Cat Flap Fitter Paisley

Cat Flap Fitter Paisley Scotland (PA1): Fitting a cat flap to an external wall or door in your house in Paisley, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own little bit of freedom and independence. Cats kept inside, much like humans, will show signs of irritability. Giving your cat easy access to world outside by way of a cat flap can also help keep them mentally and physically fit. However, what kind of cat flap is better for your circumstances?

The most straightforward kind of cat flap, is merely that. A bit of flexible material hung over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. The vast majority of Paisley cat owners would prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their house, although this might be suitable for a shed or outhouse door.

This basic design is still a long way off being ideal since it allows other cats or creatures to enter into your property, but it can be marginally improved on with the addition of a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap. This involves your cat wearing a collar that has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased in it. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will be unable to trigger the flap and leave or get into your property, hence avoiding some undesirable visitors. The drawback is that any other cat in the neighbourhood who's got a similar collar can easily access your home with this sort of cat flap fitted. Even these cat flaps can be improved to some extent with an RF cat flap and collar system having an owner programmed unique identifier. Only your purrfect companion gets access, thus adding an added layer of security and control.

The next stage in feline access security is to use a model of cat flap which recognises your cat's microchip. You have to enter the unique number of your cat's microchip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you've got more than one pet it will accept multiple entries. Exit and entry can only be accomplished by microchipped animals, and the flap is unlocked when you cat is in close proximity.

No matter what cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in place. For added security, most cat flaps have a four way locking system nowadays. This makes it possible for your cat flap to enable only entry into your house, permit exit only, be locked fully, or have two way exit and entrance capability. This will provide you with a variety of alternatives on how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night time. The facility to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on yours and your cat's needs is also an option with some of the top-end brands of cat flap.

If you have a timber door in your property in Paisley, fitting you own cat flap shouldn't be all that complicated. But, if you're looking to fit it into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should ask for outside assistance. These situations call for the expertise and skills of a reputable cat flap fitter or odd job man, who'll have all the tools and knowledge for this type of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN PAISLEY

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire someone who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your cat flap, stop them right away and ask them to leave. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Making a hole in the double glazing damages not simply the security and strength of the glazing, but it compromises the thermal insulation attributes too. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsafe.

A trustworthy Paisley cat flap installer will diligently take the precise measurements of your existing unit and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing firm. This new glazed panel will have a pre-cut hole as a part of its construction where the cat flap can be installed. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, even though it may take a week or two to manufacture. Once your new panel of glass is delivered, the installer will take out the old one, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. The cat flap will then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As mentioned earlier in this article, solid wooden doors are the easiest option when it comes to cat flap installation on your house in Paisley. It is normally best to call on an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you are at all hesitant about cutting a hole in your back or front door. This type of task won't be all that expensive and is well worth doing properly, if having your cat flap professionally installed provides you with that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be sometimes be suitable for a cat flap. You or your installer will need to verify what the interior structure of you door actually is, since for added security some uPVC door panels are made with a reinforced steel lining. The simplest kind of cat flap installation is in doors having one single panel, therefore if you have a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slatted panel for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - It is also a possibility to have a cat flap fitted into an outside wall of your house in Paisley, if you don't want to cut chunks out of your doors, whether for safety or aesthetic reasons. A wall cat flap entrance calls for considerably more expertise and equipment to install, therefore it's certainly better left to a specialist. There are a number of choices for this installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angled (through pillar) model. This installation calls for a neat square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted. A cat flap can then be mounted on each side of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Paisley - If you already have a cat flap installed on a window, door or wall, but it is broken or not working correctly, the existing hole can, with luck, be re-used for the installation of a replacement. A professional Paisley cat flap installer will be glad to remove your old entry device and swap it for a brand new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the door, wall or window on which it is attached.

If the replacement cat flap is to be installed into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must make sure that the glass has been cut and installed correctly. The glass panel will have to be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety issues, if it is found that this isn't the case and corners were cut during the previous installation.
