Cat Flap Fitter Melksham

Cat Flap Fitter Melksham Wiltshire (SN12): Installing a cat flap doesn't only save you the bother of having to open the door every time your cat needs to stroll out or in, it also affords your cat more independence and improves it's quality of life. Cats tend to get grouchy and irritated when kept indoors, and not able to roam free. When permitted quick access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your precious cat has a better chance of staying healthy and strong. Obviously, that's not the end of the story, since there are many kinds of cat flap, and figuring out which one is best for your pet isn't always simple.

A cat flap at its most basic is just that. A hole is cut into an external door and a bendable material is hung over it to give some protection from the elements. Obviously, this is very basic, and will not be adequate for most Melksham cat owners, who would no doubt favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property, although it may be okay for an outhouse or shed door.

As this option can allow other animals or cats to enter your house, it is not at all recommended, though it can be enhanced a bit by holding the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap. With these, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be encased in your cat's collar. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your home unless it's fitted with this special collar. The fact that any other moggy in the area who's got a similar style of collar may be able to get into your property, is the drawback with this still fairly basic sort of cat flap. An upgrade to this device is a RF cat flap and collar system which contains a unique identifier which can be programmed by the home owner.

The next level in feline access security is to consider the kind of cat flap that can be triggered by your pet's micro-chip. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you have several cats), to provide exclusive access. The flap is unlocked whenever your cat is in close proximity, only allowing exit or entry to pets that have a microchip.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you should make sure it's of a type that can be locked into position. For added security, nearly all cat flaps have a 4-way locking system these days. Which means that the cat flap can be locked fully, permit admission into your premises only, permit exit only, or be set for 2-way exit and entry. This gives full control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night. A few of the higher end cat flaps can be set to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, in line with yours and your pet's needs.

Installing a cat flap on your own can be fairly simple if you've got a solid timber door, and respectable DIY abilities. Under no circumstances should you try and install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These types of fixtures call for a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap installer or odd job man with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN MELKSHAM

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, send them packing immediately. It isn't possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Any sort of double glazing will be damaged by cutting into it, and will detract from its strength, security and thermal insulation properties. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it shouldn't be attempted under any circumstances whatsoever.

A specialist cat flap installer will measure the existing double glazing unit and have a glazing firm knock up a new purpose made one. So the cat flap can be perfectly installed into it, this new double glazed unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its construction. This could take one or two weeks to manufacture, however it's basically the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. After fabrication, your old glass can be removed, and the brand new one put in. Your cat flap will then be installed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, solid wooden door panels are the least complicated option when it comes to installing a new cat flap on your property in Melksham. If you are somewhat unsure of cutting an opening in your front or back door, you might be happier contacting an experienced cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you are going to wind up with an expertly installed cat friendly flap, and that the project has been undertaken correctly and without causing harm to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can usually be installed into uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the interior construction, since some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for further security. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the best for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it may be advisable to swap this for a single pane.

Wall Installation - If, for security or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of one of your doors, you could elect to install your cat flap in an outside wall of your house in Melksham. Requiring considerably more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installation is definitely best left to a specialist, if it is to be accomplished successfully. Most wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnel style, however right angled access through a pillar is also a possibility. A square shaped hole will have to be made through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. Each end of the hole is then fitted with a cat flap so your cat can enter and exit your house whenever it wants.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Melksham - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap installed, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it is possible to mount a replacement over the existing hole. Your cat flap installer will be able to remove the old cat flap, without damaging the door, window or wall, and fit a new flap for your cat.

When your cat flap installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it will be important to make certain that this was previously done accurately, before fixing the new flap. If it becomes obvious this is not the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass unit must be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems.
