Cat Flap Fitter Perth

Cat Flap Fitter Perth Scotland (PH1): To provide your cat with the independence it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Perth property. Cats kept indoors, much like people, will often show signs of irritation. Giving your cat access to the world outside by way of a cat flap can also help to keep them mentally and physically fit. But, what kind of cat flap is better for your circumstances?

The most straightforward form of cat flap, is simply that. A hole is cut into an external door and a flexible material is hung over it to give some protection from the weather. The vast majority of cat owners in Perth would doubtless prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property, although this might be suitable for a fence panel or shed door.

This basic design is still far from perfect because it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to get into your property, however it can be to some degree improved on with the addition of a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position.

A step up from the magnetic strip design are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This requires that your cat wears a collar that's got either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased inside it. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and leave or access your house, therefore preventing some undesirable visitors. Again this is a relatively basic type of cat flap, since any other moggy in the area that's got a similar style of collar may be able to get into your house. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these devices as they can be programmed by the user to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat.

A cat flap that is can be triggered by your cat's own microchip, is the next level in feline access security. The details of your cat's micro-chip are programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one pet). Entry and exit can only be achieved by micro-chipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is nearby.

The ability to lock it in place is important whichever cat flap you are purchasing. Nowadays, the majority of cat flaps on the market have a four way locking mechanism for added security. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit only entrance into your premises, permit exit from your premises only, be fully locked, or have two-way entry and exit functionality. This offers total control over the functioning of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night time. The ability to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your pet's needs is also an option with some of the more advanced brands of cat flap.

Installing a cat flap by yourself can be really easy if you've got a solid timber door on your Perth house, and respectable DIY skills. Although, if it is going to be installed into a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you should not even attempt it yourself. This sort of installation calls for the attention of a pro, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and talented handymen who are delighted to accept such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN PERTH

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap is going to be installed in a double glazing panel, and your hired "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the work immediately and show them the gate. It's simply not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazed door panel or window pane. Any sort of double glazing will be ruined by cutting into it, and will detract from its strength, security and thermal insulation attributes. It should under no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsafe.

It is necessary to get a new double glazing unit made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Perth cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current panel and put in an order for a brand new one. So your cat flap can be neatly fitted into it, this new glazed panel will be provided with a hole pre-cut as a part of its construction. You may have a 1 or 2 week wait for this pane to be made, however 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 do it. Once your new glass pane is delivered, the installer will remove the old unit, and replace it with the brand new "cat flap ready" panel. The installing of the cat flap will then be completed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, solid timber doors are the easiest option when it comes to cat flap installation on your home in Perth. If you're a bit uncomfortable with cutting a sizeable hole in your front door, you may be better off hiring a specialist handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This type of project will not be too costly and is worthwhile doing correctly, if getting your cat flap professionally installed gives you that added peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite possible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. Having said that, some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for additional security, which may cause some problems. The simplest type of installation is in doors having a single panel, consequently if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be cheaper and easier overall to exchange the slatted panel for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to cut holes in your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons, you can always have a cat flap installed on an outside wall. This kind of installment is undoubtedly best left to a specialist, since it requires considerably more equipment and skill to execute. Nearly all wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angular access through a pillar is also a possibility. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted into a square shaped hole cut out of your specified wall. A suitable cat flap can then be fitted to both sides of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Perth - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working properly, the existing hole in your door, window or wall can be fitted with a replacement so long as the new flap is of a comparable size. Your cat flap installer should be able to remove the old cat flap, without damaging the surrounding wall, window or door, and fit a new flap in its place for your cat.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it will be necessary to check that this was previously done correctly, before fitting the new cat flap. If it is found this is not the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the glass must be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety problems.
