Cat Flap Fitter Leominster Herefordshire (HR6): Fitting a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your property in Leominster, will enable it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of independence. Cats tend to get irritated and grumpy when kept inside, and not able to roam. Allowing your cat accessibility to world outside via a cat flap can help keep them mentally and physically fit. However, what sort of cat flap is better for your circumstances?
Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is just that. A piece of bendable material placed over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to pass through, but keep out the elements. Of course, this is very basic, and will not be good enough for most Leominster cat owners, who would no doubt favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although it may be okay for an outhouse or shed door.
This uncomplicated model can be improved on to some degree with magnetic strips to hold the flap in place, but it is still far from ideal as it enables other animals or cats a means by which to enter into your house.
The next step up from the magnetic strip style are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this kind of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar featuring an RF chip, IR or magnet. No animal will be able to leave or get into your home unless it's equipped with this special collar. The downside is that any other moggy in the Leominster area that's got a similar style of collar can still get into your house with this sort of cat flap. An improvement to this equipment is a RF cat flap and collar system which provides a unique identifier that can be programmed by the user. Your feline friend is the sole one to gain access, offering an additional layer of security and control.
Fitting a cat flap that can be triggered by your cat's micro-chip, is the next step-up in entry gadgets for felines in Leominster. The micro-chip details are entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one cat). Entry and exit can only be accomplished by micro-chipped pets, and the flap will be unfastened whenever you cat is in close proximity.
No matter which cat flap you buy, it should be capable of being locked in place. Currently, almost all cat flaps on the market feature a 4-way locking mechanism for added security. Which means that the cat flap can be fully locked, allow entry into your home only, permit only exit from your home, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This offers you a variety of choices on how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night. A few more advanced models can be set to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, in keeping with your pet's and your requirements.
Putting in a cat flap yourself can be pretty easy if you've got a solid wood door on your Leominster property, and decent DIY abilities. But, if you are intending to install it in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you need to seek outside assistance. This sort of installation calls for the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and talented handymen who'll be glad to take on such a task.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN LEOMINSTER
Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to fit your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, send them on their way immediately. New cat flaps can not be mounted into existing double glazed doors or window panels. Making holes in your double glazing destroys not just the strength and security of the panel, but it compromises the insulation attributes as well. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it shouldn't be done in any circumstances.
A reliable Leominster cat flap fitter will diligently take the precise measurements of your current unit and order a custom-made one from a local glazing firm. To ensure that the cat flap can be neatly fitted into it, this new double glazing pane will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its structure. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, although it may take a week or more to produce. Once you've taken possession of your new adapted pane of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new one installed. The cat flap will then be installed.
Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as I mentioned above, the simplest alternatives for cat flap installation in Leominster. It is normally better to bring in an experienced carpenter or cat flap fitter, if you are at all uncomfortable with creating a big hole in your front door. This should provide you with the reassurance that you will finish up with a professionally fitted cat friendly flap, and that the project has been completed in the right and proper way.
uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in many instances. You or your fitter will need to verify what the interior structure of you door actually is, since for added security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. The easiest kind of installation is in doors having one single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be easier and cheaper overall to replace the slatted panel with a one piece panel.
Wall Installation - If you do not really want to have a hole cut in your doors, for safety or aesthetic reasons, you could always have a cat flap installed on an outside wall. Requiring a lot more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap installation is undoubtedly better left to a professional, if it's to be executed successfully. The majority of wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnel style, however right angled access through a pillar is also possible. A neat square shaped hole will be cut through your wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. A cat flap of your choice is then mounted on both ends to enable your furry pal to enter and exit as it wishes.
Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Leominster - If your window, wall or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it isn't working, or is damaged, it's perfectly possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. An expert Leominster cat flap fitter will gladly remove your old entry device and replace it with a new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the window, door or wall on which it's secured.
When the installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it is essential to check that this was previously done correctly, before fixing the new cat flap. The glass pane will have to be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety issues, if it's found that this is not the case and corners were cut in the original installation.
