Cat Flap Fitter Nairn

Cat Flap Fitter Nairn Scotland (IV12): Fitting a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Nairn home helps to give your cat the independence it needs to live a happy life. Rather like humans, when kept inside for long periods of time, cats will frequently show signs of frustration and anxiety. When allowed instant access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a much better chance of staying healthy and fit. Naturally, that isn't the end of the story, because there are many sorts of cat flaps, and deciding which one is best for you and your pet might not be so easy.

The most basic form of cat flap, is just that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible bit of material hung over it, to give protection from the weather, but permit the cat climb through. Most cat owners in Nairn would doubtless prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their home, although this might be suitable for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.

This standard design is still a long way from being perfect because it allows other cats or animals a means by which to enter into your house, nevertheless it can be improved on to some degree with the addition of a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip version. This involves your cat wearing a collar that's got either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased inside it. No animal will be able to leave or get into your house unless it is fitted with this special collar. The reality that any other cat in the area who's got a similar collar might be able to get into your property, is the downside with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. An improvement to this equipment is a RF cat flap/collar system which contains a unique identifier that can be programmed by the home owner. Providing an added layer of control and security, this makes certain that only your feline friend gains access.

The kind of cat flap that's can be operated by your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in Nairn feline entrance security. 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 accept multiple entries. Exit and entry can only be accomplished by micro-chipped animals, and the flap is unlocked whenever you cat is in the vicinity.

Whichever cat flap you buy, it should be capable of being locked in position. For added flexibility, almost all cat flaps boast a 4-way locking system nowadays. This allows your cat flap to enable entry into your property only, permit exit from your property only, be locked fully, or have 2-way entry and exit capability. This gives total control over the functioning of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. A few top-end cat flaps can be programmed to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, in line with yours and your cat's needs.

If you have a timber door in your house in Nairn, putting in a cat flap yourself should not be that hard. But, if you are hoping to install it in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you must seek outside help. These kinds of fixtures require a professional installation by a reliable cat flap installer or handyman with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN NAIRN

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap is going to be mounted on a double glazing window or door panel, and your appointed "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop them straight away and give them the boot. New cat flaps can not be fitted into pre-existing double glazing window or door panels. Any kind of double glazing will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will damage its insulating attributes, strength and security. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsound.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazed pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your local Nairn cat flap installer will measure your existing unit and put in an order for a brand new one. To ensure that the cat flap can be perfectly installed into it, this new double glazing pane will arrive with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure. This could take one or two weeks to manufacture, however it's basically the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. When your new pane of glass is delivered, the fitter will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" panel. The cat flap can then be put in.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier, solid wooden door panels are the easiest alternative in relation to installing a new cat flap on your property in Nairn. If you are a bit unsure of cutting a hole in your front door, you might be better off getting in touch with a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This should provide you with the peace of mind that you are going to finish up with a professionally installed cat friendly flap, and that the job has been completed correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally speaking be fitted into uPVC doors. You or your fitter will have to find out what the internal construction of you door is, since for added security some uPVC doors are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. A one piece panel enables simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be less expensive to replace the panel with a single panel type.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to get a cat flap fitted in an outside wall of your home in Nairn, if you don't want to cut holes in your doors, whether for aesthetic or safety reasons. This kind of installation is undoubtedly better left to the pros, because it requires considerably more skill and equipment to execute. Nearly all cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnel style, but right angled access through a pillar is also possible. With this type of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole neatly cut out of your wall. A cat flap can then be mounted on both ends of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Nairn - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not operating correctly, the current hole in your window, door or wall can still be used providing that the new cat flap is of a comparable size. Your cat flap fitter will be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without damaging the wall, window or door, and fit a brand new flap for your cat.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be essential to make certain that this was previously done accurately, before fixing the new flap. The panel will have to be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety problems, if it becomes obvious this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
