Cat Flap Fitter Shifnal

Cat Flap Fitter Shifnal Shropshire (TF11): To allow your cat the independence and freedom that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Shifnal home. When constantly kept indoors, cats as with humans, will get irritated and crabby. Having easy access to world outside via a cat flap will help your pet to keep fit, both physically and mentally. If this sounds like a good option for you, what kind of cat flap should you put in?

The most fundamental style of cat flap, is merely that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible piece of material fixed over it, to keep out the elements, but allow the cat pass through. While this might be acceptable for a shed or outhouse door, the vast majority of Shifnal cat owners would doubtless prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their house.

Because this option will allow other animals or cats to enter your house, it isn't at all ideal, although it can be enhanced a bit by keeping the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar boasting an RF chip, IR or magnet. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it won't be able to trigger the flap and access or leave your home, therefore keeping out some undesirable visitors. The point that any other moggy in the Shifnal area who's got a similar collar can easily gain access to your property, is the downside with this still fairly basic sort of cat flap. An upgrade to this equipment is a RF cat flap and collar system which contains a unique identifier which can be programmed by the home owner.

The next stage in feline entrance security is to fit the kind of cat flap that identifies your pet's micro-chip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have several cats), to give exclusive access. When your cat is close to the flap, it will unlock and permit solely your microchipped pets to enter or exit.

Regardless which cat flap you purchase, it must be capable of being locked in place. For extra flexibility, nearly all cat flaps boast a four way locking system these days. This allows your cat flap to be locked fully, permit only access into your premises, enable exit from your house only, or have 2-way exit and entrance functionality. This will provide you with a range of alternatives on how your cat flap functions at all times of the day and night time. The wherewithal to perform particular functions according to the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your pet's requirements is also an option with some of the more advanced models of cat flap.

Fitting a cat flap on your own can be pretty simple if you've got a solid wood door on your Shifnal home, and reasonable do-it-yourself capabilities. Although, if it needs to be installed into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you should not even attempt it on your own. This type of installation requires the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap installers and skilled odd job men who are happy to accept such work.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN SHIFNAL

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ somebody who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your cat flap, stop them at once and request that they leave. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Making a hole in your double glazing destroys not just the security and strength of the glazing, but it removes the insulating attributes too. Your double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should not be done in any circumstances.

An experienced cat flap installer will measure up the existing double glazing unit and have a local Shifnal glazing firm knock up a new purpose made pane. This new glazed pane will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its structure where the cat flap will be installed. This could take a week or so to manufacture, however it's really the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door. Once you've obtained your new glass pane, the old unit can be taken out and the new one fitted. It will now be possible to fit your cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - The easiest option for installing a new cat flap in Shifnal, as was stated earlier, are solid wood doors. It's generally best to contact an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you're in any way unsure of creating a big hole in your back or front door. This should give you the reassurance that you'll end up with a professionally installed cat flap, and that the project has been done properly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can in general be fitted into uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the internal construction, as some door panels are steel lined for further security. The simplest type of cat flap installation is in doors with a single panel, therefore if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be easier and cheaper overall to exchange the slats for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to have a cat flap installed in an outside wall of your home in Shifnal, if you don't wish to have a hole cut in one of your doors, for security or aesthetic reasons. Needing considerably more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is definitely better left to a specialist, if it is to be accomplished correctly. Nearly all wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnel style, however right angular access through a pillar is also possible. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly cut into your specified wall. Each end of the hole is then installed with an appropriate cat flap so that your furry friend can get out of and into your home whenever it desires.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Shifnal - If your door, window or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it is not working properly, or is damaged, it is perfectly possible to mount a replacement over the current cavity. A reputable cat flap fitter in Shifnal will be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, and mount a new one in its place without harming the door, window or wall.

If the substitute cat flap is going to be fitted in a pre cut hole in double glazing, you must make certain that the glass has been made, cut and installed accurately. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge job, the panel will have to be removed and substituted to avoid any security and safety problems with the new cat flap.
