Cat Flap Fitter Mossley

Cat Flap Fitter Mossley Greater Manchester (OL5): To give your cat the independence and freedom that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your Mossley house. Cats tend to get irritated and grouchy when constantly kept indoors, and not allowed to roam free. Allowing your cat accessibility to outside world by means of a cat flap can also help in keeping them physically and mentally fit. However, what sort of cat flap is the best solution in your case?

The most straightforward type of cat flap, is simply that. A sheet of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to pass through it, but keep the elements out. Naturally, this is extremely basic, and will not be sufficient for most Mossley cat owners, who would prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their home, although it may be suitable for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.

Because this option allows other creatures or cats to enter your house, it isn't at all ideal, though it can be improved on to some extent by holding the flap in place with the addition of a magnetic strip.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. This requires that your cat wears a collar which has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased in it. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will not be able to trigger the flap and leave or access your home, thus keeping out some unwelcome visitors. The downside is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that's got a similar model of collar could possible gain access to your home when using this kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of this equipment because they can be programmed by the householder to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet.

A model of cat flap that is can be operated by your cat's own microchip, is the next stage in feline access security. The number of your cat's microchip is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you have several cats). Whenever your cat passes close to the flap, it will unlock and permit only your microchipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

Regardless of what cat flap you buy, it should have the ability to be locked in position. The majority of cat flaps sold today feature a four way locking system. This means that the cat flap can allow only admittance into your premises, allow exit only, be fully locked, or be set for two-way entry and exit. This provides full control over the functioning of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night. The wherewithal to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, and based on your pet's and your needs is also a possibility with some of the higher end brands of cat flap.

If you have a wooden door in your property in Mossley, fitting a cat flap yourself should not be too difficult. Under no circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel. This sort of installation will require the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and skilled carpenters who will be glad to take on such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN MOSSLEY

Double Glazing Installation - If your cat flap needs to be fitted into a double glazed door or window panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the work right away and give them the boot. A new cat flap cannot be installed into an existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Cutting or drilling into any kind of double glazing will destroy its strength and security, together with its thermal insulation attributes. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsound.

A professional cat flap installer will measure your current double glazed pane and have a glazing company make a new pane. As part of its structure this new glazed unit will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed perfectly into. You might have a one or two week waiting period for this to be produced, however if you need a cat flap installed into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is really the only way to do it. Once you have obtained your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new pane installed. The fitting of the cat flap will then be concluded.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier, solid timber door panels are the least complicated option when it comes to installing a new cat flap on your property in Mossley. If you are nervous about making a hole in your front or back door, it's advisable to call in a professional to complete the task for you. An undertaking like this will not be expensive and will give you peace of mind that your cat can enjoy an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be installed into uPVC doors in most cases. It pays to know the internal construction, because some uPVC doors are steel lined for further security. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the easiest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted style panel, it might be better to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - It is also a possibility to get a cat flap mounted on an outside wall of your property in Mossley, if you do not wish to cut chunks out of your doors, for security or aesthetic reasons. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a bit more skill and equipment to install, therefore it is certainly best left to a specialist. You'll find there are a number of options for this sort of installation, including a straightforward version, or a right angular (through pillar) configuration. A neat square shaped hole will be cut through your wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, open ended square tube. Each end of the hole is then installed with an appropriate cat flap so that your cat can get in and out of your home whenever it desires.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Mossley - If your wall, window or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to mount a replacement over the current cavity. An experienced Mossley cat flap installer will gladly take out your old entry device and replace it with a new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the window, door or wall on which it is secured.

Before fitting a new flap in double glazing which has been previously pre-cut, making certain that the current glass has been manufactured 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 pane must be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues.

Cat Flap Positioning Advice

When it comes to fitting a cat flap, your cat's convenience and your home's security depend on the position of the flap. Your cat flap's optimal position, based on aspects such as the size and breed of your cat, you home's layout and potential security risks, can be advised by a professional cat flap fitter.

They can help you choose the optimal position for the flap, making certain that it is easily accessible for your cat but not easily accessible to intruders. Their advice may involve discouraging the installation of the flap near a fence or hedge, which could be exploited by intruders to enter your garden, or suggesting a higher position to prevent small animals from gaining entry into your property.

They can also provide recommendations on the kind of cat flap that would best fit your requirements, such as an electronic or microchip-enabled cat flap, as part of their services. They can also take your cat's unique needs and preferences into account, such as their degree of adventurousness or shyness, and recommend a position that would cater to their behaviour. Positioning your cat flap in the most advantageous position for your home's protection and your cat's contentment can be achieved through the right advice.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

Maintaining the comfort and safety of indoor and outdoor cats, cat flap weatherproofing is important. The feline benefits from a warm and dry environment due to a well-weatherproofed cat flap, which prevents rain, wind and draughts from seeping into the house. For a tight barrier against the weather, choose cat flaps with superior quality insulating materials and seals. For shielding the entryway from harsh weather conditions, an additional idea is to install a weatherproof tunnel extension. The cat flap's effectiveness in providing a comfy and weather-protected space for your cat is preserved through regular maintenance, which involves checking seals for deterioration. (13579)
