Cat Flap Fitter Southwater

Cat Flap Fitter Southwater West Sussex (RH13): Fitting a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Southwater house provides your cat with the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life. Much like humans, when kept indoors, cats will likely show signs of frustration and unease. Allowing your pet accessibility to world outside with a cat flap can also help in keeping them physically and mentally fit. However, what sort of cat flap is the best solution in your case?

The most basic sort of cat flap, is just that. A hole in a door with a bendable sheet of material hung over it, to keep the weather out, but allow the cat climb through. Naturally, this is extremely basic, and won't be sufficient for most Southwater cat owners, who would doubtless favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their home, although it might be acceptable for an outhouse door or fence panel.

This uncomplicated design is still a long way from being perfect because it allows other creatures or cats to enter your house, however it can be improved on to some degree with the addition of magnetic strips to keep the flap in position.

The next step up from the magnetic strip version are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar featuring a magnet, RF or IR chip. Therefore any animal that does not have a special collar cannot get into or leave your home. The downside is that any other cat in the area that has a similar style of collar might be able to access your home with this kind of cat flap fitted. Even these cat flaps can be improved to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system offering an owner programmed unique identifier.

The type of cat flap that is able to identify your cat's microchip, is the next step-up in Southwater feline entrance security. The number of your cat's micro-chip is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one cat). When your cat passes close to the flap, it will unlock and allow just your microchipped pets to enter/exit.

Whichever cat flap you buy, it should be capable of being locked in position. Currently, most cat flaps on the market feature a 4-way locking system for added security. This means that the cat flap can allow exit only, be fully locked, enable only admittance into your premises, or be set for two way exit and entry. This provides you with a range of choices on exactly how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night. The ability to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on your pet's and your requirements is also a possibility with some of the high end brands of cat flap.

If you're pretty decent at DIY, putting in your own cat flap shouldn't be too much of a challenge, if you've got a wooden door on your property in Southwater. However, if it needs to be installed into a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you should on no account even attempt it yourself. These types of fixtures require a professional installation from a dependable cat flap fitter or handyman with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN SOUTHWATER

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ somebody who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to put in your cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. A new cat flap cannot be installed into a pre-existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Drilling holes in any type of double glazing will ruin its strength and security, along with its thermal properties. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders your double glazing unsound.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazing pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your chosen Southwater cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your existing unit and put in an order for the new one. As part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This could take two weeks or so to produce, but it is basically the only way to install a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door. Once you've taken possession of your new panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new pane installed. It will now be possible to install and set up the new cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The easiest alternative for cat flap installations in Southwater, as was stated earlier in this article, are solid wood doors. It is normally safer to call on a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you are unsure about cutting a hole in your front or back door. This kind of project won't be too expensive and is well worth doing properly, if having your cat flap expertly installed provides you with that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly possible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. You will need to find out what the interior structure of you door actually is, because for additional security some uPVC doors are made with a steel lining. A one piece panel enables easier installation, so if you have a uPVC door that is slatted, it might be more economical to exchange this panel for a single pane model.

Wall Installation - If you don't really want to have a hole cut into your doors, either for security or aesthetic reasons, you can have a cat flap installed on an external wall. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires a bit more skill and equipment to install, therefore it's definitely better left to an expert. Almost all cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnelled style, however right angular access via a pillar is also a possibility. Installation calls for a square shaped hole being made through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so your cat can get in and out of your home whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Southwater - If you already have a cat flat, but it is either broken or not working correctly, the current hole in your window, wall or door can be fitted with a replacement provided that the new flap is of an equivalent size. You local cat flap installer will be able to take off the old cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding window, door or wall, and fit a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it is necessary to make certain that this was previously done accurately, before fixing the new flap. The pane must be removed and substituted to avoid any safety and security problems, if it is found this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the previous installation.
