Cat Flap Fitter Ringwood

Cat Flap Fitter Ringwood Hampshire (BH24): Installing a cat flap doesn't just save you the effort of opening the door every time the cat chooses to go in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and enhances it's quality of life. In a similar vein to people, when kept indoors for long periods of time, cats will frequently start to show signs of anxiety and frustration. Having easy access to outside world with a cat flap will help your furry friend to remain fit, both physically and mentally. If you opt to go down the cat flap route, your next decision will be what is the best type of cat flap for you.

The simplest sort of cat flap is essentially that. A hole is cut in an outside door and a flexible material is hung over it to offer protection from the weather. Naturally, this is really basic, and will rarely sufficient for most Ringwood cat owners, who would doubtless favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property, although it could be okay for a fence panel or outhouse door.

Because this option allows other cats or animals to enter your home, it is not at all ideal, although it can be improved on a bit by keeping the flap in position by adding magnetic strips.

The next step up from the magnetic strip model are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. This means that any animal that hasn't got one of these special collars cannot leave or get into your home. The downside here is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who's got a similar model of collar may be able to gain access to your property with this kind of cat flap fitted. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these devices because they can be programmed by the user to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet.

Choosing a cat flap that can be triggered by your pet's own microchip, is the next step-up in entrance gadgets for felines in Ringwood. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's microchip into the memory the cat flap (which is powered by batteries), and if you've got several cats it will allow multiple entries. When your cat passes close to the flap, it unlocks and permits just your micro-chipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

The ability to lock it in position is essential whichever cat flap you're buying. For added security, most cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism these days. This means that it's got the capability to enable exit only, permit only entry into your home, be locked fully, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This will give you a variety of choices on how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night. In line with your cat's and your requirements, there is even the possibility to carry out different functions according to the time of day, with some of the more advanced devices.

If you're fairly good at DIY, putting in a cat flap shouldn't be all that difficult, if you have a solid wood door on your Ringwood home. On no account should you try and install a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window. These situations require the skills and expertise of an experienced cat flap fitter or odd job man, who is sure to have have all the equipment and knowledge for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN RINGWOOD

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing panel, send them on their way immediately. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Drilling or cutting into any sort of double glazing will ruin its strength and security, along with its insulating attributes. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it shouldn't be attempted in any circumstances.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazed pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your local Ringwood cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current unit and put in an order for the new one. So the cat flap can be nicely installed into it, this new glazed pane will be provided with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its construction. This is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, although it can take a week or two to manufacture. After construction, your old glass panel can be taken out, and the brand new one put in. The fitting of your cat flap can then be concluded.

External Wooden Doors - The most straightforward option for installing a new cat flap in Ringwood, as was mentioned previously, are timber door panels. If you are uncomfortable with cutting a hole in your back or front door, it's advisable to bring in an expert to undertake the project for you. This should provide you with the peace of mind that you are going to wind up with an expertly installed cat flap, and that the project has been completed correctly and without causing harm to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. However, some uPVC door panels are steel lined for added security, which could cause problems. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted style door panel, it may be advisable to swap this for a single pane.

Wall Installation - It is also possible to get a cat flap installed in an exterior wall of your house in Ringwood, if you do not want to have a hole cut in one of your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons. Requiring much more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap installation is certainly best left to a specialist, if it is to be accomplished correctly. Nearly all cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnelled style, but right angle access via a pillar is also a possibility. This installation calls for a square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted. Both ends of the hole are then installed with an appropriate cat flap so that your furry pal can get in and out of the house whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Ringwood - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working correctly, the current hole in your door, window or wall can be fitted with a replacement provided that the new cat flap is of a comparable size. Your cat flap installer will be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding door, window or wall, and fit a new flap for your cat.

If the new cat flap is going to be mounted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must make sure that the existing glass has been made and installed correctly. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the glass will have to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues with the new cat flap.
