Cat Flap Fitter Manningtree Essex (CO11): A good way to improve your cat's independence and enrich it's quality of life is to install a cat flap on an exterior door or wall of your house in Manningtree. When kept inside, cats just like people, will get grumpy and irritated. Having a cat that is both physically and mentally fit, is just one of the positive aspects of giving your furry friend easy access to outside world by way of a cat flap. But what kind of cat flap is most suitable for your circumstances?
Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is just that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible piece of material fixed over it, to keep the weather out, but allow the cat climb through. Naturally, this is really basic, and will rarely sufficient for most Manningtree cat owners, who would no doubt prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their house, although it may be okay for an outhouse door or fence panel.

This basic design is still far from ideal since it allows other cats or animals a means by which to enter into your house, nevertheless it can be to some degree improved on by adding a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.
Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is equipped with one of these special collars, it won't be able to trigger the flap and leave or get into your house, therefore keeping out some unwanted visitors. The drawback is that any other cat in the Manningtree area that has a similar model of collar may be able to gain access to your house with this kind of cat flap fitted. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these products because they can be programmed by the pet's owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.
The kind of cat flap which is can be triggered by your cat's microchip, is the next level in Manningtree feline entry security. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you have more than one cat it will allow multiple entries. Entry and exit can only be achieved by micro-chipped animals, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is nearby.

Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you should make sure it's of a design that can be locked. The majority of cat flaps sold nowadays boast a 4-way locking mechanism. This means that it has the capability to enable exit from your property only, permit entry into your property only, be fully locked, or be put in two way exit and entry mode. This will provide you with choices for all times of night and day, to have control over how your cat flap operates. In line with your pet's and your requirements, there is even the option to carry out different functions according to the time of day, with several of the more expensive devices.
If you've got a wood door on your house in Manningtree, fitting you own cat flap should not be too difficult. But, if you're planning to fit it into a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you must ask for outside assistance. These types of fittings call for a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or handyman with the appropriate skills and equipment.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN MANNINGTREE
Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap needs to be installed in a double glazing door or window panel, and your appointed "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop them immediately and show them the gate. New cat flaps can't be fitted into existing double glazing window or door panels. Any type of double glazing will be ruined by cutting or drilling into it, and will detract from its thermal properties, strength and security. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it should never be attempted in any circumstances.
A reputable Manningtree cat flap fitter will diligently get the dimensions of your current panel and order a tailor-made one from a local glazing company. As a part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be installed perfectly into. You might have a 1 or 2 week waiting period for this to be manufactured, however if it's necessary to have a cat flap fitted into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is the only way to do it. Once you have taken possession of your new pane of glass, the old unit can be taken out and the new one fitted. It will now be possible to install and set up the cat flap.
External Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, timber doors are the easiest option when it comes to cat flap installation on your property in Manningtree. If you're somewhat dubious about creating a sizeable hole in your door, you may be happier getting in touch with an expert handyman or cat flap fitter instead. A project like this will not be expensive and will provide you with peace of mind that your pet will be climbing through a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in most instances. You'll need to find out what the interior structure of you door is, because for additional security certain uPVC door panels are made with a steel lining. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the easiest for cat flap installation, so if yours has got a slatted type door panel, it might be better to replace this with a single pane.
Wall Installation - If, for either safety or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of one of your doors, you could always decide to install the cat flap on an exterior wall of your home in Manningtree. Calling for a lot more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installation is certainly better left to a specialist, if it is to be accomplished correctly. There are a couple of possibilities for this sort of installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angled (through pillar) configuration. This installation calls for a neat square shaped hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted. A cat flap can then be attached to both ends of the hole.
Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Manningtree - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap fitted, but it has stopped working, or is damaged, it's perfectly possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A trustworthy cat flap fitter in Manningtree will be capable of removing the old cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the surrounding wall, window or door.
Before fitting a new flap in a double glazing pane that has been pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been cut and installed accurately is essential. The pane must be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems, if you discover that this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
