Cat Flap Fitter Thornton Cleveleys

Cat Flap Fitter Thornton Cleveleys Lancashire (FY5): To provide your cat with the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Thornton Cleveleys home. Cats are similar to people in a lot of ways, and will sometimes start to show signs of frustration and irritability if kept inside for significant periods of time without a break. Allowing your cat access to the world outside via a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. So, you think it's a great idea, but what is best form of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The simplest style of cat flap is essentially that. A bit of bendable material fixed over a hole in a door to permit a cat to climb through, but keep out the elements. Of course, this is very basic, and won't be sufficient for most cat owners in Thornton Cleveleys, who would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their home, although it might be okay for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.

This simple design is still a long way from being perfect because it allows other cats or animals a means by which to enter into your home, however it can be improved on slightly with the addition of magnetic strips to hold the flap in place.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are a significant step up from the magnetic strip version. This requires that your cat wears a collar that has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased within it. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your house unless it is fitted with this special collar. Once again this is a pretty simple type of cat flap, as any other moggy in the Thornton Cleveleys area that has a similar style of collar may be able to access your house. An upgrade to this product is a RF cat flap/collar system which provides a unique identifier which can be programmed by the householder.

Installing a cat flap that can be operated by your pet's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in entrance security for felines. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you have several cats), to provide exclusive access. Exit and entry are only possible for microchipped pets, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is in the vicinity.

When you are buying a cat flap, you must make sure that it's of a design that can be locked into position. These days, nearly all cat flaps on the market feature a 4-way locking system for added flexibility. Which means that it has the capability to be locked fully, allow exit only, permit access into your home only, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This gives complete control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. In keeping with your pet's and your requirements, there's even the possibility to perform particular functions according to the time of day, with a number of the high end devices.

Fitting a cat flap by yourself can be pretty easy if you have a solid wood door, and reasonable DIY abilities. However, if it is going to be installed into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should on no account even attempt to tackle it by yourself. Such situations call for the skills and expertise of a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter, who is sure to have have all the knowledge and tools for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN THORNTON CLEVELEYS

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap is going to be installed in a double glazed panel, and your hired "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and show them the gate. A new cat flap cannot be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any kind of double glazed unit will be ruined by cutting or drilling into it, and will damage its thermal insulation attributes, strength and security. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsafe.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazing pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your local Thornton Cleveleys cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current pane and put in an order for a brand new one. As an integral part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be fitted perfectly into. You may have to wait a week or so for this to be produced, but if you want a cat flap installed into an existing patio or double glazed door, this is basically the only way to do it. When your new glass pane is delivered, the installer will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" one. Your cat flap will then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As stated earlier, wood doors are the simplest alternative with regards to cat flap installation on your house in Thornton Cleveleys. If you're a little uncomfortable with creating an opening in your door, you might be better off bringing in an expert cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. A project of this sort should not be expensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your cat will be climbing through an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be sometimes be suitable for a cat flap. Having said that, some uPVC door panels are steel lined for added security, which might cause problems. The simplest kind of cat flap installation is in doors having one single panel, subsequently if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be easier and cheaper overall to replace the slatted pane with a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - It is also possible to have a cat flap installed into an external wall of your home in Thornton Cleveleys, if you do not want to cut holes in your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons. This form of installation is definitely better left to a specialist, as it calls for considerably more skill and equipment to execute. You will find there are several possibilities for this installation, including a straight through tunnel design, or a right angular (through pillar) adaption. With this type of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly cut out of your specified wall. Each end of the hole is then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so your furry friend can get out of and into your house whenever it wants.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Thornton Cleveleys - If you already have a cat flap fitted on your door, wall or window, but it's broken or not working correctly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, still be used for the installation of a new one. A reputable cat flap installer in Thornton Cleveleys will be capable of removing your old cat flap, and mount a brand new one in its place without damaging the surrounding door, wall or window.

Before attaching the new cat flap in a double glazing panel which has been pre-cut, making certain that the current glass has been cut and installed accurately is crucial. If it becomes obvious that this isn't the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the pane will have to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues.
