Cat Flap Fitter North Mymms

Cat Flap Fitter North Mymms Hertfordshire (AL9): Fitting a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your North Mymms property helps to give your cat the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats that are kept inside, as with humans, can often show signs of irritation. Having easy access to world outside by way of a cat flap will help your pet to keep fit, both physically and mentally. Of course, that isn't the whole story, since there are various types of cat flaps, and figuring out which design is best for your pet might not be so easy.

The most basic type of cat flap, is just that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable sheet of material fixed over it, to keep the elements out, but let the cat go through. Although this may be acceptable in a fence panel or shed door, the majority of cat owners in North Mymms would doubtless favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their property.

As this solution permits other animals or cats to enter your house, it's not at all ideal, though it can be improved on to some degree by holding the flap in place by adding magnetic strips.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are a significant step up from the magnetic strip variation. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar fitted with a magnet, RF or IR chip. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it won't be able to open the flap and leave or access your home, thus avoiding some unwanted visitors. The reality that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who's got a similar collar could possible access your home, is the drawback with this type of cat flap. An enhancement to this equipment is an RF cat flap/collar system which includes a unique identifier which can be programmed by the householder.

Choosing a cat flap which can be triggered by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in entrance security for felines in North Mymms. You need to enter the details of your cat's micro-chip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you have more than one cat it will accept multiple entries. When your cat passes close to the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to exit or enter.

Regardless which cat flap you purchase, it should have the ability to be locked in place. Nowadays, most cat flaps available on the market feature a 4-way locking system for extra security. This means that the cat flap can enable entrance into your premises only, allow exit only, be fully locked, or be set for two-way entry and exit. This offers full control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night time. A few high end cat flaps can be set to carry out specific functions according to the time of day, in line with yours and your cat's requirements.

Putting in a cat flap yourself can be pretty straightforward if you've got a solid wood door on your North Mymms house, and respectable do-it-yourself capabilities. Not in any circumstances should you attempt to install a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door. This type of installation calls for the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and skilled odd job men who will be delighted to take on such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN NORTH MYMMS

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap is going to be installed in a double glazed panel, and your chosen "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the job straight away and give them their walking orders. New cat flaps can't be installed into existing double glazed doors or window panels. Drilling holes in any sort of double glazing will ruin its strength and security, together with its thermal insulation properties. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it shouldn't be attempted under any circumstances.

An experienced cat flap installer will measure the existing double glazed unit and have a local glazing company make a new purpose made one. So that your cat flap can be snugly installed into it, this new double glazing unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its structure. You might have a 1 or 2 week waiting period for this pane to be made, but if you need a cat flap fitted into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, this is really the only way to accomplish it. Once your new panel of glass shows up, the installer will remove the old unit, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. It's now possible to install your new cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - The easiest alternative for installing a new cat flap in North Mymms, as was previously mentioned, are wooden door panels. If you're unsure about creating a hole in your front or back door, it's a good move to contact a professional to do the work for you. A project of this type should not be expensive and will provide you with peace of mind that your cat will have the use of an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be used for installing a cat flap. You or your installer will have to ascertain what the interior construction of you door actually is, since for extra security some uPVC door panels are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it might be better to swap this for a single pane.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could always opt to install your cat flap into an exterior wall of your house. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires considerably more skill and equipment to fit, so it is certainly best left to a specialist. You could go with a straightforward tunnel style, or perhaps a right angled version that enables entry through a pillar. A neat square shaped hole will be made through your selected wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, open ended square tube. A suitable cat flap is then attached to each end of the hole.

A trusted cat flap installer in North Mymms will be capable of removing the unwanted cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without damaging the surrounding door, window or wall.

If the replacement cat flap is to be fitted into a pre-cut hole in double glazing, you must ensure that the existing glass has been made and installed in the right way. If it's discovered that corners were cut with the previous installation, the pane will have to be taken out and substituted to avoid any safety and security problems with the new flap.
