Cat Flap Fitter Lechlade

Cat Flap Fitter Lechlade Gloucestershire (GL7): Installing a cat flap doesn't just save you the headache of opening the door every time the cat needs to stroll in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and boosts it's overall quality of life. Just like humans, when kept indoors, cats will frequently start to show signs of frustration and irritability. Having a cat that's both physically and mentally fit, is just one of the positive aspects of giving your pet accessibility to world outside by way of a cat flap. So, you think it's a good idea, but what is best sort of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The simplest form of cat flap is basically that. A hole is cut in an external door and a bendable material is fixed over the gap to give a bit of protection from the elements. Though this may be acceptable in a garden fence panel or outhouse door, the majority of cat owners in Lechlade would no doubt favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their house.

This standard model can be to some degree improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, however it is still far from perfect since it enables other cats or animals to get into your property.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. This involves your cat wearing a collar which has either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased in it. No animal will be able to get into or leave your property unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. The downside is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who has a similar style of collar could perchance gain access to your home with this kind of cat flap. An enhancement to this device is an RF cat flap/collar system which contains a unique identifier which can be programmed by the householder.

The next stage in feline entrance security is to fit the type of cat flap which recognises your pet's own micro-chip. The micro-chip details are programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one cat). The flap is unlocked anytime your cat is nearby, only allowing entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.

When you are purchasing a cat flap, you should make sure that it's of a type that can be locked into position. The majority of cat flaps sold these days have a four way locking system. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit only access into your home, be locked fully, enable only exit from your home, or have two way exit and entry capability. This offers you a variety of solutions on precisely how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night time. Some of the high end models can be set to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, in keeping with your pet's and your needs.

If you're pretty decent at DIY, installing your own cat flap should not be too difficult, as long as you have a timber door on your Lechlade home. But, if you're hoping to install it into a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you ought to seek outside help. This sort of installation requires the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and skilled carpenters who'll be delighted to accept such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN LECHLADE

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while trying to install your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazing window or door panel, immediately send them packing. New cat flaps cannot be fitted into existing double glazing window or door panels. Cutting into any sort of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, as well as its insulating attributes. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it should never be done in any circumstances.

It is necessary to get a new double glazed unit made especially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your local Lechlade cat flap installer will take the measurements of your existing pane and put in an order for the new one. This new glazed pane will arrive with a hole cut out as a part of its construction where your cat flap will be installed. This is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, even though it might take two weeks or so to produce. As soon as your new panel of glass is delivered, the fitter will take out the old one, and replace it with the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. The installation of the cat flap will then be concluded.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The easiest alternative for cat flap installations in Lechlade, as was mentioned previously, are timber doors. If you're uncomfortable with creating a hole in your front door, it's wise to call an expert to do the job for you. This sort of undertaking won't be too costly and is really worth doing properly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional gives you that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly feasible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. However, some uPVC door panels are steel lined for added security, which could cause problems. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the simplest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted style panel, it might be easier to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - It's also a possibility to get a cat flap mounted into an exterior wall of your property in Lechlade, if you do not wish to cut chunks out of your doors, whether for safety or aesthetic reasons. A cat flap entrance in a wall calls for a little more equipment and skill to fit, therefore it's definitely better left to an expert. You can choose a straightforward tunnel style, or maybe a right angled model that enables access through a pillar. Installation calls for a square shaped hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted. Both ends of the hole are then installed with an appropriate cat flap so your feline friend can get out of and into your house whenever it desires.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Lechlade - If you've already got a cat flap installed on your window, door or wall, but it's broken or not working properly, the existing hole can hopefully be re-used for the installation of a replacement. A professional Lechlade cat flap installer will be happy to take off your old entry device and replace it with a fresh cat flap without causing any damage to the wall, door or window on which it's attached.

When the cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it is essential to make sure that this was previously done correctly, before fitting the new flap. The glass pane will have to be removed and exchanged to avoid any safety and security issues, if it becomes obvious that this isn't the case and corners were cut in the original installation.
