable Kingston upon Thames cat flap installer will carefully take the precise measurements of your existing panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing supplier. This new panel will arrive with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure where your cat flap can be fitted. This is really the only way to install a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it might take a week or two to manufacture. Once you've taken possession of your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new unit fitted. The installing of the cat flap can then be concluded.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, solid timber doors are the easiest option with regards to cat flap installation on your house in Kingston upon Thames. If you are a bit unsure of cutting an opening in your front or back door, you might be happier contacting a professional cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This type of undertaking won't be all that expensive and is well worth doing correctly, if getting your cat flap professionally installed offers you that added peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can normally be fitted into uPVC doors. You or your fitter will need to find out what the internal construction of you door is, since for added security some uPVC door panels 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 might be easier to swap this for a single pane.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or security reasons, you do not wish to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could elect to install a cat flap in an exterior wall of your property in Kingston upon Thames. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a little more expertise and equipment to fit, so it's certainly better left to the pros. You can opt for a straightforward tunnel style, or maybe a right angle model that enables access via a pillar. With this kind of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted into a square hole cut into your specified wall. An appropriate cat flap is then mounted on each end of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Kingston upon Thames - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not working properly, the current hole in your wall, window or door can be used for a replacement as long as the new flap is of a comparable size. An expert Kingston upon Thames cat flap installer will gladly take off your old device and replace it with a brand new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the window, wall or door on which it's attached.

Before installing a new flap in a double glazed pane which has been previously pre-cut, checking that the current glass has been fabricated, cut and installed accurately is vital. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the panel must be taken out and exchanged to avoid any security and safety issues with the new cat flap.
