Cat Flap Fitter Scunthorpe

Cat Flap Fitter Scunthorpe Lincolnshire (DN15): The installation of a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your home in Scunthorpe, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own bit of independence. When kept inside, cats much like people, will get crabby and irritated. Giving your cat accessibility to world outside with a cat flap can help to keep them physically and mentally fit. If this sounds like a good idea to you, what form of cat flap should you go with?

The most basic kind of cat flap, is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable bit of material fixed over it, to give protection from the weather, but allow the cat pass through. Naturally, this is extremely basic, and will not be good enough for most cat owners in Scunthorpe, who would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their property, although it might be okay for an outhouse or shed door.

This simple model is still far from perfect since it allows other creatures or cats to enter into your property, nevertheless it can be improved on to some degree by adding a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red variations of cat flap. This requires that your cat wears a collar which has either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased within it. Subsequently, any animal that hasn't got a special collar cannot access or leave your house. The downside is that any other cat in the neighbourhood that has a similar collar will be able to gain access to your home when using this kind of cat flap. An enhancement to this product is an RF cat flap/collar system which contains a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat owner.

The next step-up in feline access security is to use the type of cat flap that recognises your pet's microchip. You need to enter the details of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you have several cats it will allow multiple entries. The flap will be unfastened whenever your cat is nearby, only permitting exit or entry to pets that are microchipped.

No matter which cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in place. Currently, most cat flaps on the market boast a 4-way locking mechanism for extra security. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, permit only entrance into your property, permit exit from your home only, or have two way exit and entry functionality. This offers you a variety of alternatives on precisely how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night time. The ability to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on your cat's and your needs is also a possibility with some of the more advanced models of cat flap.

If you've got a timber door in your home in Scunthorpe, fitting a cat flap yourself shouldn't be too difficult. But, if you're intending to fit it in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door, you ought to seek outside assistance. Such situations require the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or carpenter, who will have all the knowledge and tools for this kind of installation.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN SCUNTHORPE

Double Glazing Installation - If you hire someone who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to install your new cat flap, stop them without delay and ask them to leave. It's just not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Making a hole in your double glazing destroys not only the strength and security of the panel, but it removes the insulating properties too. It should under no circumstances be attempted and renders your double glazing unsound.

A reputable Scunthorpe cat flap fitter will meticulously take the precise measurements of your existing pane and order a tailor-made one from a local glazing supplier. As part of its structure this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be fitted nicely into. This might take a week or more to produce, but it is basically the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door. Once your new panel of glass is delivered, the fitter will remove the old unit, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. The installing of your cat flap will then be carried out.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as I already mentioned, the simplest options for installing a new cat flap in Scunthorpe. If you're somewhat unsure of creating a sizeable hole in your front or back door, you may be better off hiring a professional carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This will give you the peace of mind that you are going to end up with an expertly fitted cat friendly flap, and that the job has been accomplished properly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in most instances. You'll have to find out what the interior construction of you door is, because for added security some uPVC door panels are made with a reinforced steel lining. A one-piece panel enables simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be more cost effective to replace the panel with a single panel style.

Wall Installation - If you don't want to have a hole cut into your doors, either for security or aesthetic reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed within an exterior wall. Calling for a lot more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap install is certainly better left to a professional, if it is to be accomplished successfully. You can opt for a straight through tunnel style, or perhaps a right angle model that permits entry through a pillar. With this sort of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole cut into your specified wall. The cat flap you have chosen can then be attached at either end to permit your furry pal to come and go as it pleases.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Scunthorpe - If your wall, door or window already has a cat flap fitted, but it's stopped working effectively, or is damaged, it's entirely possible to fit a replacement into the existing cavity. A decent cat flap installer in Scunthorpe will be able to remove your old,unwanted cat flap, and fit a new one as a replacement without damaging the door, wall or window.

If the replacement cat flap is to be mounted into a pre-cut hole in double glazing, you must make certain that the glass has been cut and installed correctly. If it's found that 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.
