Cat Flap Fitter Tickhill South Yorkshire (DN11): The installation of a cat flap to an external door or wall in your house in Tickhill, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own little bit of independence. When constantly kept indoors, cats much like humans, will get grumpy and irritated. When allowed quick access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a far better chance of staying healthy and strong. So, you're sold on the idea, but exactly what is best style of cat flap for your beloved pet?
The most fundamental form of cat flap, is just that. A piece of bendable material hung over a hole in a door to allow a cat to pass through, but keep out the elements. While this might be appropriate for an outhouse or shed door, most cat owners in Tickhill would favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their property.

This simple model is still a long way off being perfect as it allows other cats or creatures to enter your home, however it can be improved upon with the addition of a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position.
The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. This involves your cat wearing a collar that's got either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased inside it. No animal is going to be able to leave or access your property unless it is equipped with one of these special collars. The downside is that any other moggy in the area that has a similar collar may be able to get into your property when using this kind of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to a certain extent with an RF cat flap/collar system containing an owner programmed unique identifier.
The next stage in feline access security is to fit a cat flap which recognises your cat's micro-chip. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you have several cats), to provide exclusive access. The flap will be unlocked whenever your cat is close-by, only allowing entry or exit to pets that are microchipped.

When you are buying a cat flap, you should make sure it's of a type that can be locked. For extra flexibility, almost all cat flaps have a four way locking system nowadays. This allows your cat flap to permit entry into your property only, be fully locked, permit exit only, or have two way entry and exit functionality. This will provide you with alternatives for all times of night and day, to control how your cat flap functions. The ability to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, and in line with yours and your cat's needs is also an option with some of the high end models of cat flap.
Fitting a cat flap on your own can be pretty easy if you've got a solid timber door, and reasonable do-it-yourself abilities. Although, if it needs to be fitted in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you should not even attempt to tackle it yourself. These kinds of fixtures call for a professional installation from a reputable cat flap installer or handyman with the appropriate skills and equipment.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN TICKHILL
Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap needs to be mounted on a double glazed panel, and your hired "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the work straight away and give them their marching orders. A new cat flap can't be mounted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Cutting or drilling into any kind of double glazing will damage its security and strength, together with its thermal insulation attributes. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsound.
A reliable Tickhill cat flap installer will meticulously get the dimensions of your existing panel and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing supplier. This new panel will have a hole cut out as an integral part of its construction where the cat flap can be fitted. You might have a one or two week waiting period for this to be manufactured, however if you want a cat flap fitted into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to accomplish it. Once you've obtained your new modified glass panel, the old one can be removed and the new one installed. The installing of your cat flap can then be undertaken.
External Wooden Doors - Solid timber doors are, as we stated previously, the easiest alternatives for new cat flap installation in Tickhill. If you're somewhat nervous about making an opening in your front door, you might be better off hiring an expert cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This type of project will not be expensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your pet can enjoy an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly feasible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You'll have to find out what the interior structure of you door is, since for additional security certain uPVC doors are manufactured with a steel lining. The simplest type of cat flap installation is in doors with a single panel, subsequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be easier and cheaper overall to replace the slatted panel with a one-piece panel.
Wall Installation - If you don't want to cut a hole in your doors, either for security or aesthetic reasons, you could always have a cat flap installed within an exterior wall. This kind of installation is undoubtedly better left to the pros, because it calls for a lot more equipment and skill to execute. You will find there are a couple of choices for this type of installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angle (through pillar) style. Installation calls for a square shaped hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted. An appropriate cat flap is then attached to each end of the hole.
Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Tickhill - If your door, window or wall already has a cat flap fitted, but it is not working, or is damaged, it's entirely possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A specialist Tickhill cat flap installer will gladly take off your old device and swap it for a brand new cat flap without causing any harm to the door, window or wall on which it is mounted.
If the new cat flap is being mounted in a pre-cut hole in double glazing, you must check that the glass has been made and installed in the right way. The glass pane will have to be removed and exchanged to avoid any safety and security issues, if it becomes obvious this isn't the case and corners were cut in the original installation.
