Cat Flap Fitter Liphook

Cat Flap Fitter Liphook Hampshire (GU30): A great way to give your cat more independence and enrich it's overally quality of life is to install a cat flap on an external wall or door of your house in Liphook. Cats are just like people in many ways, and will typically start to show signs of frustration and unease if kept indoors for significant periods of time. Having easy access to world outside by way of a cat flap will help your furry friend to remain fit, both mentally and physically. If this sounds like a great idea to you, precisely what style of cat flap should you put in?

The most rudimentry style of cat flap is basically that. A hole in a door with a bendable piece of material hung over it, to keep the weather out, but let the cat climb through. Naturally, this is very basic, and won't be sufficient for most Liphook cat owners, who would no doubt favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their property, although it might be appropriate for an outhouse door or fence panel.

This uncomplicated design is still a long way from being ideal since it allows other cats or animals a means by which to get into your house, however it can be somewhat improved upon with the addition of magnetic strips to keep the flap in place.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip version. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be encased in your cat's collar. No animal will be able to leave or get into your house unless it is fitted with one of these special collars. The fact that any other cat in the neighbourhood who has a similar collar can easily get into your property, is the downside with this still fairly basic sort of cat flap. An improvement to this device is a RF cat flap/collar system which has a unique identifier that can be programmed by the householder.

The next level in feline entrance security is to fit the kind of cat flap that recognises your cat's micro-chip. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the memory the cat flap (which is powered by batteries), and if you've got several cats it will accept multiple entries. The flap is unlocked anytime your cat is in close proximity, only allowing access to animals that are microchipped.

Whenever you are buying a cat flap, you should make sure that it's of a type that can be locked. Most cat flaps sold today boast a 4-way locking mechanism. This means that it has the capability to be locked fully, allow entry into your premises only, allow exit only, or be put in two way entry and exit mode. This gives full control over how your cat flap operates both during the day and throughout the night time. A few of the higher end devices can be programmed to carry out different functions according to the time of day, based on yours and your pet's requirements.

If you are fairly decent at do-it-yourself, putting in your own cat flap should not be too difficult, if you have a timber door on your property in Liphook. Although, if it is going to be fitted in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt to tackle it on your own. These situations call for the expertise and skills of a specialist cat flap fitter or odd job man, who is sure to have have all the tools and knowledge for this sort of installation.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN LIPHOOK

Double Glazing Installations - If you hire somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to install your new cat flap, stop them without delay and ask them to leave. A new cat flap can't be fitted into a pre-existing double glazed door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will diminish its security, strength and thermal attributes. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will make the double glazing unsafe.

A reputable Liphook cat flap installer will meticulously measure up your current pane and order a purpose made one from a local glazing company. As a part of its construction this new glazed panel will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed perfectly into. This is the only way to install a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door, even though it can take a week or more to manufacture. Once you have received your new adapted glass pane, the old unit can be removed and the new panel installed. It will now be possible to install and set up your cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The simplest option for new cat flap installations in Liphook, as was stated earlier in this article, are solid wood door panels. It is normally safer to get in touch with an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you're hesitant about making a big hole in your front door. A project of this type is relatively inexpensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your pet can enjoy a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can normally be installed into uPVC doors. However, some uPVC doors have got a steel lining for added security, which could cause problems. The models of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted style panel, it might be easier to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you don't want to have a hole cut into your door, you could opt to install your cat flap in an external wall of your home in Liphook. A wall cat flap entrance calls for considerably more expertise and equipment to fit, so it's definitely better left to a specialist. You'll find there are several possibilities for this type of installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angled (through pillar) adaption. This installation involves a neat square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with a cat flap so your furry pal can get out of and into your house whenever it wants.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Liphook - If you've already got a cat flap installed on a wall, window or door, but it's damaged or not functioning properly, the existing hole can hopefully still be used for installing a replacement. A specialist Liphook cat flap fitter will be happy to take out your old device and swap it for a fresh cat flap without causing any harm to the wall, window or door on which it's secured.

Before installing the new cat flap in a double glazing pane that's been pre-cut, confirming that the existing glass has been fabricated, cut and installed in the right way is essential. The glass panel will need to be removed and exchanged to avoid any safety and security issues, if it's found that this is not the case and corners were cut in the earlier installation.
