Cat Flap Fitter Padiham

Cat Flap Fitter Padiham Lancashire (BB12): An ideal way to improve your cat's independence and improve it's overally quality of life is to install a cat flap on an outside door or wall of your property in Padiham. Cats tend to get grumpy and irritated when kept indoors, and not allowed to roam free. When your cat is allowed easy access to the outside world via a cat flap, there is a far better likelihood of it staying both physically and mentally fit. Naturally, that isn't the end of the story, since there are numerous types of cat flaps, and figuring out what design is best for you and your pet isn't always simple.

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A hole in a door with a bendable bit of material fixed over it, to give protection from the weather, but let the cat pass through. Although this could be appropriate in a garden fence panel or outhouse door, the vast majority of cat owners in Padiham would prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their home.

Since this solution allows other animals or cats to enter your house, it is not at all recommended, though it can be enhanced a bit by keeping the flap in place with the addition of a magnetic strip.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this kind of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar boasting an RF chip, IR or magnet. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will be unable to trigger the flap and access or leave your house, therefore preventing some undesirable visitors. The downside here is that any other moggy in the area who's got a similar style of collar can still gain access to your house when using this kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these devices and can be programmed by the householder to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet.

The kind of cat flap which is able to identify your cat's own microchip, is the next level in feline entrance security. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got more than one cat), to give exclusive access. When your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and permit only your micro-chipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

Whenever you're buying a cat flap, you must make certain it is of a design that can be locked into position. Nowadays, most cat flaps available on the market boast a 4-way locking system for added flexibility. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, enable admittance into your premises only, enable exit from your premises only, or have two-way entry and exit functionality. This gives you options for all times of day and night, to control precisely how your cat flap works. The ability to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, and in line with yours and your pet's requirements is also a possibility with some of the more advanced models of cat flap.

Installing a cat flap yourself can be fairly straightforward if you've got a solid timber door, and reasonable DIY abilities. On no account should you try and fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. This kind of installation requires the attention of a pro, and there are specialist cat flap installers and talented carpenters who are ready to accept such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN PADIHAM

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap has to be mounted on a double glazing panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the job right away and give them the boot. New cat flaps can't be fitted into existing double glazing window or door panels. Drilling or cutting into any sort of double glazing will damage its strength and security, together with its insulating properties. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it shouldn't be attempted in any circumstances.

A trustworthy Padiham cat flap installer will diligently take the measurements of your existing panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing supplier. So that your cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new glazed pane will arrive with a pre-cut hole as a part of its construction. You might have to wait two weeks or so for this special pane to be manufactured, but if it's necessary to have a cat flap installed in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to accomplish it. Once you've taken possession of your new modified glass pane, the old unit can be removed and the new panel fitted. It's now possible to install and set up your new cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber door panels are, as previously mentioned, the simplest options for cat flap installation in Padiham. If you are somewhat uncomfortable with creating a sizeable hole in your front or back door, you might be better off getting in touch with an experienced handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you'll wind up with a professionally fitted cat friendly flap, and that the job has been done properly.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite feasible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. However, some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for further security, which may cause some problems. A one piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you have a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be more economical to replace the panel with a single panel model.

Wall Installation - It is also possible to get a cat flap mounted into an external wall of your home in Padiham, if you don't want to have a hole cut in one of your doors, either for security or aesthetic reasons. Calling for far more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installation is definitely best left to a specialist, if it's to be executed correctly. The majority of wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnel style, however right angle access via a pillar can also be achieved. With this type of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted into a square shaped hole cut out of your specified wall. A suitable cat flap can then be mounted on each end of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Padiham - If your wall, window or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it isn't working properly, or is damaged, it's entirely possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. Your cat flap fitter should be able to remove the old cat flap, without damaging the wall, window or door, and install a new flap in its place for your cat.

When the installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it will be necessary to check that this was previously done accurately, before fitting the new flap. If it's discovered that the previous installation was a bodge job, the panel will need to be removed and substituted to avoid any safety and security problems with the new cat flap.
