Cat Flap Fitter Peterhead

Cat Flap Fitter Peterhead Scotland (AB42): Fitting a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your house in Peterhead, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own little bit of independence and freedom. When continuously kept inside, cats much like humans, will get irritated and grouchy. Having a cat that's both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main benefits of giving your furry friend easy access to outside world by means of a cat flap. So, you think it's a great idea, but what is best sort of cat flap for your pet?

The simplest type of cat flap is basically that. A hole is cut into a door and a flexible material is placed over it to offer protection from the elements. Although this might be acceptable in a shed or outhouse door, the majority of Peterhead cat owners would doubtless prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their home.

This standard model can be improved on to some degree with magnetic strips to keep the flap in position, however it is still a long way from being perfect as it allows other animals or cats to get into your property.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. In this case, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will not be able to open the flap and leave or get into your home, hence avoiding some unwanted visitors. The fact that any other moggy in the area who has a similar style of collar can easily access your house, is the drawback with this kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of this equipment as they can be programmed by the cat owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet.

The type of cat flap that's can be recognised by your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in feline entrance security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. Whenever your cat passes close to the flap, it unlocks and allows solely your micro-chipped pets to enter or exit.

Being able to lock it in place is vital no matter which cat flap you are purchasing. Nowadays, nearly all cat flaps on the market have a 4-way locking mechanism for added flexibility. Which means that it's got the capability to enable only admittance into your property, allow only exit from your home, be fully locked, or be put in two way exit and entry mode. This provides you with a range of options on exactly how your cat flap works any time of the day and night. In line with your cat's and your requirements, there is even the possibility to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with some of the higher end devices.

If you're fairly decent at DIY, installing your own cat flap should not be that difficult, if you have a solid timber door on your house in Peterhead. Although, if it is going to be installed into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should not even attempt it by yourself. This kind of installation will require the attention of a pro, and there are specialist cat flap installers and skilled handymen who'll be happy to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN PETERHEAD

Double Glazing Installation - If your cat flap has to be installed in a double glazing door or window panel, and your appointed "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and give them the boot. A new cat flap can not be mounted into an existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazing will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will damage its security, strength and thermal insulation attributes. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsound.

A specialist cat flap fitter will measure your current double glazed unit and have a local Peterhead glazing company make a new purpose made pane. As a part of its structure this new double glazing unit will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This is basically the only way to install a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door, although it can take two weeks or so to manufacture. Once you've received your new panel of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new pane fitted. It's now possible to fit your new cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, timber door panels are the easiest option when it comes to installing a new cat flap on your home in Peterhead. If you're a bit hesitant about creating a sizeable hole in your door, you might be happier contacting a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that you will wind up with an expertly fitted cat flap, and that the job has been undertaken correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly feasible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. Nevertheless, some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for additional security, which might cause problems. A one-piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be cheaper to exchange this panel for a single panel type.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or safety reasons, you don't want to have a chunk cut out of your door, you could always choose to install your cat flap on an outside wall of your house in Peterhead. This kind of installment is definitely best left to the pros, since it requires considerably more skill and equipment to execute. There are several options for this type of installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angular (through pillar) style. Installation entails a square shaped hole being made through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted. A cat flap is then installed on both ends of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Peterhead - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not working properly, the current hole in your window, wall or door can be fitted with a replacement providing that the new cat flap is of an equivalent size. You local cat flap fitter will take off the old cat flap, without damaging the surrounding door, window or wall, and install a new flap in its place for your cat.

If the new cat flap is going to be installed into a pre cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must ensure that the existing glass has been made, cut and installed in the right way. If it becomes obvious this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the pane will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.
