Cat Flap Fitter Ruskington

Cat Flap Fitter Ruskington Lincolnshire (NG34): To allow your cat the freedom and independence it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Ruskington property. Cats that are kept indoors, as with humans, will show signs of irritation. Giving your cat accessibility to outside world via a cat flap can also help keep them physically and mentally fit. Naturally, that isn't the whole story, since there are many kinds of cat flap, and deciding which one is best for your cat might not be so simple.

A cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A sheet of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to climb through, but keep the elements out. While this might be appropriate in a shed door or garden fence panel, most Ruskington cat owners would doubtless prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home.

This standard model can be marginally improved on with magnetic strips to keep the flap in place, but it is still far from ideal because it allows other cats or animals a means by which to get into your home.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip version. With this kind of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar fitted with an RF chip, IR or magnet. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will not be able to open the flap and leave or get into your house, hence keeping out some unwanted visitors. The downside here is that any other cat in the area that has a similar model of collar can easily get into your property when using this kind of cat flap. An improvement to this product is a RF cat flap and collar system which features a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat owner. Gaining access is restricted to only your furry companion, resulting in an additional layer of control and security.

The type of cat flap that is capable of identifying your pet's own micro-chip, is the next level in feline access security. The number of your cat's microchip is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one cat). Whenever your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and allow solely your microchipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

Regardless of what cat flap you buy, it should be capable of being locked in position. Most cat flaps sold these days feature a four way locking mechanism. This allows your cat flap to permit exit only, be locked fully, permit admission into your home only, or have two way entry and exit capability. This gives you a range of options on precisely how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night time. The ability to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your cat's requirements is also a possibility with some of the top-end models of cat flap.

If you have a wooden door in your house in Ruskington, installing a cat flap yourself shouldn't be all that complicated. On no account should you attempt to install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel. Such situations require the skills and expertise of a professional cat flap fitter or handyman, who will have all the equipment and knowledge for this sort of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN RUSKINGTON

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazing window or door panel, send them packing immediately. New cat flaps can not be installed into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Any sort of double glazing will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will diminish its thermal attributes, strength and security. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it shouldn't be attempted under any circumstances whatsoever.

A reputable Ruskington cat flap installer will carefully take the measurements of your current pane and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing supplier. As part of its structure this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be installed perfectly into. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, even though it might take a week or more to produce. Once you have taken possession of your new panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new pane installed. The installing of the cat flap can then be concluded.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, wooden door panels are the simplest option in relation to installing a new cat flap on your property in Ruskington. If you're somewhat nervous about making a hole in your door, you might be happier bringing in an expert cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. A project of this sort will not be expensive and will provide you with peace of mind that your pet will have the use of an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite possible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You or your fitter will have to verify what the internal structure of you door is, since for additional security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a galvanised steel lining. A one piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you have a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be more economical to replace the panel with a single panel model.

Wall Installation - It's also possible to have a cat flap installed on an external wall of your house in Ruskington, if you do not wish to cut holes in your doors, either for safety or aesthetic reasons. A cat flap entrance in a wall calls for considerably more equipment and skill to fit, so it's definitely better left to a professional. There are several possibilities for this type of installation, including a straightforward version, or a right angled (through pillar) adaption. With this kind of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted into a square hole cut out of your wall. An appropriate cat flap is then attached to each side of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Ruskington - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either broken or not working properly, the current hole in your wall, door or window can still be used as long as the new cat flap is of a similar size. A trustworthy cat flap fitter in Ruskington will be capable of removing your unwanted cat flap, and fix a new one as a replacement without damaging the window, wall or door.

If the replacement cat flap is going to be mounted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must make sure that the existing glass has been cut and installed correctly. If it's found this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass pane will need to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.

THE CONVENIENCE OF CAT FLAPS

Both felines and their owners enjoy numerous advantages from a cat flap:

1. Better Control: For enhanced control, some advanced cat flaps can be programmed and synchronised with your cat's microchip or a special collar tag, ensuring that only your cat has the ability to use the flap, thereby regulating their comings and goings.
2. Enhanced Security: Equipped with locking mechanisms, many cat flaps can be adjusted to permit only particular cats entry, while keeping out undesired visitors. This functionality boosts home security by obstructing the ingress of strays and potential threats.
3. Reduced Stress: Cat flaps eliminate the need for constant monitoring and door opening for your cat, reducing stress for both you and your pet. Cats can exit and enter without waiting for your assistance.
4. Independence for Cats: By allowing access to the outdoors, exercise, and a means to satisfy their innate curiosity, cat flaps cater to the independent nature of cats, improving their health and boosting their happiness.
5. Convenience for Owners: Owners no longer have to interrupt their daily routines to let their cats out or in. This convenience is especially valuable for those with busy lifestyles or irregular schedules.
