Cat Flap Fitter Tidworth

Cat Flap Fitter Tidworth Wiltshire (SP9): Installing a cat flap doesn't only save you the trouble of opening the door every time your cat wants to stroll out or in, it also gives your cat extra independence and improves it's all round quality of life. Much like humans, when kept inside, cats will often show signs of frustration and unease. When granted instant access to the world outside with a cat flap, your pet has a far better chance of staying healthy and strong. Of course, that's not the whole story, since there are numerous sorts of cat flap, and deciding which one is best for you and your cat isn't always simple.

The most straightforward type of cat flap, is simply that. A bit of flexible material fixed over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. Of course, this is really basic, and will not be sufficient for most cat owners in Tidworth, who would doubtless prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their house, although it may be appropriate for a garden fence panel or shed door.

Since this solution will allow other creatures or cats to enter your home, it is not at all ideal, though it can be improved on to some degree by keeping the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.

Magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap, are the next step up from the basic magnetic strip version. This requires that your cat wears a collar that has either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased in it. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will not be able to trigger the flap and access or leave your property, hence avoiding some unwanted visitors. The downside is that any other moggy in the Tidworth area who's got a similar collar might be able to gain access to your property when using this type of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of this equipment as they can be programmed by the owner of the cat to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

The next level in feline entrance security is to install the kind of cat flap that recognises your pet's own microchip. The number of your cat's microchip is entered into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you have several cats). The flap will be unlocked when your cat is nearby, only allowing access to animals that have a micro-chip.

When you're purchasing a cat flap, you must make sure it's of a type that can be locked. These days, most cat flaps available on the market feature a four way locking system for added security. Which means that the cat flap can be fully locked, enable admission into your property only, permit exit from your property only, or be set for two way exit and entry. This provides you with a number of alternatives on precisely how your cat flap works any time of the day and night time. The facility to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, and in line with yours and your cat's requirements is also an option with some of the high end brands of cat flap.

Installing a cat flap by yourself can be quite straightforward if you've got a solid timber door, and reasonable do-it-yourself skills. Not in any circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. These situations call for the skills and expertise of a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, who is certain to have have the tools and knowledge for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN TIDWORTH

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to employ someone who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your cat flap, stop them right away and ask them to leave. New cat flaps can't be installed into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Any kind of double glazing will be ruined by cutting or drilling into it, and will diminish its thermal insulation attributes, security and strength. In fact, it renders the glazing unsound and it should never be attempted.

A trustworthy Tidworth cat flap fitter will diligently take the precise measurements of your existing pane and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing firm. So your cat flap can be snugly fitted into it, this new double glazing unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as a part of its structure. This can take a week or so to produce, but it's the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. Once your new glass panel shows up, the fitter will take out the old unit, and replace it with the new "cat flap ready" one. It will now be possible to install your new cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, solid wooden doors are the least complicated alternative with regards to cat flap installation on your home in Tidworth. If you're a bit unsure of cutting an opening in your back or front door, you might be happier hiring a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This kind of undertaking won't be too expensive and is worth doing correctly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional provides you with that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly feasible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. It pays to know the internal construction, as some door panels are lined with steel for further security. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted style door panel, it might be advisable to replace this with a single pane.

Wall Installation - If, for either safety or aesthetic reasons, you don't want to have a chunk cut out of one of your doors, you could choose to install your cat flap in an external wall of your house. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires a little more equipment and expertise to fit, so it is certainly best left to a specialist. Almost all wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnel style, but right angled access through a pillar is also a possibility. With this type of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole neatly cut out of your selected wall. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on both ends to enable your feline friend to come in and out as it pleases.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Tidworth - If you already have a cat flat, but it is either broken or not functioning properly, the current hole in your window, wall or door can still be used providing that the new cat flap is of a comparable size. A trustworthy cat flap installer in Tidworth will be capable of removing the unwanted cat flap, and fix a new one as a replacement without damaging the window, wall or door.

If the substitute cat flap is being fitted in a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must make certain that the existing glass has been made and installed accurately. If it's discovered that the previous installation was a bodge job, the pane will have to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues with the new flap.
