Cat Flap Fitter Marchwood

Cat Flap Fitter Marchwood Hampshire (SO40): The installation of a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your home in Marchwood, will allow it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own bit of independence and freedom. When kept indoors, cats as with humans, will get irritated and grouchy. Having a cat that is both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main benefits of giving your pet accessibility to world outside by way of a cat flap. If this sounds like a good option for you, what form of cat flap should you choose?

A cat flap at its most basic is merely that. A hole in a door with a flexible sheet of material hung over it, to give protection from the weather, but allow the cat pass through. Of course, this is really basic, and won't be adequate for most Marchwood cat owners, who would favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home, although it could be okay for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This simple design can be improved on slightly with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, but it's still a long way from being perfect as it enables other animals or cats to enter into your home.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap, are the next step up from the magnetic strip version. In this case, either a magnet, IR or RF 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 house, therefore avoiding some undesirable visitors. Again this is a pretty simple form of cat flap, since any other cat in the neighbourhood that has a similar collar will be able to gain access to your house. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some extent with an RF cat flap/collar system providing an owner programmed unique identifier.

The next step-up in feline entrance security is to choose a model of cat flap which can be triggered by your pet's own microchip. You have to enter the 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 allow multiple entries. Entry and exit can only be achieved by microchipped pets, and the flap is unlocked whenever you cat is in close proximity.

The ability to lock it in place is essential regardless which cat flap you are purchasing. These days, the majority of cat flaps available on the market have a 4-way locking mechanism for added security. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit only admittance into your house, permit only exit from your home, be locked fully, or have 2-way exit and entry functionality. This gives complete control over how your cat flap functions both throughout the day and during the night. In keeping with yours and your pet's needs, there's even the option to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, with several of the top-end devices.

Fitting a cat flap yourself can be fairly easy if you've got a solid wood door, and reasonable DIY capabilities. 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 it on your own. These sorts of fixtures call for a professional installation from a reliable cat flap installer or odd job man with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN MARCHWOOD

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, send them on their way immediately. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Making holes in your double glazing damages not simply the security and strength of the panel, but it compromises the insulating attributes too. In actual fact, it renders your glazing unsound and it should never be done.

It is necessary to get a new double glazing unit made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your chosen Marchwood cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current panel and order the new one. This new panel will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its construction where the cat flap can be installed. This is the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, even though it may take two weeks or so to manufacture. Once you have received your new glass panel, the old one can be taken out and the new unit installed. The cat flap will then be mounted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The most straightforward option for new cat flap installations in Marchwood, as was stated earlier in this article, are wood doors. If you're uncomfortable with creating a hole in your front door, it's probably a good idea to contact a specialist to complete the task for you. This type of undertaking won't be too costly and is worthwhile doing correctly, if having your cat flap expertly installed offers you that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly feasible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. You or your installer will need to establish what the internal structure of you door actually is, since for extra security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. A one-piece panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it might be less expensive to replace the panel with a single panel style.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could opt to install the cat flap into an external wall of your property in Marchwood. Calling for considerably more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap install is certainly best left to the pros, if it is to be completed successfully. Nearly all cat flap installations in walls involve a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angular access via a pillar is also possible. With this sort of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly made into your specified wall. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on either end to permit your furry pal to come and go as it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Marchwood - If your window, door or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it is not working properly, or is damaged, it's quite possible to mount a replacement over the current hole. An experienced Marchwood cat flap installer will gladly take off your old unit and swap it for a new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the wall, door or window on which it is secured.

When your installation involves a pre-cut hole in double glazing, it is important to make sure that this was previously done accurately, before fitting the new cat flap. If you discover this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass pane will have to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues.
