Cat Flap Fitter Pinxton

Cat Flap Fitter Pinxton Derbyshire (NG16): Putting in a cat flap doesn't just save you the headache of having to open the door every time the cat chooses to go out or in, it also gives your cat extra independence and boosts it's quality of life. Cats are like people in a lot of ways, and will likely show signs of frustration and irritability if kept indoors for significant periods of time. When allowed easy access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your pet has a much better chance of staying fit and healthy. If this seems like a good idea to you, precisely what type of cat flap should you install?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is just that. A sheet of bendable material fixed over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to pass through, but keep out the elements. Most Pinxton cat owners would prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their property, although this may be acceptable for a shed or outhouse door.

Since this option allows other cats or animals to enter your home, it is not at all recommended, though it can be enhanced a little by holding the flap in position 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. In this case, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is equipped with one of these special collars, it will not be able to open the flap and access or leave your property, thus preventing some undesirable visitors. The point that any other moggy in the Pinxton area that's got a similar model of collar can gain access to your home, is the downside with this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some extent with an RF cat flap and collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier.

The next level in feline entry security is to consider a cat flap that recognises your cat's own microchip. You have to enter the number of your cat's microchip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you've got several cats it will allow multiple entries. The flap will be unfastened whenever your cat is in the vicinity, only permitting entry or exit to pets that are microchipped.

The ability to lock it in position is vital regardless which cat flap you're buying. For added security, most cat flaps feature a 4-way locking mechanism these days. This allows your cat flap to be locked fully, enable only exit from your home, enable admission into your property only, or have 2-way entry and exit capability. This will provide you with solutions for all times of night and day, to control exactly how your cat flap works. In line with yours and your cat's needs, there's even the option to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with some of the more advanced devices.

If you have a timber door in your home in Pinxton, installing a cat flap yourself should not be too difficult. However, if it is going to be fitted into a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt to tackle it by yourself. These kinds of fixtures require a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or carpenter with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN PINXTON

Double Glazing Installations - If you hire somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your new cat flap, stop them at once and ask them to leave. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazed door panel or window pane. Making holes in the double glazing destroys not simply the security and strength of the glazing, but it takes away the thermal insulation properties too. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsound.

A reputable Pinxton cat flap installer will meticulously get the dimensions of your existing unit and order a purpose made one from a local glazing company. This new glazed pane will arrive with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure where your cat flap can be installed. You might have a 1 or 2 week waiting period for this pane to be produced, however if you want a cat flap installed in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to accomplish it. As soon as your new panel of glass arrives, the fitter will take out the old one, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" pane. The installation of the cat flap can then be completed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Wooden door panels are, as we stated previously, the simplest alternatives for cat flap installation in Pinxton. If you are hesitant about creating a hole in your front or back door, it's wise to contact a professional to do the work for you. A project of this sort should not be expensive and will give you peace of mind that your cat can enjoy a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be used for installing a cat flap. You'll need to determine what the internal construction of you door is, since for extra security some uPVC door panels are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. A one piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you have a uPVC door that is slatted, it might be cheaper to replace the panel with a single panel style.

Wall Installation - If you do not really want to have a hole cut in your doors, either for safety or aesthetic reasons, you can get a cat flap installed in an outside wall. This form of installation is undoubtedly better left to an expert, as it calls for far more equipment and skill to execute. The majority of wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnel style, but right angular access through a pillar is also possible. A neat square hole will be cut through your selected wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, open ended square tube. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with a cat flap so that your furry pal can get in and out of your home whenever it desires.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Pinxton - If your window, wall or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it isn't working properly, or is damaged, it is possible to mount a replacement over the existing cavity. A specialist Pinxton cat flap installer will be glad to remove your old unit and replace it with a fresh cat flap without inflicting any damage on the window, wall or door on which it is attached.

Before installing a new flap in a double glazing panel that has been previously pre-cut, confirming that the current glass has been made, cut and installed accurately is vital. If it's found that this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the panel must be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues.

Cat Flap Positioning Advice

If you want to install a cat flap, it's important to consider the position of the flap to ensure your cat's convenience and your home's security.

By helping you select the ideal position for the flap, they make sure that it is easily accessible for your cat, but inaccessible for intruders. You may be advised by them to avoid placing the flap near a hedge or fence, which could be used as a point of entry to your garden, or to position it higher to prevent small animals from entering your home.

Professional advice on cat flap positioning can help you to avoid common errors and make certain that your cat flap is located in the most appropriate and beneficial spot.
