Cat Flap Fitter Street

Cat Flap Fitter Street Somerset (BA16): Installing a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Street house provides your cat with the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats are like people in a lot of ways, and will likely start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept indoors for lengthy periods of time without a break. Having a cat that's both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main benefits of allowing your furry friend easy access to outside world via a cat flap. But what form of cat flap is the best solution for your situation?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole is cut into an external door and a flexible material is fixed over it to offer some protection from the weather. Though this may be acceptable in a fence panel or outhouse door, the vast majority of cat owners in Street would no doubt prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their house.

This basic design can be marginally improved on with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place, but it is still a long way off being ideal since it enables other animals or cats a means by which to get into your house.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap. This involves your cat wearing a collar which has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased inside it. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and access or leave your home, therefore keeping out some undesirable visitors. The drawback is that any other moggy in the area who has a similar collar could perhaps gain access to your home when using this sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these products as they can be programmed by the user to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet.

The kind of cat flap that is able to identify your cat's microchip, is the next level in Street feline access security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got several cats), to provide exclusive access. The flap will be unfastened anytime your cat is in close proximity, only allowing entry or exit to animals that have a microchip.

The ability to lock it in place is important regardless which cat flap you are purchasing. Most cat flaps sold nowadays feature a 4-way locking system. Which means that the cat flap can allow only entry into your house, enable exit from your premises only, be fully locked, or be set for two way entry and exit. This provides total control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night time. Some more expensive cat flaps can be set to carry out specific functions according to the time of day, in keeping with your pet's and your needs.

If you've got a timber door on your house in Street, installing a cat flap yourself should not be too difficult. Although, if it is going to be installed into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should not even attempt it on your own. This type of installation calls for the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and skilled handymen who'll be delighted to take on such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN STREET

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap needs to be mounted on a double glazing door or window panel, and your appointed "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the work immediately and give them the boot. It's just not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Any type of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling or cutting into it, and will detract from its strength, security and insulating attributes. It should under no circumstances be attempted and renders your double glazing unsound.

An experienced cat flap installer will measure your current double glazing unit and have a local Street glazing company knock up a new pane. This new glazed panel will have a pre-cut hole as a part of its construction where the cat flap can be fitted. You might have to wait a week or more for this to be produced, however if you need a cat flap installed in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is the only way to do it. After fabrication, your old glass can be taken out, and the brand new one put in. The cat flap will then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid timber doors are, as I already stated, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Street. If you are nervous about cutting a hole in your front door, it's a good move to call in a professional to do the job for you. This will provide you with the peace of mind that you'll wind up with a professionally fitted cat friendly flap, and that the job has been undertaken properly.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be installed with a cat flap. However, certain uPVC doors have got a steel lining for further security, which can cause some issues. A one-piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it might be more cost effective to replace the panel with a single panel model.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to have a cat flap fitted into an external wall of your property in Street, if you do not want to have a hole cut in one of your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons. This kind of installment is definitely better left to the pros, because it requires considerably more equipment and skill to accomplish. Almost all wall cat flap installations involve a basic straight tunnel style, however right angle access via a pillar is also a possibility. Installation involves a square hole being made through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. An appropriate cat flap can then be attached to both ends of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Street - If you already have a cat flap fitted on a window, door or wall, but it is broken or not working properly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for the installation of a new one. A trustworthy cat flap fitter in Street will be able to remove the old cat flap, and fit a brand new one as a replacement without causing damage to the window, door or wall.

If the new cat flap is to be mounted into a pre cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must ensure that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed correctly. The glass will have to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety problems, if it is found that this isn't the case and corners were cut during the original installation.
