Cat Flap Fitter Southport

Cat Flap Fitter Southport Merseyside (PR8): To allow your cat the independence that it needs to live a happy life, you could fit a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Southport home. When kept indoors, cats just like humans, will get grouchy and irritated. Having accessibility to world outside via a cat flap will help your furry friend to remain fit, both mentally and physically. However, what type of cat flap is better for your situation?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is just that. A sheet of flexible material hung over a hole in a door to enable a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. Although this may be acceptable in a garden fence panel or outhouse door, most cat owners in Southport would no doubt prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their property.

This standard design is still a long way off being ideal since it allows other animals or cats a means by which to enter into your house, but it can be improved upon with the addition of magnetic strips to keep the flap in position.

A step up from the magnetic strip version are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar featuring an RF chip, IR or magnet. What this means is that any animal that doesn't have one of these special collars cannot leave or access your house. The reality that any other moggy in the area that's got a similar model of collar can get into your home, is the downside with this sort of cat flap. An enhancement to this device is an RF cat flap/collar system which provides a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat's owner.

The next stage in feline entrance security is to use a cat flap which can be triggered by your pet's microchip. The number of your cat's microchip is entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one pet). The flap will be unfastened when your cat is in close proximity, only allowing access to animals that are microchipped.

Regardless of what cat flap you buy, it must have the ability to be locked in place. The majority of cat flaps sold nowadays have a four way locking system. This means that it has the capability to permit entrance into your home only, be fully locked, permit exit only, or be put in two way exit and entry mode. This provides you with a variety of alternatives on exactly how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night time. Based on your cat's and your requirements, there is even the possibility to perform particular functions according to the time of day, with a few of the top-end models.

If you have a wood door on your property in Southport, installing a cat flap yourself should not be all that complicated. Under no circumstances should you try and fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. This type of installation will require the attention of a pro, and there are specialist cat flap installers and skilled odd job men who'll be delighted to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN SOUTHPORT

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. A new cat flap can't be fitted into an existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Any sort of double glazing will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will detract from its strength, insulating properties and security. Your double glazing will be made unsafe, and it shouldn't be attempted in any circumstances.

A professional cat flap installer will measure up the existing double glazed unit and have a glazing company make a new purpose made pane. This new glazed panel will be delivered with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure where the cat flap will be installed. This can take two weeks or so to produce, but it's really the only way to install a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door. After construction, the old glass pane can be taken out, and the new adapted one put in its place. Your cat flap can then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as we previously mentioned, the simplest alternatives for cat flap installation in Southport. It's often better to hire the services of an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you're nervous about creating a hole in your back or front door. This should provide you with the peace of mind that you will end up with a professionally fitted cat friendly flap, and that the job has been done correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can normally be fitted into uPVC doors. You'll need to ascertain what the interior construction of you door actually is, because for additional security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a steel lining. A one-piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it may be more economical to replace the panel with a single pane type.

Wall Installation - If you don't want to cut a hole in your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed in an exterior wall. Calling for considerably more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is certainly best left to a professional, if it's to be accomplished successfully. Almost all cat flap installations in walls involve a simple straight tunnel style, but right angular access via a pillar can also be achieved. With this type of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly cut out of your specified wall. Each end of the hole is then fitted with a cat flap so your cat can get in and out of the house whenever it wants.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Southport - If you've already got a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working properly, the current hole in your window, wall or door can still be used so long as the new flap is of an equivalent size. You local cat flap fitter will remove the unwanted cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding door, wall or window, and fit a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

When the cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it is important to make sure that this was previously done correctly, before fitting the new cat flap. If it's discovered that the previous installation was a bodge job, the glass must be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety issues with the new cat flap.
