Cat Flap Fitter Newquay Cornwall (TR7): The installation of a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your home in Newquay, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own little bit of independence. When constantly kept indoors, cats as with people, will get irritated and crabby. When allowed quick access to the world outside with a cat flap, your cat has a far better chance of staying healthy and fit. So, you're sold on the idea, but what is perfect form of cat flap for your pet?
The most fundamental sort of cat flap, is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable bit of material fixed over it, to give protection from the elements, but let the cat pass through. The majority of cat owners in Newquay would no doubt prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home, although this could be acceptable for a garden fence panel or shed door.
This standard model is still a long way off being ideal as it allows other cats or animals to enter your property, nevertheless it can be somewhat improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place.
The next step up from the magnetic strip model are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. In this case, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be enclosed in your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will not be able to trigger the flap and leave or get into your property, therefore keeping out some unwelcome visitors. Once again this is a fairly simple form of cat flap, as any other moggy in the area that's got a similar model of collar could possible gain access to your home. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these products as they can be programmed by the pet's owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat.
Installing a cat flap which can be operated by your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in access security for felines. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you have several cats), to provide exclusive access. When your cat comes into close vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to exit/enter.
Whatever cat flap you buy, it should have the ability to be locked in place. For added flexibility, most cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism these days. This makes it possible for your cat flap to be fully locked, enable exit from your house only, permit admittance into your property only, or have two-way entry and exit capability. This offers you a number of options on exactly how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night. In line with yours and your pet's needs, there is even the possibility to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, with a few of the more expensive models.
If you're pretty decent at DIY, fitting your own cat flap shouldn't be all that difficult, if you've got a solid wood door on your house in Newquay. Although, if it is going to be installed in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should not even attempt to tackle it by yourself. These sorts of fixtures require a professional installation from a reliable cat flap installer or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.
INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN NEWQUAY
Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire somebody who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your new cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. A new cat flap can not be mounted into an existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Making a hole in the double glazing damages not just the strength and security of the panel, but it compromises the insulation attributes as well. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it should never be done in any circumstances whatsoever.
A dependable Newquay cat flap installer will carefully get the dimensions of your existing pane and order a tailor-made one from a local glazing firm. So that the cat flap can be snugly installed into it, this new double glazed unit will arrive with a pre-cut hole as a part of its construction. This is really the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, even though it can take one or two weeks to produce. After construction, the old glass unit can be removed, and the new adapted one put in. It will now be possible to fit the new cat flap.
External Wooden Doors - Wooden doors are, as I previously mentioned, the simplest alternatives for installing a new cat flap in Newquay. If you are a bit hesitant about creating an opening in your front or back door, you may be better off bringing in an expert cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This type of task won't be too expensive and is worth doing correctly, if getting your cat flap professionally installed provides you with that added reassurance.
uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally be fitted into uPVC doors. Having said that, certain uPVC doors are lined with steel for added security, which could cause problems. A one piece panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it may be more cost effective to replace the panel with a single pane model.
Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to have a hole cut into your doors, either for aesthetic or safety reasons, you could get a cat flap installed on an outside wall. Requiring far more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is undoubtedly best left to a specialist, if it is to be executed correctly. You could go with a straightforward tunnel style, or maybe a right angle version which allows access via a pillar. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted into a square hole cut into your selected wall. An appropriate cat flap is then attached to each end of the hole.
Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Newquay - If your door, window or wall already has a cat flap installed, but it's not working properly, or is damaged, it is perfectly possible to mount a replacement over the current hole. Your cat flap installer will take off the unwanted cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding wall, door or window, and fit a new flap in its place for your cat.
Before fitting a new flap in a double glazed pane that's been pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been made and installed correctly is essential. If it becomes obvious that this isn't the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass unit must be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems.
