Cat Flap Fitter Oswestry

Cat Flap Fitter Oswestry Shropshire (SY10): Fitting a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Oswestry home provides your cat with the independence and freedom it needs to live a happy life. Cats which are kept indoors, just like humans, will often show signs of frustration. Giving your pet easy access to world outside via a cat flap can also help keep them physically and mentally fit. So, you think it's a good idea, but exactly what is perfect sort of cat flap for your pet?

The most fundamental sort of cat flap, is just that. A hole in a door with a flexible bit of material fixed over it, to keep the elements out, but allow the cat go through. Of course, this is very basic, and will not be sufficient for most Oswestry cat owners, who would favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their property, although it may be appropriate for an outhouse or shed door.

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

The next step up from the magnetic strip version are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar featuring a magnet, RF or IR chip. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will be unable to trigger the flap and leave or get into your house, thus preventing some unwelcome visitors. The downside is that any other cat in the neighbourhood who has a similar collar could perchance access your house with this sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these devices and can be programmed by the owner of the cat to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat.

Picking a cat flap which can identify your pet's microchip, is the next level in entry devices for felines. You need to enter the number of your cat's microchip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you've got more than one cat it will accept multiple entries. The flap will be unlocked whenever your cat is nearby, only allowing exit or entry to pets that have a microchip.

Whatever cat flap you buy, it must have the ability to be locked in position. For added flexibility, almost all cat flaps boast a four way locking mechanism nowadays. Which means that the cat flap can permit only admittance into your home, allow exit from your property only, be fully locked, or be set for 2-way entry and exit. This offers you a number of solutions on how your cat flap functions at all times of the day and night time. Some of the more advanced cat flaps can be set to carry out different functions according to the time of day, based on yours and your cat's requirements.

If you've got a timber door on your property in Oswestry, installing you own cat flap shouldn't be all that complicated. However, if it is going to be installed into a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you shouldn't even attempt to tackle it on your own. This kind of installation calls for the attention of an expert, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and skilled odd job men who are delighted to take on such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN OSWESTRY

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ somebody who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your new cat flap, stop them at once and ask them to leave. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into an existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any sort of double glazing will be ruined by drilling or cutting into it, and will take away its strength, security and thermal properties. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsafe.

A reputable Oswestry cat flap fitter will carefully take the precise measurements of your existing unit and order a custom-made one from a local glazing firm. This new glazed pane will be delivered with a hole cut out as part of its construction where the cat flap can be fitted. This is the only way to install a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, although it might take a week or so to produce. When your new glass pane is delivered, the installer will take out the old unit, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" panel. The fitting of the cat flap can then be carried out.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The least complicated option for cat flap installations in Oswestry, as was previously mentioned, are wood doors. If you are dubious about cutting a hole in your door, it's it may be better to contact a specialist to undertake the project for you. This should provide you with the peace of mind that you'll end up with a professionally installed cat flap, and that the project has been done properly and without causing harm to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be installed into uPVC doors in many instances. Nevertheless, some uPVC doors are steel lined for further security, which could cause problems. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the easiest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted style door panel, it might be easier to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - It is also feasible to get a cat flap mounted into an external wall of your property in Oswestry, if you do not wish to cut chunks out of your doors, either for safety or aesthetic reasons. Requiring much more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is definitely better left to a specialist, if it is to be completed correctly. Most cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnelled style, however right angle access through a pillar is also possible. This installation entails a square shaped hole being cut through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on both ends to enable your feline friend to come in and out as it pleases.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Oswestry - If your door, window or wall already has a cat flap fitted, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. You local cat flap fitter will be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding door, wall or window, and fit a new flap for your cat.

If the new cat flap is going to be fitted in a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must check that the glass has been made and installed in the right way. The pane will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems, if it's found this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the earlier installation.
