Cat Flap Fitter Stone

Cat Flap Fitter Stone Staffordshire (ST15): To give your cat the freedom and independence that it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Stone home. Cats are inclined to get grouchy and irritated when continuously kept inside, and not able to roam. Having a cat that is both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main benefits of allowing your pet accessibility to world outside by means of a cat flap. However, what kind of cat flap is best for your circumstances?

The most rudimentry kind of cat flap is basically that. A sheet of flexible material fixed over a hole in a door to allow a cat to climb through, but keep the elements out. The vast majority of cat owners in Stone would favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their property, although this might be appropriate for a shed or outhouse door.

This standard model is still far from perfect since it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to enter your house, nonetheless it can be improved upon with the addition of magnetic strips to keep the flap in place.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar boasting a magnet, IR or RF chip. This means that any animal that does not have a special collar cannot leave or get into your home. The drawback here is that any other moggy in the Stone area that has a similar model of collar can easily get into your home with this type of cat flap fitted. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of this equipment as they can be programmed by the cat owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat.

The next level in feline access security is to consider a model of cat flap that recognises your pet's micro-chip. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's microchip into the memory the cat flap (which is powered by batteries), and if you have more than one cat it will accept multiple entries. The flap will be unlocked when your cat is in close proximity, only permitting entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.

Being able to lock it in place is important regardless of what cat flap you are buying. Most cat flaps sold these days boast a four way locking mechanism. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit only exit from your home, be locked fully, enable entrance into your house only, or have 2-way entry and exit functionality. This will provide you with options for all times of day and night, to have control over exactly how your cat flap functions. Some of the more expensive cat flaps can be programmed to perform specific functions according to the time of day, in line with yours and your cat's requirements.

If you've got a timber door in your home in Stone, installing a cat flap yourself should not be that hard. Not in any circumstances should you try to fit a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door. This sort of installation will require the attention of an expert, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and skilled handymen who are glad to take on such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN STONE

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire someone who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your cat flap, stop them without delay and ask them to leave. It isn't possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Making a hole in your double glazing destroys not just the strength and security of the panel, but it compromises the insulation attributes too. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsafe.

A professional cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current double glazed unit and have a local glazing firm knock up a new pane. As part of its structure this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This is really the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, although it might take one or two weeks to manufacture. Once you've acquired your new adapted pane of glass, the old unit can be removed and the new panel installed. It will now be possible to fit the new cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The least complicated alternative for cat flap installations in Stone, as was previously mentioned, are wooden door panels. If you are hesitant about creating a hole in your front door, it's it may be better to call on a professional to undertake the project for you. This kind of project will not be expensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your pet will have the use of a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite feasible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You will need to find out what the internal construction of you door actually is, because for extra security some uPVC door panels are made with a steel lining. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the easiest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - It's also possible to get a cat flap fitted into an outside wall of your house in Stone, if you don't wish to cut holes in your doors, whether for aesthetic or safety reasons. This form of installation is certainly better left to a specialist, since it requires a lot more equipment and skill to accomplish. Almost all cat flap installations in walls involve a basic straight tunnel style, but right angled access via a pillar is also possible. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly cut out of your wall. A cat flap can then be installed on each end of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Stone - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either broken or not functioning correctly, the existing hole in your door, wall or window can be used for a replacement so long as the new flap is of a similar size. Your cat flap installer will remove the unwanted cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding door, window or wall, and fit a new flap for your cat.

Before fitting a new flap in a double glazed pane which has been pre-cut, checking that the current glass has been manufactured and installed accurately is essential. The glass will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems, if you discover this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the earlier installation.
