Cat Flap Fitter Waddington

Cat Flap Fitter Waddington Lincolnshire (LN5): Installing a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Waddington house provides your cat with the freedom and independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats that are kept indoors, much like people, can show signs of frustration. Allowing your cat easy access to outside world via a cat flap can also help to keep them physically and mentally fit. Naturally, that isn't the end of the story, since there are several forms of cat flap, and deciding which one is best for you and your pet might not be so straightforward.

The most fundamental sort of cat flap, is simply that. A bit of bendable material fixed over a hole in a door to permit a cat to pass through, but keep out the elements. Obviously, this is really basic, and will not be sufficient for most cat owners in Waddington, who would doubtless prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their house, although it might be okay for a garden fence panel or shed door.

Because this solution allows other creatures or cats to enter your property, it isn't at all ideal, though it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar fitted with an RF chip, IR or magnet. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it won't be able to open the flap and access or leave your property, therefore keeping out some undesirable visitors. The drawback is that any other moggy in the area who's got a similar model of collar will be able to access your home when using this kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these products as they can be programmed by the owner of the cat to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet. Only your purrfect companion gets access, thus adding an extra layer of security and control.

A cat flap that is capable of identifying your pet's own microchip, is the next step-up in feline access security. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you've got more than one cat), to give exclusive access. The flap is unlocked anytime your cat is in the vicinity, only permitting entry or exit to pets that have a micro-chip.

Whichever cat flap you purchase, it must be capable of being locked in position. The majority of cat flaps sold nowadays boast a four way locking mechanism. This means that it's got the capability to permit only exit from your home, be fully locked, permit admittance into your premises only, or be put in two-way entry and exit mode. This will give you choices for all times of day and night, to have control over precisely how your cat flap operates. In keeping with your pet's and your requirements, there's even the possibility to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, with a few of the high end models.

Installing a cat flap by yourself can be fairly easy if you have a solid timber door on your Waddington home, and reasonable do-it-yourself skills. However, if it is going to be installed in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you should not even attempt it yourself. These situations call for the expertise and skills of an experienced cat flap installer or odd job man, who is sure to have have all the equipment and knowledge for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN WADDINGTON

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap is going to be fitted into a double glazed panel, and your appointed "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the job right away and show them the gate. A new cat flap can not be installed into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Any type of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will diminish its strength, insulating properties and security. The double glazing will be made unsound, and it shouldn't be attempted in any circumstances whatsoever.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazing panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Waddington cat flap fitter will measure your current pane and order the new one. This new glazed pane will be delivered with a pre-cut hole as part of its construction where the cat flap will be installed. This might take a week or so to manufacture, but it is really the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door. Once you've received your new modified glass panel, the old one can be taken out and the new unit fitted. The cat flap will then be installed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The most straightforward alternative for installing a new cat flap in Waddington, as was stated earlier in this article, are wooden doors. If you are uncomfortable with making a hole in your back or front door, it's a good move to call in a professional to undertake the project for you. This type of task will not be too expensive and is really worth doing correctly, if getting your cat flap expertly installed offers you that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally be installed into uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the internal construction, since some uPVC doors are steel lined for extra security. A one piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be more economical to exchange this panel for a single pane model.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to cut a hole in your doors, either for safety or aesthetic reasons, you could get a cat flap installed on an external wall. Calling for much more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installation is certainly best left to a specialist, if it's to be accomplished successfully. The majority of cat flap installations in walls are a simple straight tunnel style, but right angle access through a pillar is also an option. A neat square shaped hole will need to be made through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. The cat flap you have chosen is then mounted on either end to permit your cat to come and go as it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Waddington - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either damaged or not functioning properly, the existing hole in your window, wall or door can still be used providing the new cat flap is of a similar size. You local cat flap installer will take off the old cat flap, without damaging the wall, door or window, and fit a new flap in its place for your cat.

If the new cat flap is being mounted into a pre cut hole in a double glazing panel, you must check that the existing glass has been made, cut and installed in the right way. The glass will have to be removed and substituted to avoid any security and safety problems, if it is found this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
