Cat Flap Fitter South Benfleet

Cat Flap Fitter South Benfleet Essex (SS7): A good way to improve your cat's independence and improve it's quality of life is to install a cat flap on an outside wall or door of your home in South Benfleet. Similar to people, when kept inside, cats will likely show signs of irritability and frustration. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main benefits of allowing your pet access to the outside world with a cat flap. But what form of cat flap is the best solution in your case?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A bit of flexible material hung over a hole in a door to permit a cat to climb through, but keep the elements out. While this may be acceptable for a fence panel or outhouse door, the majority of cat owners in South Benfleet would doubtless favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house.

This standard model can be improved on slightly with magnetic strips to keep the flap in place, but it is still a long way from being ideal because it enables other cats or animals a way to enter into your home.

A step up from the magnetic strip style are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar featuring a magnet, RF or IR chip. No animal will be able to leave or access your house unless it is equipped with this special collar. The reality that any other cat in the neighbourhood who has a similar model of collar can get into your house, is the drawback with this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to a certain extent with an RF cat flap and collar system containing an owner programmed unique identifier.

The next level in feline entrance security is to install the kind of cat flap which identifies your cat's own micro-chip. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. Exit and entry can only be achieved by micro-chipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked whenever you cat is nearby.

The ability to lock it in place is essential no matter what cat flap you're buying. Most cat flaps sold today boast a 4-way locking system. This allows your cat flap to permit exit only, be locked fully, permit only access into your home, or have 2-way entry and exit functionality. This provides you with choices for all times of day and night, to control how your cat flap works. A few of the more expensive cat flaps can be programmed to carry out different functions according to the time of day, in keeping with yours and your pet's requirements.

If you're fairly good at do-it-yourself, fitting your own cat flap shouldn't be that difficult, if you've got a wooden door on your South Benfleet home. Not in any circumstances should you try and fit a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door. This sort of installation will require the attention of an expert, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and skilled odd job men who'll be delighted to undertake such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN SOUTH BENFLEET

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, immediately send them packing. It is simply not possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazed door panel or window pane. Drilling holes in any sort of double glazing will damage its security and strength, together with its thermal insulation attributes. In fact, it renders your glazing unsound and it should never be attempted.

An experienced cat flap fitter will take the measurements of the existing double glazing pane and have a local glazing firm knock up a new one. This new panel will have a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its construction where the cat flap will be fitted. This may take a week or two to manufacture, but it is basically the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. Once you've acquired your new panel of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new unit fitted. The installation of your cat flap can then be completed.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier in this article, timber doors are the simplest option when it comes to installing a new cat flap on your home in South Benfleet. It is generally safer to employ the expert services of a professional handyman or cat flap fitter, if you are in any way uncomfortable with cutting a big hole in your front door. This should provide you with the peace of mind that you are going to wind up with a professionally fitted cat flap, and that the job has been accomplished properly.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly feasible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You or your installer will have to ascertain what the interior structure of you door actually is, because for additional security some uPVC door panels are made with a reinforced steel lining. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted style panel, it may be advisable to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - It is also a possibility to get a cat flap mounted on an external wall of your house in South Benfleet, if you do not wish to cut holes in your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons. Needing considerably more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap install is definitely best left to the pros, if it's to be completed correctly. There are several options for this kind of installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angular (through pillar) configuration. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted into a square hole neatly cut into your wall. A cat flap is then attached to each end of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in South Benfleet - If you already have a cat flap installed on your wall, door or window, but it is broken or not working correctly, the current hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for the installation of a new one. A professional South Benfleet cat flap fitter will be happy to take off your old device and swap it for a new cat flap without causing any harm to the wall, door or window on which it's mounted.

Before attaching the new cat flap in a double glazed panel which has been previously pre-cut, confirming that the current glass has been made and installed accurately is crucial. The glass pane will need to be removed and exchanged to avoid any security and safety problems, if it is found this isn't the case and corners were cut during the earlier installation.
