Cat Flap Fitter Watchet Somerset (TA23): To provide your cat with the independence and freedom that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Watchet property. Cats tend to get crabby and irritated when kept indoors, and not allowed to roam. Having a cat that's both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main positive aspects of giving your pet access to the outside world by way of a cat flap. If you choose to go down the cat flap route, your next decision will be what kind of cat flap would be best for you.
The most basic kind of cat flap, is just that. A piece of bendable material hung over a hole in a door to enable a cat to climb through, but keep the elements out. Although this might be acceptable in a shed or outhouse door, most Watchet cat owners would doubtless prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their home.

This simple model can be improved on a little with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, but it is still far from ideal since it enables other animals or cats to enter your house.
Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap. With these, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it won't be able to open the flap and access or leave your property, hence preventing some undesirable visitors. Again this is a pretty basic form of cat flap, given that any other moggy in the area who has a similar style of collar could perhaps access your home. An improvement to this product is an RF cat flap/collar system which has a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat owner.
Fitting a cat flap that can be triggered by your pet's own micro-chip, is the next level in access devices for felines. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to give exclusive access. The flap is unfastened anytime your cat is in the vicinity, only permitting entry or exit to animals that have a microchip.

The ability to lock it in position is essential regardless of what cat flap you are purchasing. For extra flexibility, nearly all cat flaps feature a four way locking system nowadays. This makes it possible for your cat flap to enable only exit from your home, permit only entry into your property, be locked fully, or have two-way exit and entrance functionality. This offers you solutions for all times of day and night, to control precisely how your cat flap operates. Based on yours and your pet's requirements, there is even the option to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with a few of the more expensive models.
If you have a wooden door in your property in Watchet, putting in you own cat flap should not be that hard. However, if it is going to be installed into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt it yourself. These situations require the skills and expertise of a competent cat flap fitter or odd job man, who'll have all the knowledge and tools for this sort of installation.
INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN WATCHET
Double Glazing Installations - If you happen to hire someone who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to install your new cat flap, stop them right away and ask them to leave. New cat flaps can not be mounted into pre-existing double glazed window or door panels. Making holes in the double glazing damages not just the strength and security of the panel, but it compromises the insulating attributes too. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be attempted under any circumstances.
A reliable Watchet cat flap installer will carefully measure up your current panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing company. As a part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This is the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, although it can take a couple of weeks to manufacture. Once you've obtained your new pane of glass, the old one can be removed and the new one installed. It will now be possible to install and set up your new cat flap.
External Wooden Doors - Solid wooden door panels are, as I mentioned above, the simplest alternatives for cat flap installation in Watchet. If you are a bit unsure of making an opening in your door, you may be better off contacting a professional carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This kind of project won't be all that expensive and is really worth doing correctly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional provides you with that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. However, certain uPVC doors are lined with steel for added security, which can cause some problems. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the best for cat flap installation, so if yours has got a slatted type door panel, it may be easier to swap this for a single panel.
Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to cut a hole in your doors, for security or aesthetic reasons, you could opt for a cat flap to be installed on an exterior wall. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a little more equipment and skill to install, so it is definitely better left to a specialist. You could pick out a straight-through tunnel design, or perhaps a right angle model which allows access through a pillar. This installation involves a square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so that your furry friend can get out of and into your house whenever it wants.
Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Watchet - If you already have a cat flat, but it is either damaged or not working correctly, the existing hole in your wall, window or door can be used for a replacement so long as the new flap is of an equivalent size. A specialist Watchet cat flap fitter will be happy to remove your old device and replace it with a fresh cat flap without causing any damage to the window, door or wall on which it is mounted.
If the new cat flap is going to be installed in a pre cut hole in a double glazing panel, you must make sure that the glass has been cut and installed in the right way. If it becomes obvious that this is not the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass unit must be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Watchet
Essential for the comfort and safety of outdoor and indoor cats, cat flap weatherproofing must not be overlooked. Preventing draughts, wind and rain from seeping into the house, a properly weatherproofed cat flap ensures a warm and dry environment for both the feline and the occupants. Seeking cat flaps with high-quality insulating materials and seals guarantees a tight barrier against the weather. Another measure to protect the entrance from harsh climatic conditions is the installation of a weatherproof tunnel extension. Regular maintenance, such as checking seals for damage, will ensure the cat flap remains effective in providing a weather-protected and cozy space for your cat. (13579)
