Cat Flap Fitter Stratford-upon-Avon Warwickshire (CV37): Installing a cat flap doesn't just save you the bother of having to open the door every time the cat needs to go out or in, it also affords your cat more independence and enhances it's overall quality of life. Cats tend to get irritated and grouchy when kept indoors, and not allowed to roam free. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is just one of the benefits of giving your pet accessibility to outside world via a cat flap. If you choose to go with the cat flap option, you'll then have to determine what is the best type of cat flap.
The most rudimentry form of cat flap is basically that. A hole is cut in an exterior door and a flexible material is hung over the gap to give protection from the elements. The vast majority of cat owners in Stratford-upon-Avon would prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their home, although this could be appropriate for an outhouse or shed door.
As this option can allow other creatures or cats to enter your property, it isn't at all recommended, although it can be enhanced a bit by keeping the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.
Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap. With these, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. No animal will be able to access or leave your home unless it's equipped with this special collar. Again this is a pretty basic kind of cat flap, given that any other moggy in the Stratford-upon-Avon area who's got a similar style of collar will be able to access your home. Even these cat flaps can be improved to a certain extent with an RF cat flap/collar system offering a user programmed unique identifier. Your purrfect companion is the sole one to gain access, offering an added layer of control and security.
Installing a cat flap which can be operated by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next level in entrance gadgets for felines. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to give exclusive access. Exit and entry can only be achieved by micro-chipped pets, and the flap will be unfastened whenever you cat is in close proximity.
No matter which cat flap you purchase, it should have the ability to be locked in position. Most cat flaps sold these days have a 4-way locking system. This means that the cat flap can be fully locked, enable entry into your home only, allow exit only, or be set for 2-way exit and entry. This gives you alternatives for all times of night and day, to control exactly how your cat flap functions. In keeping with yours and your pet's needs, there is even the possibility to perform particular functions according to the time of day, with several of the higher end devices.
If you've got a wood door in your house in Stratford-upon-Avon, installing a cat flap yourself shouldn't be that hard. On no account should you try and fit a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door. This kind of installation will require the attention of a professional, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and talented odd job men who'll be delighted to undertake such a task.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN STRATFORD-UPON-AVON
Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, send them on their way immediately. It's just not possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Drilling holes in any sort of double glazing will damage its security and strength, along with its thermal attributes. In reality, it makes your glazing unsound and it should never be done.
A specialist cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current double glazing unit and have a glazing firm knock up a new purpose made pane. So the cat flap can be nicely installed into it, this new glazed unit will be provided with a pre-cut hole as part of its construction. This is the only way to install a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it can take a week or more to manufacture. Once you've obtained your new pane of glass, the old unit can be removed and the new panel installed. Your cat flap will then be fitted.
Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid timber doors are, as already stated, the simplest alternatives for new cat flap installation in Stratford-upon-Avon. If you're a bit dubious about creating a hole in your front or back door, you may be better off getting in touch with a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. A project of this type should not be expensive and will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that your cat has a professionally installed flap.
uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly feasible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. It is necessary to know the interior construction, because some doors are steel lined for extra security. The easiest type of installation is in doors with one single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be cheaper and easier in the long run to exchange the slats for a one piece panel.
Wall Installation - It's also feasible to get a cat flap installed in an external wall of your property in Stratford-upon-Avon, if you do not want to have a hole cut in one of your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons. Needing a lot more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is undoubtedly best left to the pros, if it's to be accomplished successfully. There are a couple of possibilities for this kind of installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angled (through pillar) style. A neat square hole will have to be cut through your wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, open ended square tube. A cat flap is then mounted on both ends of the hole.
Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Stratford-upon-Avon - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap installed, but it has stopped working effectively, or is damaged, it's possible to fit a replacement into the current cavity. A specialist Stratford-upon-Avon cat flap fitter will be happy to remove your old unit and replace it with a new cat flap without causing any harm to the wall, window or door on which it's attached.
Before attaching a new flap in double glazing that has been previously pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been fabricated, cut and installed accurately is crucial. If the previous installation was bodged, the panel will have to be removed and exchanged to avoid any safety and security issues with the new flap.
