Cat Flap Fitter Long Eaton

Cat Flap Fitter Long Eaton Derbyshire (NG10): An effective way to enhance your cat's independence and boost it's overally quality of life is to install a cat flap on an exterior wall or door of your property in Long Eaton. Cats are similar to humans in many ways, and will typically show signs of frustration and unease if kept inside for lengthy periods of time. Having accessibility to world outside by means of a cat flap will help your cat to keep fit, both mentally and physically. So, you are sold on the idea, but precisely what is best style of cat flap for your pet?

A cat flap at its most basic is just that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible piece of material placed over it, to keep the elements out, but let the cat move through. Most cat owners in Long Eaton would doubtless favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their property, although this may be appropriate for a garden fence panel or shed door.

This simple design is still a long way from being perfect since it allows other cats or creatures a way to enter your house, however it can be improved on a little with the addition of magnetic strips to hold the flap in place.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap, are the next step up from the magnetic strip version. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will be unable to trigger the flap and get into or leave your property, thus keeping out some unwelcome visitors. Once again this is a fairly simple type of cat flap, as any other cat in the area who has a similar model of collar may be able to gain access to your property. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of this equipment because they can be programmed by the user to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

Fitting a cat flap which can identify your cat's own micro-chip, is the next level in entry gadgets for felines. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you have more than one cat), to give exclusive access. The flap will be unfastened anytime your cat is close-by, only allowing entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.

Regardless of what cat flap you buy, it must have the ability to be locked in position. These days, the majority of cat flaps available on the market boast a 4-way locking system for added security. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit only admittance into your house, be locked fully, permit exit from your home only, or have two-way exit and entry functionality. This will provide you with a number of options on exactly how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night. A few higher end cat flaps can be set to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, based on your cat's and your needs.

If you're fairly good at DIY, fitting a cat flap shouldn't be too difficult, if you've got a timber door on your Long Eaton home. Although, if it is going to be fitted into a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt to tackle it on your own. This sort of installation will require the attention of an expert, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and talented odd job men who'll be happy to accept such work.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN LONG EATON

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazing panel, send them packing immediately. New cat flaps can not be installed into existing double glazing window or door panels. Cutting or drilling into any type of double glazing will damage its security and strength, as well as its thermal insulation properties. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsafe.

A trustworthy Long Eaton cat flap fitter will diligently get the dimensions of your existing unit and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing supplier. As part of its construction this new double glazed panel will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed perfectly into. This can take a week or so to manufacture, but it is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door. As soon as your new glass panel is delivered, the fitter will take out the old unit, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. Your cat flap can then be fitted.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, wooden doors are the least complicated option with regards to cat flap installation on your home in Long Eaton. It is generally wise to hire the services of a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you are in any way nervous about making a big hole in your front door. This type of undertaking won't be all that expensive and is well worth doing properly, if having your cat flap professionally installed offers you that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be sometimes be suitable for a cat flap. You'll have to find out what the interior construction of you door is, because for added security certain uPVC door panels are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for cat flap installation, so if yours has got a slatted type door panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single pane.

Wall Installation - It is also a possibility to have a cat flap fitted in an exterior wall of your property in Long Eaton, if you do not wish to cut chunks out of your doors, for safety or aesthetic reasons. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a bit more equipment and expertise to install, therefore it is definitely better left to the pros. There are a couple of possibilities for this installation, including a straightforward version, or a right angled (through pillar) configuration. A square hole will need to be made through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. A cat flap is then mounted on each end of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Long Eaton - If you already have a cat flap installed on your window, wall or door, but it's broken or not working properly, the current hole can hopefully be re-used for the installation of a new one. A reputable cat flap fitter in Long Eaton will be able to remove your unwanted cat flap, and fit a new one as a replacement without harming the surrounding window, door or wall.

Before installing the new cat flap in a double glazing pane that has been previously pre-cut, making certain that the current glass has been cut and installed correctly is essential. The panel must be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems, if it is found that this isn't the case and corners were cut during the original installation.
