Cat Flap Fitter Newmarket

Cat Flap Fitter Newmarket Suffolk (CB8): To allow your cat the independence it needs to live a life of contentment, you could fit a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your Newmarket house. Cats are inclined to get irritated and crabby when constantly kept inside, and not allowed to roam. Having a cat that's both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main positive aspects of giving your pet accessibility to world outside via a cat flap. So, you think it's a good idea, but which is perfect type of cat flap for your pet?

The simplest form of cat flap is essentially that. A hole is cut into an outside door and a bendable material is hung over it to offer a bit of protection from the elements. Obviously, this is extremely basic, and will rarely good enough for most cat owners in Newmarket, who would doubtless prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their home, although it might be acceptable for an outhouse door or fence panel.

This basic design is still a long way off being ideal because it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to get into your home, but it can be to some degree improved on by adding magnetic strips to hold the flap in place.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. With these, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. This means that any animal that doesn't have a special collar can't access or leave your home. Again this is a relatively basic type of cat flap, because any other moggy in the Newmarket area who has a similar model of collar can easily gain access to your property. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of this equipment because they can be programmed by the pet's owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

Fitting a cat flap which can identify your pet's own microchip, is the next level in entrance security for felines. The micro-chip details are programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one pet). Entry and exit can only be achieved by microchipped pets, and the flap will be unlocked whenever you cat is in the vicinity.

The ability to lock it in place is vital no matter which cat flap you're purchasing. These days, the majority of cat flaps available on the market have a 4-way locking system for added flexibility. This allows your cat flap to enable exit only, enable entrance into your premises only, be locked fully, or have 2-way exit and entrance capability. This will give you a number of alternatives on precisely how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night. A few high end cat flaps can be set to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, based on yours and your cat's needs.

If you've got a timber door in your house in Newmarket, fitting you own cat flap shouldn't be that hard. But, if you are hoping to fit it in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you ought to ask for outside help. These situations call for the expertise and skills of an experienced cat flap fitter or odd job man, who will have all the equipment and knowledge for this sort of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN NEWMARKET

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while trying to fit your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, immediately send them on their way. New cat flaps can not be fitted into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Any kind of double glazed unit will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will detract from its security, insulating properties and strength. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsafe.

A reliable Newmarket cat flap fitter will meticulously take the precise measurements of your current panel and order a tailor-made one from a local glazing supplier. So the cat flap can be perfectly fitted into it, this new double glazed panel will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its construction. This is the only way to install a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, although it can take a week or more to produce. Once you've obtained your new glass panel, the old one can be taken out and the new unit installed. The cat flap can then be put in.

External Wooden Doors - The simplest option for cat flap installations in Newmarket, as was mentioned earlier in this article, are wood door panels. If you are a little hesitant about cutting an opening in your back or front door, you may be happier hiring a professional handyman or cat flap fitter instead. A project of this type should not be expensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your kitty has a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can in general be installed into uPVC doors. Nevertheless, certain uPVC doors are lined with steel for further security, which may cause some issues. The simplest type of installation is in doors having one single panel, subsequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be easier and cheaper in the long run to replace the slatted panel with a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - It's also possible to have a cat flap mounted on an external wall of your house in Newmarket, if you do not wish to have a hole cut in one of your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons. Requiring much more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installment is definitely better left to a specialist, if it's to be accomplished successfully. Most wall cat flap installations involve a basic straight tunnelled style, however right angular access through a pillar is also a possibility. A neat square shaped hole will need to be cut through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on either end to enable your cat to exit and enter as it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Newmarket - If you already have a cat flap installed on your window, door or wall, but it's damaged or not working properly, the current hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for the installation of a new one. Your cat flap installer should be able to take off the old cat flap, without harming the wall, door or window, and install a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

When the installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it is essential to make certain that this was previously done correctly, before fitting the new cat flap. If it becomes obvious this is not the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass panel will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.
