Cat Flap Fitter West Kirby

Cat Flap Fitter West Kirby Merseyside (CH48): A great way to improve your cat's independence and enrich it's overally quality of life is to install a cat flap on an external door or wall of your house in West Kirby. Cats are inclined to get irritated and grumpy when kept inside, and not allowed to roam free. When allowed instant access to the outside world with a cat flap, your cat has a better chance of staying healthy and well. However, what style of cat flap is better in your case?

The most basic type of cat flap, is merely that. A bit of bendable material hung over a hole in a door to allow a cat to climb through, but keep the elements out. Naturally, this is extremely basic, and will not be good enough for most cat owners in West Kirby, who would no doubt favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their house, although it could be appropriate for a shed or outhouse door.

This simple model can be improved on slightly with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, however it's still a long way off being ideal because it allows other cats or creatures to get into your property.

The next step up from the magnetic strip model are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This requires your cat to have a collar that has either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased inside it. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will be unable to trigger the flap and leave or get into your home, therefore keeping out some unwelcome visitors. The reality that any other cat in the area that's got a similar collar can easily get into your house, is the downside with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. An upgrade to this equipment is an RF cat flap and collar system which offers a unique identifier that can be programmed by the householder.

Picking a cat flap which can be operated by your cat's own microchip, is the next level in entry security for felines in West Kirby. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. Whenever your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to exit or enter.

Being able to lock it in place is important no matter which cat flap you are buying. For extra security, the majority of cat flaps feature a 4-way locking mechanism these days. This makes it possible for your cat flap to be fully locked, enable admittance into your property only, permit only exit from your home, or have two way exit and entry functionality. This provides total control over how your cat flap operates both during the day and throughout the night. In line with yours and your pet's needs, there's even the possibility to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, with several of the high end devices.

If you are fairly good at do-it-yourself, fitting your own cat flap should not be too much of a challenge, if you have a solid wood door on your West Kirby home. On no account should you try and install a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door. These sorts of fixtures call for a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap installer or odd job man with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN WEST KIRBY

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to employ somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to install your new cat flap, stop them at once and ask them to leave. A new cat flap can't be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any type of double glazed unit will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will damage its security, thermal insulation properties and strength. The double glazing will be made unsafe, and it shouldn't be attempted in any circumstances.

An experienced cat flap fitter will take the measurements of the existing double glazing unit and have a local West Kirby glazing company make a new purpose made pane. So that your cat flap can be nicely installed into it, this new double glazed pane will be provided with a hole pre-cut as a part of its construction. This can take a couple of weeks to produce, however it is really the only way to install a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door. Once you've taken possession of your new adapted glass pane, the old one can be removed and the new panel installed. The cat flap will then be fitted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The least complicated alternative for new cat flap installations in West Kirby, as was mentioned previously, are solid wooden door panels. If you are a little unsure of creating a hole in your front door, you may be better off getting in touch with an expert cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This kind of project won't be too expensive and is worthwhile doing correctly, if having your cat flap professionally installed offers you that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite feasible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. It is necessary to know the internal construction, because some door panels are steel lined for further security. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - It's also a possibility to have a cat flap fitted on an external wall of your home in West Kirby, if you do not wish to cut holes in your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires a bit more expertise and equipment to install, therefore it's definitely better left to a specialist. You could opt for a straight-through tunnel design, or even a right angled version that permits access through a pillar. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted into a square hole cut out of your specified wall. A cat flap of your choice is then mounted on either end to enable your feline friend to come and go as it pleases.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in West Kirby - If your door, window or wall already has a cat flap fitted, but it is not working properly, or is damaged, it's quite possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. You local cat flap fitter will remove the old cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding window, wall or door, and install a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

If the replacement cat flap is to be fitted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must double check that the glass has been cut and installed accurately. If it is found this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass pane will have to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues.
