Cat Flap Fitter Midhurst

Cat Flap Fitter Midhurst West Sussex (GU29): Fitting a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Midhurst house provides your cat with the independence it needs to live a happy life. When constantly kept inside, cats just like people, will get irritated and crabby. Allowing your cat access to the world outside via a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. So, you are sold on the idea, but exactly what is best kind of cat flap for your precious pet?

The most basic style of cat flap, is just that. A hole is cut in a door and a bendable material is hung over the gap to offer a bit of some protection from the elements. Obviously, this is really basic, and will not be adequate for most Midhurst cat owners, who would no doubt prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although it might be acceptable for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This simple design can be marginally improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position, but it is still far from ideal because it enables other cats or animals to enter into your home.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are the next step up from the basic magnetic strip version. This involves your cat wearing a collar which has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased in it. No animal is going to be able to leave or access your house unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. The fact that any other cat in the neighbourhood that has a similar style of collar could perchance gain access to your house, is the drawback with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to a certain extent with an RF cat flap/collar system having a user programmed unique identifier.

The next step-up in feline entry security is to consider a cat flap which identifies your cat's micro-chip. You have to enter the number of your cat's microchip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you have more than one pet it will take multiple entries. The flap will be unlocked anytime your cat is in close proximity, only allowing access to pets that are microchipped.

No matter which cat flap you buy, it must have the ability to be locked in position. The majority of cat flaps sold today feature a 4-way locking mechanism. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit exit from your property only, permit admittance into your property only, be locked fully, or have two way entry and exit capability. This gives you a number of choices on how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night. In line with your cat's and your requirements, there is even the possibility to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with a few of the more advanced models.

If you are pretty decent at do-it-yourself, fitting your own cat flap shouldn't be that difficult, if you have a solid wood door on your Midhurst home. Not in any circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. Such situations call for the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, who'll have all the equipment and knowledge for this type of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN MIDHURST

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to employ someone who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your cat flap, stop them at once and request that they leave. A new cat flap cannot be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Cutting or drilling into any type of double glazing will damage its security and strength, as well as its thermal insulation properties. Actually, it renders your glazing unsafe and it should not ever be done.

A professional cat flap fitter will measure up your current double glazed pane and have a glazing company knock up a new purpose made one. As part of its structure this new double glazing unit will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be fitted nicely into. This is really the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, even though it may take two weeks or so to manufacture. Once you have taken possession of your new glass panel, the old one can be removed and the new unit fitted. It's now possible to install and set up the new cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - Solid wooden door panels are, as previously mentioned, the simplest options for new cat flap installation in Midhurst. It is usually best to employ the expert services of a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you're uncomfortable with cutting a big hole in your front or back door. This sort of project will not be expensive and will provide you with the assurance of knowing that your kitty can enjoy an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can usually be installed into uPVC doors. It pays to know the interior construction, since some doors can have a steel lining for additional security. The easiest kind of installation is in doors with one single panel, therefore if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be cheaper and easier in the long run to exchange the slats for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or safety reasons, you don't want to have a hole cut into a door, you could always decide to install a cat flap in an external wall of your house. Requiring much more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is definitely best left to the pros, if it's to be accomplished correctly. You can decide on a straightforward tunnel style, or perhaps a right angle model that allows entry via a pillar. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted into a square hole cut out of your specified wall. Each end of the hole is then installed with a cat flap so that your feline friend can get out of and into your house whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Midhurst - If you already have a cat flap fitted on a window, wall or door, but it's broken or not working correctly, the current hole can, with a little luck, still be used for installing a replacement. You local cat flap installer should be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without harming the surrounding door, window or wall, and install a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

Before fitting a new flap in a double glazing pane which has been pre-cut, checking that the current glass has been manufactured, cut and installed correctly is vital. The glass will need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems, if you discover this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
