Cat Flap Fitter Lowestoft

Cat Flap Fitter Lowestoft Suffolk (NR32): Fitting a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Lowestoft house provides your cat with the independence that it needs to live a happy life. Cats kept inside, as with people, will often show signs of irritation. Giving your furry friend access to the world outside by means of a cat flap can help to keep them physically and mentally fit. However, what type of cat flap is most suitable in your case?

The simplest form of cat flap is basically that. A hole in a door with a bendable piece of material hung over it, to give protection from the elements, but let the cat go through. The majority of cat owners in Lowestoft would doubtless favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their home, although this may be okay for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.

This simple design is still far from ideal since it allows other creatures or cats to enter your property, but it can be improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip version. This requires that your cat wears a collar which has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased within it. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your house unless it is fitted with this special collar. The downside here is that any other cat in the area that's got a similar style of collar can easily access your house with this sort of cat flap fitted. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of this equipment and can be programmed by the cat's owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat.

Choosing a cat flap which can identify your pet's own micro-chip, is the next level in access security for felines. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you've got more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. Whenever your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and permits solely your microchipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

The ability to lock it in position is vital no matter which cat flap you're purchasing. Most cat flaps sold today boast a 4-way locking mechanism. This allows your cat flap to permit exit only, be locked fully, enable admission into your home only, or have two-way entry and exit capability. This offers you choices for all times of night and day, to control precisely how your cat flap operates. The facility to carry out different functions according to the time of day, and in line with yours and your cat's requirements is also a possibility with some of the higher end brands of cat flap.

If you've got a wooden door in your home in Lowestoft, installing you own cat flap should not be too difficult. But, if you are planning to fit it into a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door, you should seek outside help. This kind of installation calls for the attention of a professional, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and skilled carpenters who'll be glad to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN LOWESTOFT

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, send them on their way immediately. A new cat flap cannot be installed into an existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Cutting into any sort of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, along with its insulation attributes. In actual fact, it makes the glazing unsound and it should never be done.

A professional cat flap installer will measure your current double glazing pane and have a local glazing company knock up a new one. So 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 construction. This is really the only way to install a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door, although it may take a week or two to manufacture. Once your new glass panel shows up, the fitter will remove the old one, and replace it with the new "cat flap ready" pane. It's now possible to install and set up the cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as I previously mentioned, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Lowestoft. If you are unsure about cutting a hole in your front or back door, it's wise to call an expert to undertake the project for you. This should give you the satisfaction of knowing that you'll end up with a professionally installed cat friendly flap, and that the job has been accomplished properly and without causing harm to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can in general be installed into uPVC doors. It pays to know the interior construction, as some uPVC doors are steel lined for further security. A one-piece door panel enables simpler installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it may be more economical to swap the panel for a single pane style.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or security reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could opt to install your cat flap on an exterior wall of your house. Requiring a lot more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is undoubtedly better left to a specialist, if it's to be accomplished successfully. Most wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnel style, however right angular access via a pillar is also a possibility. A square shaped hole will need to be cut through your selected wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. Each end of the hole is then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so your feline friend can get out of and into your house whenever it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Lowestoft - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not functioning correctly, the current hole in your window, door or wall can be fitted with a replacement providing the new cat flap is of a similar size. You local cat flap fitter should be able to remove the old cat flap, without harming the surrounding window, wall or door, and install a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

If the substitute cat flap is going to be fitted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must double check that the existing glass has been manufactured, cut and installed accurately. If it's found that this isn't the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass must be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues.
