Cat Flap Fitter Ross-on-Wye

Cat Flap Fitter Ross-on-Wye Herefordshire (HR9): To allow your cat the independence and freedom it needs to live a happy life, you could fit a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Ross-on-Wye property. When continuously kept indoors, cats as with humans, will get irritated and grumpy. When allowed quick access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a better chance of staying healthy and fit. Obviously, that's not the end of the story, as there are numerous types of cat flaps, and determining what design is best for your cat might not be so simple.

A cat flap at its most fundamental is just that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible sheet of material placed over it, to keep the elements out, but let the cat pass through. Although this might be acceptable in a garden fence panel or shed door, most Ross-on-Wye cat owners would prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their property.

This simple model is still a long way from being ideal because it allows other cats or animals to enter into your house, nevertheless it can be slightly improved upon by adding magnetic strips to hold the flap in place.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar boasting an RF chip, IR or magnet. What this means is that any animal that doesn't have one of these special collars cannot get into or leave your home. Once again this is a relatively simple form of cat flap, since any other moggy in the area who has a similar style of collar may be able to get into your property. An improvement to this equipment is a RF cat flap/collar system which features a unique identifier that can be programmed by the home owner.

The next level in feline entry security is to use the kind of cat flap which can be triggered by your cat's microchip. The microchip details are programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got several cats). Entry and exit can only be achieved by micro-chipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is nearby.

Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you must make sure that it's of a type that can be locked. Most cat flaps sold nowadays boast a 4-way locking mechanism. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, permit entry into your premises only, permit exit only, or have two way exit and entrance capability. This provides you with a range of alternatives on exactly how your cat flap functions at all times of the day and night time. A few higher end cat flaps can be set to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, in line with your cat's and your requirements.

If you've got a timber door on your home in Ross-on-Wye, fitting a cat flap yourself shouldn't be too difficult. However, if it has to be fitted in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you should not even attempt to tackle it on your own. These kinds of fixtures require a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN ROSS-ON-WYE

Double Glazing Installations - If you employ someone who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to install your new cat flap, stop them right away and ask them to leave. New cat flaps cannot be mounted into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Making a hole in your double glazing destroys not merely the security and strength of the glazing, but it takes away the insulating properties as well. In fact, it renders the glazing unsafe and it shouldn't ever be attempted.

A professional cat flap fitter will measure the existing double glazed unit and have a local Ross-on-Wye glazing company knock up a new purpose made pane. As part of its structure this new double glazing pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be installed nicely into. This may take a week or two to produce, but it's the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door. After construction, your old glass panel can be removed, and the new modified one put in. The cat flap can then be mounted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The easiest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Ross-on-Wye, as was mentioned earlier in this article, are wooden door panels. If you're a bit uncertain about cutting an opening in your front or back door, you may be better off bringing in an expert carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This type of undertaking won't be too costly and is really worth doing correctly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional gives you that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite possible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You will need to determine what the internal structure of you door actually is, since for added security certain uPVC doors are made with a steel lining. The easiest kind of cat flap installation is in doors with one single panel, consequently if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be cheaper and easier overall to replace the slats with a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If you do not really wish to have a hole cut into your doors, for safety or aesthetic reasons, you can have a cat flap installed within an outside wall. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a bit more equipment and skill to install, therefore it is definitely better left to a specialist. The majority of wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angled access via a pillar is also a possibility. With this kind of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly cut out of your wall. A cat flap can then be attached to both sides of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Ross-on-Wye - If your door, window or wall already has a cat flap installed, but it is not working properly, or is damaged, it's entirely possible to mount a replacement over the existing cavity. A reputable cat flap fitter in Ross-on-Wye will efficiently remove the old cat flap, and mount a new one in its place without causing damage to the door, wall or window.

If the replacement cat flap is being mounted in a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, you must double check that the glass has been fabricated, cut and installed correctly. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge up, the panel will have to be removed and substituted to avoid any safety and security issues with the new flap.
