Cat Flap Fitter Worcester

Cat Flap Fitter Worcester Worcestershire (WR1): Fitting a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Worcester house gives your cat the independence and freedom it needs to live a happy life. Cats which are kept inside, much like humans, will often show signs of irritation. Allowing your furry friend access to the outside world with a cat flap can help to keep them physically and mentally fit. Naturally, that's not the whole story, because there are several types of cat flap, and determining what design is best for you and your cat isn't always simple.

The most rudimentry sort of cat flap is basically that. A piece of flexible material fixed over a hole in a door to allow a cat to go through, but keep the elements out. Even though this may be acceptable for a shed door or fence panel, the vast majority of Worcester cat owners would doubtless prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their home.

Since this option permits other animals or cats to enter your property, it is not at all recommended, although it can be improved on to some degree by holding the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar boasting a magnet, RF or IR chip. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it won't be able to trigger the flap and access or leave your property, therefore preventing some undesirable visitors. The point that any other cat in the neighbourhood who has a similar model of collar could perchance access your property, is the downside with this kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these devices as they can be programmed by the user to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet. An added layer of control and security is achieved, guaranteeing that only your purrfect companion gets access.

The next level in feline access security is to consider a model of cat flap which recognises your pet's own micro-chip. You need to enter the details of your cat's micro-chip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you've got more than one cat it will take multiple entries. Whenever your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and permit solely your micro-chipped pets to exit/enter.

Whenever you are buying a cat flap, you should ensure that it is of a type that can be locked. For extra flexibility, nearly all cat flaps feature a four way locking mechanism these days. This allows your cat flap to enable only exit from your home, enable admittance into your premises only, be locked fully, or have two-way exit and entry capability. This provides you with a number of options on how your cat flap functions at all times of the day and night. In line with yours and your pet's needs, there is even the option to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, with some of the more expensive models.

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

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN WORCESTER

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap has to be installed in a double glazed panel, and your hired "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and give them the boot. A new cat flap can not be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Cutting into any sort of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, together with its insulating attributes. Actually, it renders the glazing unsafe and it should not ever be attempted.

A specialist cat flap installer will take the measurements of the existing double glazed pane and have a local Worcester glazing company knock up a new purpose made pane. As part of its structure this new double glazing unit will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This might take one or two weeks to manufacture, however it is really the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door. Once your new glass panel shows up, the installer will take out the old unit, and swap it for the new "cat flap ready" pane. The installation of the cat flap will then be undertaken.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Wooden door panels are, as mentioned above, the simplest options for cat flap installation in Worcester.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in most cases. It is necessary to know the interior construction, as some uPVC doors incorporate a steel lining for extra security. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the simplest for cat flap installation, so if yours has got a slatted type panel, it may be better to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - If you do not really want to have a hole cut into your doors, whether for aesthetic or safety reasons, you could always have a cat flap installed on an exterior wall. This type of installation is certainly better left to a professional, because it calls for a lot more skill and equipment to accomplish. You could choose a straightforward tunnel style, or perhaps a right angled model that permits access through a pillar. This installation entails a neat square shaped hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted. A suitable cat flap is then installed on each end of the hole.
