Cat Flap Fitter Wrexham Wales (LL1): The installation of a cat flap to an external door or wall in your property in Wrexham, will allow it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own bit of independence and freedom. Cats kept inside, just like humans, can show signs of irritation. Having a cat that's both physically and mentally fit, is just one of the benefits of giving your cat access to the world outside by means of a cat flap. If you choose 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 just that. A hole is cut in an external door and a flexible material is placed over the gap to offer a bit of some protection from the elements. The majority of Wrexham cat owners would doubtless prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their home, although this could be acceptable for a fence panel or outhouse door.
This standard model can be improved on slightly with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position, but it is still far from perfect because it allows other cats or animals a way to get into your home.
Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip version. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. Therefore any animal that does not have one of these special collars can't get into or leave your property. Again this is a pretty simple form of cat flap, given that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who has a similar collar could perchance gain access to your property. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier. An additional layer of security and control is achieved, guaranteeing that only your purrfect companion gets access.
The kind of cat flap which is can be operated by your cat's micro-chip, is the next stage in feline access security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. When your cat comes into close vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and permit only your microchipped pets to use the exit/entrance.
The ability to lock it in place is vital regardless of what cat flap you're purchasing. The majority of cat flaps sold nowadays feature a 4-way locking system. This means that the cat flap can permit entry into your home only, allow only exit from your home, be locked fully, or be set for two-way entry and exit. This provides full control over how your cat flap operates both throughout the day and during the night. Some of the high end cat flaps can be programmed to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, in keeping with yours and your cat's requirements.
If you're fairly decent at do-it-yourself, putting in your own cat flap should not be too difficult, if you have a wooden door on your home in Wrexham. Not in any circumstances should you attempt to install a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These types of fittings call for a professional installation from a dependable cat flap fitter or carpenter with the appropriate equipment and skills.
INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN WREXHAM
Double Glazing Installations - If you hire someone who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your new cat flap, stop them at once and ask them to leave. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazed door panel or window pane. Any type of double glazing will be damaged by cutting into it, and will diminish its thermal insulation properties, strength and security. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be attempted under any circumstances whatsoever.
A trustworthy Wrexham cat flap fitter will diligently get the dimensions of your existing panel and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing firm. As an integral part of its construction this new glazed pane will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be installed nicely into. This is really the only way to install a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, even though it can take a couple of weeks to produce. After construction, the old glass pane will be removed, and the new modified one put in its place. The installing of your cat flap can then be carried out.
Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid timber door panels are, as mentioned above, the easiest alternatives for new cat flap installation in Wrexham. If you're somewhat unsure about creating a hole in your front or back door, you may be better off contacting a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This should give you the reassurance that you'll finish up with an expertly fitted cat flap, and that the project has been completed in the right and proper way.
uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in many cases. However, some uPVC door panels are steel lined for added security, which can cause some problems. The simplest type of cat flap installation is in doors with a single panel, subsequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be easier and cheaper overall to replace the slatted pane with a one-piece panel.
Wall Installation - If, for either safety or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could elect to install a cat flap into an outside wall of your house in Wrexham. This sort of installation is undoubtedly best left to an expert, since it calls for considerably more equipment and skill to accomplish. You could go with a straight through tunnel style, or even a right angled version that permits access through a pillar. This installation calls for a neat square shaped hole being made through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted. Both ends of the hole are then installed with an appropriate cat flap so your furry pal can exit and enter the house whenever it wants.
Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Wrexham - If your wall, door or window is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working, or is damaged, it is quite possible to fit a replacement into the existing cavity. A professional Wrexham cat flap fitter will gladly take off your old unit and swap it for a new cat flap without causing any damage to the window, door or wall on which it's secured.
When your installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it is important to make sure that this was previously done accurately, before attaching the new flap. If the previous installation was bodged, the glass must be taken out and exchanged to avoid any security and safety problems with the new cat flap.
