Cat Flap Fitter Somerton

Cat Flap Fitter Somerton Somerset (TA11): Installing a cat flap doesn't only save you the inconvenience of opening the door every time the cat needs to stroll in or out, it also gives your cat extra independence and boosts it's all round quality of life. Rather like people, when kept indoors for long periods of time, cats will sometimes show signs of irritability and frustration. When granted instant access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your pet has a better chance of staying healthy and strong. But what type of cat flap is best for your circumstances?

The simplest sort of cat flap is essentially that. A hole is cut in a door and a flexible material is hung over the gap to offer a bit of some protection from the elements. Whilst this could be suitable in a fence panel or outhouse door, most cat owners in Somerton would no doubt favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their home.

Because this option will allow other cats or creatures to enter your home, it's not at all ideal, although it can be enhanced a bit by holding the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a significant step up from the basic magnetic strip version. With this kind of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar featuring an RF chip, IR or magnet. This means that any animal that hasn't got a special collar can't get into or leave your property. The point that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that has a similar model of collar could possible gain access to your house, is the drawback with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. An enhancement to this product is an RF cat flap/collar system which includes a unique identifier that can be programmed by the home owner.

The next level in feline entry security is to choose the type of cat flap that identifies your cat's micro-chip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you've got several cats), to provide exclusive access. Entry and exit are only possible for micro-chipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is in the vicinity.

When you are purchasing a cat flap, you should make certain that it is of a type that can be locked. The majority of cat flaps sold today boast a four way locking mechanism. Which means that the cat flap can permit exit only, be fully locked, enable only entry into your property, or be set for two way entry and exit. This gives you choices for all times of night and day, to have control over precisely how your cat flap functions. The wherewithal to perform particular functions according to the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your pet's needs is also a possibility with some of the higher end models of cat flap.

If you have a wooden door on your property in Somerton, installing you own cat flap shouldn't be all that complicated. Under no circumstances should you attempt to install a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door. These kinds of fittings call for a professional installation from a reliable cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN SOMERTON

Double Glazing Installation - If your cat flap is going to be installed in a double glazed door or window panel, and your hired "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop them right away and show them the gate. A new cat flap can not be fitted into a pre-existing double glazed door panel or window pane. Making holes in the double glazing damages not merely the security and strength of the glazing, but it removes the insulation properties as well. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders your double glazing unsafe.

A specialist cat flap fitter will measure the existing double glazed pane and have a local Somerton glazing firm knock up a new one. As an integral part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed snugly into. This might take two weeks or so to produce, but it is really the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door. Once you've acquired your new glass pane, the old unit can be taken out and the new one fitted. The fitting of the cat flap can then be concluded.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier, solid wood door panels are the least complicated option with regards to cat flap installation on your house in Somerton. If you're dubious about cutting a hole in your back or front door, it's it may be better to contact a specialist to complete the task for you. A project like this should not be expensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your pet will have the use of a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in most instances. It pays to know the internal construction, since some uPVC doors incorporate a steel lining for further security. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it might be advisable to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for safety or aesthetic reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into a door, you could opt to install your cat flap in an external wall of your house. This kind of installment is definitely better left to an expert, because it calls for much more equipment and skill to accomplish. There are a couple of options for this installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angle (through pillar) model. A square shaped hole will need to be cut through your wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. Both ends of the hole are then installed with a cat flap so your feline friend can exit and enter your house whenever it desires.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Somerton - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working correctly, the existing hole in your door, wall or window can be used for a replacement providing that the new flap is of an equivalent size. Your cat flap fitter will be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding wall, door or window, and install a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

Before attaching a new flap in a double glazing pane which has been pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been fabricated, cut and installed correctly is crucial. The panel will have to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems, if it is found this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the previous installation.
