Cat Flap Fitter Sutton Coldfield

Cat Flap Fitter Sutton Coldfield West Midlands (B72): Fitting a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Sutton Coldfield house provides your cat with the independence and freedom it needs to live a happy life. Cats that are kept indoors, as with humans, will show signs of frustration. Having a cat that's both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main positive aspects of giving your furry friend easy access to outside world by means of a cat flap. So, you think it's a good idea, but which is perfect kind of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most straightforward type of cat flap, is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable sheet of material fixed over it, to keep the elements out, but let the cat climb through. Of course, this is really basic, and won't be adequate for most cat owners in Sutton Coldfield, who would no doubt favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their property, although it could be acceptable for a garden fence panel or shed door.

This basic design can be somewhat improved upon with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, but it is still a long way off being perfect because it allows other animals or cats a means by which to enter your house.

A step up from the magnetic strip style are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With these, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be enclosed in your cat's collar. No animal will be able to leave or access your house unless it is fitted with one of these special collars. The reality that any other moggy in the area who's got a similar collar may be able to access your house, is the downside with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. An enhancement to this product is a RF cat flap and collar system which contains a unique identifier which can be programmed by the home owner.

The next step-up in feline entry security is to fit the type of cat flap that identifies your pet's microchip. The details of your cat's micro-chip are programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one cat). Whenever your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it will unlock and allow just your microchipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

The ability to lock it in position is important regardless of what cat flap you're purchasing. Most cat flaps sold these days feature a four way locking system. Which means that the cat flap can enable exit from your property only, allow admission into your premises only, be locked fully, or be set for two way exit and entry. This provides you with choices for all times of night and day, to have control over exactly how your cat flap operates. Based on yours and your cat's needs, there's even the option to perform different functions according to the time of day, with a number of the high end devices.

If you're pretty good at DIY, fitting your own cat flap should not be too difficult, if you've got a solid timber door on your Sutton Coldfield home. But, if you are looking to install it into a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you need to ask for outside help. These kinds of fittings require a professional installation from a reliable cat flap installer or carpenter with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN SUTTON COLDFIELD

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, immediately send them packing. It isn't possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Cutting into any type of double glazing will destroy its security and strength, as well as its thermal attributes. In actual fact, it makes your glazing unsafe and it should never be done.

A reputable Sutton Coldfield cat flap fitter will carefully measure up your current panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing firm. As an integral part of its structure this new glazed panel will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be fitted perfectly into. This is basically the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door, even though it might take a week or two to produce. After construction, your old glass can be removed, and the new adapted one put in. The fitting of your cat flap will then be carried out.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in most cases. You or your fitter will need to verify what the internal construction of you door actually is, since for added security some uPVC doors are manufactured with a steel lining. A one-piece panel allows for easier installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it might be more economical to exchange this panel for a single panel style.
