Cat Flap Fitter Wednesbury

Cat Flap Fitter Wednesbury West Midlands (WS10): Installing a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Wednesbury home allows your cat the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats are similar to humans in a lot of ways, and will often start to show signs of frustration and anxiety if kept indoors for significant periods of time. When your beloved cat is granted instant access to the great outdoors by way of a cat flap, there's a much better chance of it staying both physically and mentally healthy. Obviously, that's not the end of the story, as there are several forms of cat flaps, and figuring out which design is best for you and your cat might not be so easy.

The most fundamental form of cat flap, is simply that. A hole is cut into an outside door and a flexible material is hung over the gap to offer a bit of protection from the elements. Whilst this may be appropriate in an outhouse or shed door, the majority of Wednesbury cat owners would no doubt favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home.

This basic model can be improved on a little with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, however it's still a long way off being ideal because it allows other cats or animals a means by which to enter your home.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar fitted with an IR, RF chip or magnet. No animal will be able to access or leave your house unless it is fitted with this special collar. Again this is a pretty simple form of cat flap, since any other cat in the area that has a similar style of collar can gain access to your home. An upgrade to this equipment is an RF cat flap and collar system which offers a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat's owner. Access is restricted to only your furry friend, resulting in an added layer of security and control.

A cat flap that is can be triggered by your pet's microchip, is the next step-up in feline entry security. The micro-chip details are programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got several cats). When your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it unlocks and allows solely your micro-chipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

No matter what cat flap you buy, it should have the ability to be locked in position. Most cat flaps sold currently feature a 4-way locking system. Which means it's got the capability to enable only entrance into your house, be locked fully, permit only exit from your home, or be put in two-way exit and entry mode. This offers total control over the functioning of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. The ability to carry out specific functions according to the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your cat's needs is also an option with some of the more expensive brands of cat flap.

If you've got a timber door on your house in Wednesbury, putting in you own cat flap shouldn't be too difficult. But, if you're planning to fit it into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you must seek outside help. These situations call for the skills and expertise of a specialist cat flap installer or odd job man, who will have all the equipment and knowledge for this sort of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN WEDNESBURY

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire somebody who tries to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your new cat flap, stop them at once and ask them to leave. New cat flaps can't be installed into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Cutting or drilling into any kind of double glazing will damage its security and strength, together with its thermal insulation attributes. The double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be done under any circumstances.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazing panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your chosen Wednesbury cat flap fitter will measure your current unit and order the new one. As a part of its structure this new double glazing panel will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be fitted perfectly into. This might take a week or so to produce, but it's really the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. Once you have acquired your new panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new one installed. It's now possible to install and set up your new cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - Solid timber doors are, as already mentioned, the simplest alternatives for cat flap installation in Wednesbury. It is usually wise to call on a competent cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you're in any way dubious about creating a big hole in your front or back door. A project of this type will not be expensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your cat will be climbing through an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in most instances. It pays to know the interior construction, since some uPVC doors are steel lined for extra security. The easiest kind of installation is in doors with one single panel, subsequently if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be cheaper and easier overall to replace the slats with a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for security or aesthetic reasons, you do not wish to have a chunk cut out of your door, you could opt to install your cat flap on an external wall of your property. A wall cat flap entrance calls for considerably more expertise and equipment to fit, so it's definitely best left to the pros. Almost all cat flap installations in walls involve a basic straight tunnelled style, however right angled access via a pillar can also be achieved. This installation involves a neat square hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so that your cat can get out of and into your home whenever it desires.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Wednesbury - If your window, wall or door is already fitted with a cat flap, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to fit a replacement into the existing hole. A good cat flap fitter in Wednesbury will efficiently remove your old cat flap, and mount a brand new one as a replacement without causing damage to the surrounding door, wall or window.

If the new cat flap is going to be fitted into a pre-cut hole in double glazing, you must make certain that the glass has been cut and installed correctly. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the panel will need to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety problems with the new flap.
