Cat Flap Fitter Whitehill

Cat Flap Fitter Whitehill Hampshire (GU35): To provide your cat with the independence it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Whitehill property. Much like humans, when kept indoors for long periods of time, cats will frequently show signs of frustration and anxiety. Giving your cat accessibility to outside world by means of a cat flap can also help keep them physically and mentally fit. However, what form of cat flap is best for your circumstances?

The most rudimentry form of cat flap is basically that. A piece of bendable material placed over a hole in a door to allow a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. Although this may be acceptable for an outhouse or shed door, the majority of cat owners in Whitehill would no doubt prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property.

This simple design can be slightly improved upon with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, however it is still a long way from being perfect since it allows other cats or animals to get into your house.

A step up from the magnetic strip model are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This requires your cat to use a collar which has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased inside it. Therefore any animal that hasn't got a special collar cannot leave or get into your house. Once again this is a relatively basic kind of cat flap, since any other cat in the neighbourhood that's got a similar model of collar could possible gain access to your house. Even these cat flaps can be improved to some extent with an RF cat flap/collar system having an owner programmed unique identifier.

The next stage in feline access security is to use the type of cat flap which recognises your pet's own microchip. The micro-chip details are entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got several cats). Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped pets, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is nearby.

The ability to lock it in place is essential no matter which cat flap you are buying. Currently, almost all cat flaps on the market boast a 4-way locking system for added security. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, permit access into your home only, enable only exit from your home, or have two-way exit and entrance functionality. This offers complete control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night. Based on your pet's and your needs, there's even the possibility to perform particular functions according to the time of day, with a few of the high end models.

If you're fairly decent at DIY, installing your own cat flap shouldn't be too much of a challenge, as long as you have a solid timber door on your Whitehill home. But, if you are intending to install it into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you need to seek outside assistance. This sort of installation will require the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and skilled carpenters who will be delighted to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN WHITEHILL

Double Glazing Installations - If you employ somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your cat flap, stop them right away and request that they leave. New cat flaps can not be mounted into existing double glazed window or door panels. Making a hole in the double glazing damages not just the security and strength of the panel, but it removes the thermal insulation attributes as well. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsound.

A professional cat flap fitter will take the measurements of the existing double glazing pane and have a local glazing company knock up a new purpose made one. So that your cat flap can be neatly fitted into it, this new glazed unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its structure. This is really the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, even though it might take two weeks or so to produce. After construction, your old glass pane can be taken out, and the new one put in its place. The cat flap can then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, wooden door panels are the easiest alternative when it comes to installing a new cat flap on your home in Whitehill. If you're a bit unsure of making a hole in your back or front door, you may be better off bringing in an expert carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This will provide you with the peace of mind that you are going to end up with a professionally fitted cat friendly flap, and that the job has been undertaken correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be installed into uPVC doors in most instances. It pays to know the interior construction, as some uPVC door panels have a steel lining for extra security. The simplest type of installation is in doors with a single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be cheaper and easier overall to exchange the slatted panel for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - It's also possible to have a cat flap fitted on an outside wall of your property in Whitehill, if you do not want to cut chunks out of your doors, for security or aesthetic reasons. This type of installation is undoubtedly better left to a professional, since it calls for much more equipment and skill to accomplish. Most cat flap installations in walls involve a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angled access through a pillar can also be achieved. This installation entails a square hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted. A cat flap of your choice is then mounted on either end to allow your furry friend to exit and enter as it pleases.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Whitehill - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either broken or not working properly, the current hole in your window, wall or door can be fitted with a replacement providing the new cat flap is of an equivalent size. A reputable cat flap installer in Whitehill will efficiently remove the old,unwanted cat flap, and mount a brand new one as a replacement without harming the surrounding door, wall or window.

Before fitting a new flap in a double glazing panel that has been previously pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been fabricated, cut and installed accurately is essential. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the pane will have to be removed and exchanged to avoid any security and safety problems with the new cat flap.
