Cat Flap Fitter Montrose

Cat Flap Fitter Montrose Scotland (DD10): An effective way to give your cat more independence and enrich it's quality of life is to install a cat flap on an exterior wall or door of your house in Montrose. Cats kept inside, as with people, will often show signs of frustration. Having a cat that is both physically and mentally fit, is just one of the benefits of giving your cat access to the world outside by means of a cat flap. If this seems like a good option for you, precisely what kind of cat flap should you fit?

The simplest type of cat flap is essentially that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable bit of material placed over it, to keep the elements out, but permit the cat go through. The vast majority of cat owners in Montrose would no doubt favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property, although this might be okay for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.

This simple design is still far from ideal since it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to enter your property, however it can be improved on with the addition of magnetic strips to hold the flap in position.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar boasting a magnet, IR or RF chip. No animal will be able to get into or leave your home unless it is fitted with this special collar. The fact that any other cat in the Montrose area who's got a similar model of collar will be able to gain access to your home, is the downside with this type of cat flap. An upgrade to this product is a RF cat flap/collar system which provides a unique identifier that can be programmed by the user. This ensures that only your feline friend gains access, providing an added layer of security and control.

The type of cat flap which is capable of identifying your pet's own microchip, is the next step-up in Montrose feline entry security. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have several cats), to give exclusive access. Exit and entry can only be achieved by micro-chipped animals, and the flap is unlocked when you cat is nearby.

When you're buying a cat flap, you should make sure that it's of a design that can be locked. Nowadays, nearly all cat flaps available on the market boast a four way locking system for extra flexibility. Which means it's got the capability to enable entry into your house only, be fully locked, enable exit only, or be put in two way exit and entry mode. This will give you a range of choices on how your cat flap works any time of the day and night time. The ability to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, and in line with yours and your cat's requirements is also a possibility with some of the more advanced models of cat flap.

If you're pretty good at DIY, fitting a cat flap should not be that difficult, as long as you have a solid wood door on your house in Montrose. Under no circumstances should you attempt to install a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door. These sorts of fixtures require a professional installation from a reputable cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN MONTROSE

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap needs to be mounted on a double glazing window or door panel, and your chosen "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the work right away and give them their walking orders. It isn't possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazing window pane or door panel. Cutting into any kind of double glazing will damage its strength and security, together with its insulating attributes. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it shouldn't be attempted in any circumstances.

A reliable Montrose cat flap installer will meticulously take the precise measurements of your existing unit and order a purpose made one from a local glazing firm. To ensure that your cat flap can be nicely installed into it, this new glazed pane will be provided with a hole pre-cut as a part of its structure. This is really the only way to install a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door, even though it might take one or two weeks to produce. Once you have acquired your new glass pane, the old unit can be taken out and the new one installed. The installation of the cat flap can then be carried out.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As previously mentioned, wood door panels are the simplest alternative when it comes to cat flap installation on your home in Montrose.

This kind of project will not be expensive and will give you peace of mind that your kitty will be climbing through a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally speaking be fitted into uPVC doors. You'll have to verify what the internal construction of you door actually is, since for extra security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. A one-piece panel enables simpler installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it may be more economical to replace the panel with a single panel style.

Wall Installation - It is also a possibility to get a cat flap installed on an exterior wall of your house in Montrose, if you do not want to cut holes in your doors, whether for safety or aesthetic reasons. Needing a lot more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap install is definitely best left to a professional, if it is to be executed correctly.

Before attaching a new flap in a double glazing pane that's been previously pre-cut, confirming that the existing glass has been made and installed accurately is essential. If it's found this is not the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the glass unit will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Montrose

Cat flap weatherproofing is very important in safeguarding the safety and comfort of outdoor and indoor cats. A warm and dry environment for both the feline and the occupants is ensured by a properly weatherproofed cat flap, preventing wind, rain and cold draughts from seeping into the house. Designed with high-quality insulating materials and seals, cat flaps create a tight barrier against the elements. For shielding the entryway from harsh climatic conditions, an additional idea is to install a weatherproof tunnel extension. The cat flap's ability to provide a cozy and weather-protected space for the cat is upheld through routine maintenance, including checking seals for damage. (13579)
