Cat Flap Fitter West Thurrock

Cat Flap Fitter West Thurrock Essex (RM20): A good way to give your cat more independence and improve it's quality of life is to install a cat flap on an exterior door or wall of your property in West Thurrock. Cats are like people in a lot of ways, and will likely show signs of frustration and anxiety if kept indoors for long periods of time. Having a cat that's both mentally and physically fit, is one of the main positive aspects of allowing your cat easy access to outside world by means of a cat flap. If this sounds like a good option for you, what type of cat flap should you opt for?

The most fundamental form of cat flap, is just that. A hole is cut in an outside door and a flexible material is placed over the gap to give some protection from the elements. The vast majority of cat owners in West Thurrock would prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their property, although this might be acceptable for a garden fence panel or shed door.

This standard design can be improved on a little with magnetic strips to keep the flap in position, however it is still a long way from being perfect as it allows other animals or cats a way to enter your home.

A step up from the magnetic strip version are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This involves your cat wearing a collar that has either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased inside it. No animal will be able to access or leave your property unless it's equipped with this special collar. The drawback is that any other moggy in the area that's got a similar collar can still gain access to your home when using this kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these products because they can be programmed by the householder to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat.

A cat flap that is capable of identifying your pet's own micro-chip, is the next level in feline entry security. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got more than one cat), to give exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be achieved by micro-chipped animals, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is in the vicinity.

Being able to lock it in position is important whichever cat flap you're purchasing. Currently, most cat flaps on the market feature a four way locking mechanism for extra flexibility. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit exit only, enable entrance into your home only, be fully locked, or have 2-way entry and exit functionality. This offers you options for all times of day and night, to have control over precisely how your cat flap functions. A few of the top-end cat flaps can be programmed to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, based on your cat's and your requirements.

If you're pretty decent at DIY, putting in your own cat flap should not be too much of a challenge, if you've got a solid timber door on your property in West Thurrock. However, if it has to be installed into a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you shouldn't even attempt to tackle it yourself. This sort of installation requires the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and talented odd job men who'll be delighted to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN WEST THURROCK

Double Glazing Installations - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, immediately send them packing. It is simply not possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Making a hole in your double glazing damages not merely the strength and security of the panel, but it takes away the insulation properties as well. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsound.

A reliable West Thurrock cat flap fitter will diligently take the measurements of your current unit and order a custom-made one from a local glazing firm. To ensure that the cat flap can be perfectly fitted into it, this new glazed unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as a part of its structure. This can take a week or so to produce, however it is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door. Once you have acquired your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new unit installed. It's now possible to install the cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Wooden doors are, as we already mentioned, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in West Thurrock. If you're nervous about cutting a hole in your door, it's a good move to call a specialist to complete the task for you. This kind of task won't be too expensive and is really worth doing correctly, if having your cat flap professionally installed offers you that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can in general be fitted into uPVC doors. Nevertheless, certain uPVC door panels have a steel lining for further security, which may cause some issues. The simplest kind of cat flap installation is in doors with one single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be cheaper and easier overall to replace the slats with a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If you do not want to cut holes in your doors, either for aesthetic or safety reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed on an outside wall. Requiring considerably more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installment is definitely best left to the pros, if it is to be executed successfully. There are several options for this type of installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angle (through pillar) style. With this type of installation a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly made into your specified wall. Both ends of the hole are then installed with a cat flap so that your feline friend can get out of and into the house whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in West Thurrock - If your wall, door or window already has a cat flap fitted, but it's stopped working, or is damaged, it's entirely possible to mount a replacement over the existing hole. A professional West Thurrock cat flap installer will be happy to remove your old device and replace it with a brand new cat flap without causing any harm to the door, wall or window on which it's secured.

If the replacement cat flap is being fitted in a pre cut hole in double glazing, you must make sure that the existing glass has been made and installed correctly. If the previous installation was a bodge job, the pane will have to be taken out and substituted to avoid any safety and security issues with the new cat flap.
