Cat Flap Fitter Winterton Lincolnshire (DN15): To give your cat the independence and freedom that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Winterton house. Cats kept inside, much like humans, can show signs of irritation. When your beloved cat is permitted easy access to the great outdoors by means of a cat flap, there's a much better chance of it staying both physically and mentally healthy. If you opt to go with the cat flap option, your next decision will be what is the best type of cat flap.
The most basic form of cat flap, is merely that. A sheet of bendable material placed over a hole in a door to permit a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. Naturally, this is extremely basic, and will rarely sufficient for most Winterton cat owners, who would doubtless prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their home, although it might be appropriate for a fence panel or shed door.
Because this solution permits other animals or cats to enter your property, it's not at all ideal, although it can be enhanced to some degree by holding the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.
Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar featuring an RF chip, IR or magnet. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and access or leave your house, therefore avoiding some unwanted visitors. The point that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that's got a similar collar may be able to access your property, is the downside with this still fairly basic kind of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to a certain extent with an RF cat flap/collar system having an owner programmed unique identifier.
The next level in feline access security is to choose a model of cat flap that can be triggered by your pet's micro-chip. You have to enter the details of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you have several cats it will take multiple entries. The flap is unfastened whenever your cat is in close proximity, only allowing access to pets that are microchipped.
Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you should make certain that it is of a type that can be locked. These days, nearly all cat flaps on the market boast a 4-way locking system for added security. This means that the cat flap can be locked fully, allow admission into your home only, allow only exit from your home, or be set for two way entry and exit. This provides you with alternatives for all times of night and day, to have control over exactly how your cat flap works. Based on yours and your pet's needs, there's even the option to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, with some of the high end models.
If you've got a timber door in your property in Winterton, putting in a cat flap yourself should not be that hard. On no account should you try and install a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door. These situations call for the skills and expertise of a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter, who will have the tools and knowledge for this type of installation.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN WINTERTON
Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, immediately send them on their way. New cat flaps can not be mounted into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Drilling or cutting into any type of double glazing will damage its strength and security, along with its thermal attributes. In fact, it renders the glazing unsound and it should never be attempted.
A trustworthy Winterton cat flap fitter will carefully measure up your existing unit and order a tailor-made one from a local glazing supplier. As a part of its structure this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be fitted nicely into. You might have to wait a week or more for this to be manufactured, however if you want a cat flap installed into an existing double glazed or patio door, this is really the only way to do it. After construction, your old glass will be taken out, and the new adapted one put in. The installation of the cat flap can then be undertaken.
Exterior Wooden Doors - As stated earlier, wooden door panels are the easiest option in relation to cat flap installation on your property in Winterton. If you are a bit nervous about creating a sizeable hole in your door, you might be happier hiring a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This sort of task will not be too expensive and is worth doing correctly, if having your cat flap professionally installed provides you with that additional peace of mind.
uPVC Door Panels - It is quite feasible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. Nevertheless, certain uPVC door panels are lined with steel for additional security, which could cause problems. The easiest type of cat flap installation is in doors having one single panel, consequently if you have a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be cheaper and easier in the long run to replace the slatted panel with a one-piece panel.
Wall Installation - It is also feasible to have a cat flap installed into an external wall of your property in Winterton, if you don't wish to have a hole cut in one of your doors, whether for security or aesthetic reasons. Calling for far more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap installation is certainly better left to a professional, if it is to be accomplished successfully. Most wall cat flap installations are a basic straight tunnelled style, however right angle access via a pillar can also be achieved. A square shaped hole will have to be made through your wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. The cat flap you have chosen can then be mounted on both ends to permit your furry pal to exit and enter as it pleases.
Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Winterton - If you already have a cat flap installed on a wall, door or window, but it's broken or not working properly, the current hole can hopefully be re-used for installing a replacement. An experienced Winterton cat flap installer will be glad to take off 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 secured.
When your installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it will be essential to confirm that this was previously done accurately, before attaching the new cat flap. If you discover that this isn't the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass will have to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems.
