Cat Flap Fitter Redbourn

Cat Flap Fitter Redbourn Hertfordshire (AL3): Fitting a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your Redbourn property helps to give your cat the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life. Cats kept indoors, just like humans, will show signs of frustration. Giving your pet access to the world outside by way of a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. Obviously, that's not the end of the story, because there are many styles of cat flaps, and determining what design is best for your pet isn't always easy.

The most rudimentry form of cat flap is essentially that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible sheet of material fixed over it, to give protection from the elements, but permit the cat pass through. Of course, this is extremely basic, and won't be good enough for most cat owners in Redbourn, who would prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their house, although it may be acceptable for a fence panel or outhouse door.

This standard model can be improved upon with magnetic strips to hold the flap in place, but it is still a long way from being perfect because it allows other cats or animals a way to get into your home.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap, are a significant step up from the magnetic strip version. This involves your cat wearing a collar that's got either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased within it. This means that any animal without one of these special collars can't access or leave your property. The point that any other moggy in the Redbourn area who has a similar collar will be able to get into your home, is the drawback with this type of cat flap. An improvement to this device is an RF cat flap and collar system which includes a unique identifier which can be programmed by the user.

A model of cat flap which is capable of identifying your pet's micro-chip, is the next level in feline entrance security. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have several cats), to provide exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be achieved by microchipped animals, and the flap is unfastened when you cat is nearby.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you must make sure that it's of a design that can be locked. For added flexibility, nearly all cat flaps have a 4-way locking system these days. Which means that it's got the capability to be fully locked, permit entrance into your house only, enable only exit from your home, or be put in two-way exit and entry mode. This will give you solutions for all times of night and day, to have control over exactly how your cat flap works. A few of the top-end models can be programmed to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, in keeping with yours and your cat's needs.

If you've got a wood door in your home in Redbourn, installing a cat flap yourself shouldn't be all that complicated. But, if you're looking to install it into a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you must ask for outside help. These types of fittings call for a professional installation from a reputable cat flap installer or handyman with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN REDBOURN

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while trying to fit your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, send them on their way immediately. New cat flaps can not be fitted into pre-existing double glazing window or door panels. Making holes in your double glazing damages not simply the strength and security of the glazing, but it compromises the thermal insulation attributes too. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make the double glazing unsafe.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazing pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your local Redbourn cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current panel and put in an order for the new one. As part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be installed snugly into. This might take two weeks or so to manufacture, but it is the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. Once you have obtained your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new unit fitted. It's now possible to fit the cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - The simplest alternative for cat flap installations in Redbourn, as was mentioned previously, are wood doors. If you are unsure of cutting a hole in your back or front door, it's a good move to call in an expert to undertake the project for you.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally speaking be fitted into uPVC doors. You'll need to ascertain what the interior structure of you door is, since for added security certain uPVC door panels are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the easiest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted style panel, it may be advisable to swap this for a single pane.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to get a cat flap installed on an exterior wall of your home in Redbourn, if you don't wish to have a hole cut in one of your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons. Calling for considerably more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is certainly best left to the pros, if it is to be executed correctly. Almost all wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angular access through a pillar can also be achieved.

You local cat flap fitter should be able to remove the old cat flap, without harming the surrounding wall, window or door, and fit a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

When your installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it is necessary to make sure that this was previously done in the right way, before attaching the new cat flap. If the previous installation was a bodge job, the glass must be removed and exchanged to avoid any security and safety issues with the new flap.
