Market Rasen Cat Flap Installation & Repair

Cat Flap Fitter Market Rasen Lincolnshire (LN8): To give your cat the independence and freedom it needs to live a happy life, you could fit a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Market Rasen home. Cats are like people in many ways, and will often start to show signs of frustration and irritability if kept indoors for significant periods of time. Allowing your furry friend access to the world outside with a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. So, you are sold on the idea, but which is best sort of cat flap for your precious pet?

The most rudimentry type of cat flap is basically that. A hole is cut in a door and a flexible material is fixed over the gap to offer protection from the elements. The majority of cat owners in Market Rasen would doubtless prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their property, although this may be appropriate for a shed door or fence panel.

This standard model can be improved on a little with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position, but it is still a long way off being perfect since it allows other animals or cats to get into your home.

The next step up from the magnetic strip design are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. This requires that your cat wears a collar that's got either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased in it. Subsequently, any animal that doesn't have one of these special collars can't leave or get into your house. The downside is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that has a similar style of collar can easily access your house when using this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system having an owner programmed unique identifier.

A model of cat flap which is able to identify your pet's microchip, is the next stage in Market Rasen feline access security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you have more than one cat), to give exclusive access. The flap is unlocked when your cat is in close proximity, only allowing entry or exit to pets that are microchipped.

Being able to lock it in position is important no matter which cat flap you're buying. These days, most cat flaps available on the market boast a 4-way locking system for extra security. This makes it possible for your cat flap to be fully locked, enable entry into your premises only, permit exit only, or have two-way entry and exit functionality. This gives you a number of options on precisely how your cat flap works any time of the day and night time. In keeping with yours and your cat's needs, there is even the possibility to carry out different functions according to the time of day, with several of the top-end devices.

Fitting a cat flap on your own can be pretty straightforward if you have a solid wood door on your Market Rasen home, and decent DIY capabilities. Although, if it needs to be fitted in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you should not even attempt to tackle it on your own. Such situations require the skills and expertise of a specialist cat flap installer or handyman, who'll have the knowledge and tools for this kind of installation.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN MARKET RASEN

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while trying to fit your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, send them packing immediately. It's just not possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazing will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will take away its insulating attributes, strength and security. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should not be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

An experienced cat flap fitter will measure up your current double glazed pane and have a glazing firm knock up a new pane. To ensure that the cat flap can be snugly installed into it, this new glazed panel will arrive with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure. You might have a 1 or 2 week wait for this special pane to be made, but if you want a cat flap fitted into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, this is really the only way to do it. Once you have acquired your new adapted glass pane, the old unit can be removed and the new panel fitted. Your cat flap can then be put in.

External Wooden Doors - Solid wooden door panels are, as already stated, the simplest alternatives for installing a new cat flap in Market Rasen. If you are somewhat unsure about cutting an opening in your back or front door, you may be happier getting in touch with an experienced handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This should provide you with the peace of mind that you are going to finish up with an expertly installed cat flap, and that the job has been carried out in the right and proper way.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be installed into uPVC doors in many cases. You will have to determine what the internal construction of you door is, since for extra security some uPVC door panels are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. A one-piece panel enables easier installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it may be cheaper to swap the panel for a single panel model.

Wall Installation - It is also feasible to have a cat flap mounted on an external wall of your home in Market Rasen, if you do not wish to cut chunks out of your doors, for security or aesthetic reasons. Needing considerably more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap installation is undoubtedly better left to the pros, if it is to be accomplished correctly. You could go for a straight through tunnel style, or perhaps a right angled model that permits access through a pillar. A square hole will need to be cut through your selected wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. The cat flap you have chosen can then be attached at both ends to enable your furry pal to come in and out as it pleases.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Market Rasen - If you've already got a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not functioning properly, the current hole in your wall, window or door can be used for a replacement provided that the new cat flap is of a comparable size. Your cat flap fitter should be able to take off the old cat flap, without harming the window, wall or door, and install a new flap in its place for your cat.

Before attaching the new cat flap in a double glazing pane that's been pre-cut, confirming that the existing glass has been made and installed in the right way is essential. If it's found this is not the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the panel must be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems.
