Cat Flap Fitter Witham

Cat Flap Fitter Witham Essex (CM8): The installation of a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your house in Witham, will enable it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own little bit of independence and freedom. Cats that are kept inside, much like humans, can often show signs of irritability. Having accessibility to outside world by way of a cat flap will help your pet to stay fit, both mentally and physically. But, what form of cat flap is most suitable in your case?

The simplest type of cat flap is essentially that. A hole in a door with a flexible sheet of material hung over it, to keep the weather out, but let the cat pass through it. Obviously, this is really basic, and won't be adequate for most cat owners in Witham, who would no doubt favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their home, although it might be suitable for a garden fence panel or shed door.

Because this solution can allow other animals or cats to enter your home, it isn't at all ideal, though it can be enhanced a bit by keeping the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.

A step up from the magnetic strip model are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar boasting a magnet, IR or RF chip. No animal is going to be able to leave or get into your home unless it's equipped with this special collar. Again this is a pretty basic form of cat flap, since any other cat in the area that has a similar model of collar could perhaps access your house. An enhancement to this product is a RF cat flap and collar system which offers a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat owner.

Choosing a cat flap which can identify your pet's micro-chip, is the next level in entrance security for felines. The details of your cat's micro-chip are entered into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you have more than one cat). Exit and entry are only possible for micro-chipped animals, and the flap is unfastened whenever you cat is in close proximity.

The ability to lock it in place is important no matter which cat flap you're buying. Currently, the majority of cat flaps on the market feature a four way locking mechanism for extra flexibility. Which means that it has the capability to allow exit only, allow entry into your premises only, be locked fully, or be put in 2-way exit and entry mode. This provides you with a range of solutions on exactly how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night time. Some of the high end models can be programmed to perform different functions according to the time of day, in line with your pet's and your needs.

Installing a cat flap yourself can be really simple if you have a solid wood door, and respectable DIY capabilities. Not in any circumstances should you attempt to fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. This kind of installation will require the attention of an expert, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and talented odd job men who will be happy to undertake such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN WITHAM

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap needs to be installed in a double glazed window or door panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop them immediately and show them the gate. It isn't possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Drilling holes in any type of double glazing will damage its security and strength, as well as its insulating properties. In actual fact, it makes your glazing unsafe and it should never be done.

A professional cat flap fitter will take the measurements of the existing double glazed unit and have a local Witham glazing firm make a new purpose made pane. So the cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new glazed panel will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its structure. You might have to wait a week or two for this to be made, however if it's necessary to have a cat flap fitted into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, this is basically the only way to accomplish it. When your new glass pane shows up, the fitter will take out the old unit, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" panel. The cat flap can then be mounted.

External Wooden Doors - The easiest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Witham, as was stated earlier in this article, are timber doors. If you're somewhat unsure about creating an opening in your door, you may be better off getting in touch with an experienced carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that you are going to wind up with an expertly fitted cat flap, and that the project has been completed in the right and proper way.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. Nonetheless, some uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for added security, which could cause problems. The easiest type of cat flap installation is in doors having one single panel, subsequently if you have a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it might be cheaper and easier overall to exchange the slats for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If you do not want to cut a hole in your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons, you could have a cat flap installed in an outside wall. Requiring considerably more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installment is definitely better left to a specialist, if it is to be accomplished correctly. Almost all cat flap installations in walls are a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angled access via a pillar is also a possibility. A square shaped hole will have to be cut through your chosen wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. Each end of the hole is then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so that your cat can get in and out of your home whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Witham - If your window, wall or door already has a cat flap fitted, but it's not working, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A specialist Witham cat flap installer will be glad to take out your old entry unit and replace it with a fresh cat flap without inflicting any damage on the door, window or wall on which it's mounted.

Before fitting the new cat flap in a double glazing panel which has been previously pre-cut, checking that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed correctly is crucial. The glass pane will need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues, if you discover that this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
