Cat Flap Fitter Saxmundham Suffolk (IP17): Installing a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Saxmundham home provides your cat with the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats which are kept indoors, much like people, will show signs of irritability. When allowed quick access to the outside world with a cat flap, your precious cat has a better chance of staying fit and healthy. So, you're sold on the idea, but precisely what is best kind of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most rudimentry sort of cat flap is essentially that. A bit of bendable material placed over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to climb through, but keep out the elements. Naturally, this is really basic, and will rarely good enough for most cat owners in Saxmundham, who would prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although it might be suitable for a fence panel or outhouse door.

This standard model is still a long way from being ideal as it allows other creatures or cats a way to get into your property, however it can be somewhat improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

The next step up from the magnetic strip model are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. In this case, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. No animal will be able to get into or leave your home unless it's equipped with this special collar. The downside is that any other cat in the neighbourhood that has a similar collar will be able to get into your property with this type of cat flap fitted. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system providing an owner programmed unique identifier. With this, an added layer of security and control is established to make certain that only your furry friend gets access.

The next level in feline entrance security is to use a model of cat flap that recognises your cat's own micro-chip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. Exit and entry are only possible for micro-chipped animals, and the flap is unfastened when you cat is in the vicinity.

Being able to lock it in place is essential regardless of what cat flap you're purchasing. For added flexibility, almost all cat flaps boast a four way locking mechanism nowadays. Which means that the cat flap can be locked fully, enable only access into your property, permit exit from your house only, or be set for two way entry and exit. This provides you with a range of choices on precisely how your cat flap works any time of the day and night. The facility to perform different functions according to the time of day, and based on your cat's and your requirements is also an option with some of the higher end brands of cat flap.

If you've got a wooden door in your property in Saxmundham, fitting a cat flap yourself shouldn't be too difficult. Although, if it has to be installed into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you should on no account even attempt it by yourself. These situations call for the expertise and skills of a reputable cat flap fitter or odd job man, who'll have all the knowledge and tools for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN SAXMUNDHAM

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap has to be fitted into a double glazed panel, and your hired "tradesman" tries to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and give them their marching orders. New cat flaps can't be fitted into pre-existing double glazed doors or window panels. Making holes in the double glazing destroys not simply the security and strength of the panel, but it removes the insulation attributes as well. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders your double glazing unsafe.

A reliable Saxmundham cat flap installer will meticulously measure up your existing panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing company. So that the cat flap can be snugly installed into it, this new glazed unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its structure. This could take a couple of weeks to produce, but it is the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. Once you have acquired your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new unit installed. It's now possible to fit your cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Wooden doors are, as already stated, the easiest options for installing a new cat flap in Saxmundham.

This will provide you with the peace of mind that you'll finish up with a professionally fitted cat flap, and that the job has been completed properly.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite possible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. However, some uPVC doors are lined with steel for further security, which may cause some issues. A one-piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it might be less expensive to replace the panel with a single pane model.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you do not wish to have a chunk cut out of one of your doors, you could always decide to install a cat flap in an external wall of your property in Saxmundham. This form of installment is undoubtedly better left to a specialist, since it requires a lot more skill and equipment to accomplish. There are a number of choices for this kind of installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angle (through pillar) style. With this kind of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly cut into your wall. The cat flap you have chosen can then be mounted on both ends to permit your furry pal to exit and enter as it pleases.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Saxmundham - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either damaged or not working correctly, the existing hole in your wall, door or window can be fitted with a replacement so long as the new cat flap is of an equivalent size. You local cat flap fitter will be able to take off the old cat flap, without causing damage to the wall, window or door, and install a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

When your cat flap installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it will be necessary to confirm that this was previously done correctly, before fitting the new cat flap. The glass must be taken out and substituted to avoid any safety and security issues, if it becomes obvious this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the previous installation.
