Cat Flap Fitter Waltham Abbey

Cat Flap Fitter Waltham Abbey Essex (EN9): To provide your cat with the independence and freedom that it needs to live a happy life, you could fit a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Waltham Abbey house. Cats which are kept inside, as with humans, can show signs of frustration. Having a cat that's both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main benefits of allowing your pet easy access to outside world by means of a cat flap. So, you're sold on the idea, but exactly what is best form of cat flap for your precious pet?

A cat flap at its most basic is just that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible piece of material hung over it, to provide protection from the elements, but let the cat pass through. Even though this may be appropriate for a shed door or fence panel, the vast majority of cat owners in Waltham Abbey would favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their property.

Because this option permits other cats or animals to enter your home, it isn't at all ideal, although it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar fitted with an RF chip, IR or magnet. What this means is that any animal that doesn't have a special collar cannot access or leave your home. Again this is a relatively basic type of cat flap, given that any other cat in the area who's got a similar collar can still gain access to your home. An improvement to this device is an RF cat flap/collar system which includes a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat owner. An added layer of security and control is achieved, guaranteeing that only your purrfect companion gets access.

Installing a cat flap which can be triggered by your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in entry security for felines. The number of your cat's micro-chip is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one pet). Exit and entry are only possible for microchipped pets, and the flap will be unfastened whenever you cat is nearby.

Regardless which cat flap you purchase, it must have the ability to be locked in position. Most cat flaps sold these days have a 4-way locking system. Which means that the cat flap can allow exit only, permit admittance into your premises only, be locked fully, or be set for 2-way entry and exit. This provides you with choices for all times of day and night, to have control over precisely how your cat flap works. The wherewithal to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your cat's requirements is also a possibility with some of the more expensive brands of cat flap.

If you've got a wood door in your property in Waltham Abbey, installing you own cat flap should not be all that complicated. Not in any circumstances should you try and install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. This type of installation calls for the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and talented odd job men who'll be delighted to accept such work.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN WALTHAM ABBEY

Double Glazing Installations - If you employ somebody who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your new cat flap, stop them immediately and request that they leave. A new cat flap can not be mounted into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Drilling holes in any type of double glazing will destroy its strength and security, along with its thermal properties. Your double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should not be attempted under any circumstances.

A specialist cat flap installer will measure the existing double glazed unit and have a local glazing firm make a new one. As a part of its construction this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be fitted nicely into. This is the only way to install a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door, although it might take a week or two to produce. After fabrication, the old glass unit can be taken out, and the new one put in its place. The fitting of the cat flap will then be undertaken.

External Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, solid wooden door panels are the least complicated option when it comes to cat flap installation on your property in Waltham Abbey. If you're uncomfortable with making a hole in your back or front door, it's probably a good idea to call a professional to do the job for you. This type of undertaking won't be too costly and is worthwhile doing properly, if having your cat flap professionally installed offers you that additional peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite feasible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. You'll have to verify what the internal structure of you door is, because for added security some uPVC door panels are made with a reinforced steel lining. The simplest kind of installation is in doors with a single panel, therefore if you have 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 do not wish to have a hole cut into your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons, you can get a cat flap installed on an outside wall. A wall cat flap entrance requires a bit more expertise and equipment to fit, so it is certainly better left to an expert. You will find there are a couple of possibilities for this kind of installation, including a straightforward design, or a right angular (through pillar) style. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted into a square shaped hole cut out of your specified wall. A cat flap can then be mounted on each side of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Waltham Abbey - If you've already got a cat flap installed on a door, window or wall, but it is broken or not working correctly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for installing a new one. A professional Waltham Abbey cat flap installer will be happy to take out your old unit and swap it for a new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the window, wall or door on which it is mounted.

Before installing the new cat flap in double glazing which has been previously pre-cut, making certain that the current glass has been fabricated, cut and installed accurately is crucial. If the previous installation was a bodge up, the glass must be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety issues with the new flap.
