Cat Flap Fitter Kingswinford

Cat Flap Fitter Kingswinford West Midlands (DY6): Fitting a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Kingswinford home helps to give your cat the independence and freedom that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats are quite like people in a lot of ways, and will often start to show signs of anxiety and frustration if kept indoors for long periods of time. When your precious cat is allowed easy access to the outside world via a cat flap, there's a far better likelihood of it staying both physically and mentally healthy. So, you're sold on the idea, but what is perfect sort of cat flap for your precious pet?

A cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a flexible material is hung over it to offer a bit of some protection from the elements. The vast majority of cat owners in Kingswinford would doubtless favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their home, although this may be okay for a garden fence panel or shed door.

As this option will allow other cats or animals to enter your home, it is not at all ideal, though it can be improved on a little by keeping the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. This requires your cat to wear a collar that has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased inside it. No animal is going to be able to get into or leave your home unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. The drawback here is that any other cat in the Kingswinford area who's got a similar style of collar will be able to access your house when using this kind of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be improved to a certain extent with an RF cat flap/collar system offering a user programmed unique identifier. Only your furry companion gains access, thus adding an extra layer of security and control.

Installing a cat flap that can be operated by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in entrance security for felines in Kingswinford. The microchip number is entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one cat). Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to exit/enter.

Being able to lock it in position is vital whichever cat flap you're buying. Currently, the majority of cat flaps on the market feature a four way locking system for added security. This makes it possible for your cat flap to enable only exit from your home, be locked fully, permit admittance into your premises only, or have two way entry and exit capability. This gives you a range of options on how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night time. A few higher end models can be set to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, based on your pet's and your needs.

Installing a cat flap by yourself can be fairly easy if you have a solid wood door, and reasonable DIY skills. Although, if it has to be fitted in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt it by yourself. This sort of installation requires the attention of an expert, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and talented odd job men who are happy to take on such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN KINGSWINFORD

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel, send them on their way immediately. It isn't possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed door panel or window pane. Drilling holes in any kind of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, together with its thermal properties. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsound.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazed panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your chosen Kingswinford cat flap installer will measure your existing pane and order a brand new one. As a part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be fitted nicely into. This is basically the only way to install a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, although it can take a week or more to manufacture. Once your new panel of glass arrives, the installer will take out the old one, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. Your cat flap can then be fitted.

External Wooden Doors - The least complicated option for installing a new cat flap in Kingswinford, as was mentioned previously, are timber doors. If you're a little dubious about making an opening in your front door, you might be better off contacting an expert handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This will provide you with the peace of mind that you are going to wind up with an expertly fitted cat flap, and that the project has been done properly and without causing harm to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be often be fitted with a cat flap. It is necessary to know the internal construction, because some uPVC door panels have a steel lining for further security. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the best for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted type door panel, it might be easier to swap this for a single pane.

Wall Installation - If you don't want to cut holes in your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons, you can have a cat flap installed within an external wall. A wall cat flap entrance requires considerably more skill and equipment to fit, therefore it is certainly best left to an expert. Most wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angled access via a pillar is also a possibility. A neat 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 an appropriate cat flap so that your furry pal can enter and exit the house whenever it wants.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Kingswinford - If your window, wall or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working, or is damaged, it's entirely possible to mount a replacement over the current hole. A trusted cat flap fitter in Kingswinford will be capable of removing the old cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the door, wall or window.

If the substitute cat flap is to be installed in a pre cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must make sure that the existing glass has been cut and installed correctly. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the pane must be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems with the new flap.
