Cat Flap Fitter Mildenhall

Cat Flap Fitter Mildenhall Suffolk (IP28): The installation of a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your property in Mildenhall, will enable it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of freedom and independence. When constantly kept indoors, cats as with people, will get irritated and grumpy. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main benefits of giving your furry friend accessibility to outside world by way of a cat flap. So, you think it's a great idea, but what is perfect sort of cat flap for your beloved pet?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is simply that. A hole in a door with a flexible sheet of material hung over it, to keep out the elements, but let the cat go through. Naturally, this is very basic, and will not be adequate for most Mildenhall cat owners, who would doubtless prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their house, although it may be appropriate for an outhouse door or fence panel.

This basic model is still a long way off being perfect because it allows other animals or cats a way to get into your property, nevertheless it can be improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place.

A step up from the magnetic strip style are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be encased in your cat's collar. No animal is going to be able to leave or get into your property unless it's fitted with one of these special collars. The point that any other moggy in the Mildenhall area that has a similar model of collar could perhaps gain access to your house, is the downside with this kind of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be improved to a certain degree with an RF cat flap/collar system having an owner programmed unique identifier.

Choosing a cat flap that can be triggered by your pet's own microchip, is the next level in access security for felines. You need to enter the details of your cat's microchip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you've got more than one cat it will take multiple entries. When your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to enter or exit.

When you are purchasing a cat flap, you should make certain it is of a type that can be locked. For extra flexibility, almost all cat flaps have a four way locking mechanism these days. This means that it's got the capability to allow exit only, be fully locked, allow entrance into your home only, or be put in two-way exit and entry mode. This provides you with choices for all times of day and night, to have control over how your cat flap functions. In line with your pet's and your requirements, there's even the option to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, with a few of the top-end models.

Installing a cat flap on your own can be really straightforward if you've got a solid timber door on your Mildenhall property, and decent do-it-yourself abilities. But, if you are hoping to fit it in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you ought to ask for outside assistance. This type of installation requires the attention of an expert, and there are specialist cat flap installers and talented carpenters who are happy to undertake such a task.

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap has to be installed in a double glazed panel, and your chosen "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the job right away and give them the boot. It's simply not possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazed unit will be ruined by cutting or drilling into it, and will take away its insulating attributes, security and strength. The double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should never be done in any circumstances whatsoever.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in most instances. It is necessary to know the internal construction, since some uPVC doors 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 type panel, it may be easier to replace this with a single pane.

Wall Installation - If, for either safety or aesthetic reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into a door, you could decide to install your cat flap on an exterior wall of your home. This type of installation is certainly best left to an expert, as it requires considerably more skill and equipment to execute. There are several options for this installation, including a straightforward design, or a right angled (through pillar) adaption.

Before fitting a new flap in double glazing that has been pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed correctly is essential.
