Cat Flap Fitter Yeovil

Cat Flap Fitter Yeovil Somerset (BA20): Fitting a cat flap doesn't just save you the effort of opening the door every time your cat chooses to stroll out or in, it also affords your cat more independence and improves it's quality of life. Cats are just like humans in many ways, and will often start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept indoors for lengthy periods of time. Having access to the world outside with a cat flap will help your furry friend to keep fit, both physically and mentally. If this seems like a good option for you, exactly what style of cat flap should you fit?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is just that. A piece of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to pass through, but keep out the elements. While this may be appropriate for a garden fence panel or outhouse door, the majority of cat owners in Yeovil would prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home.

This basic design can be marginally improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, but it's still far from perfect since it enables other creatures or cats a way to get into your home.

A step up from the magnetic strip style are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. No animal will be able to leave or get into your house unless it is equipped with this special collar. The drawback here is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood who's got a similar model of collar can still access your property when using this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap and collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier.

Picking a cat flap that can be operated by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next level in entrance gadgets for felines. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have several cats), to provide exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be achieved by microchipped animals, and the flap is unfastened whenever you cat is in the vicinity.

Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you should ensure that it's of a design that can be locked into position. Currently, almost all cat flaps available on the market boast a four way locking system for added flexibility. This makes it possible for your cat flap to be fully locked, permit exit only, permit admission into your premises only, or have 2-way exit and entry capability. This gives you choices for all times of day and night, to have control over how your cat flap works. The wherewithal to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with your pet's and your requirements is also an option with some of the top-end models of cat flap.

Installing a cat flap yourself can be quite easy if you've got a solid timber door on your Yeovil house, and decent DIY capabilities. But, if you're looking to fit it in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you need to seek outside help. This type of installation calls for the attention of a professional, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and skilled handymen who are ready to accept such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN YEOVIL

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ somebody 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 is simply not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Making holes in the double glazing damages not just the security and strength of the panel, but it takes away the insulation attributes too. In actual fact, it renders the glazing unsound and it shouldn't ever be attempted.

A trustworthy Yeovil cat flap fitter will meticulously take the measurements of your existing panel and order a purpose made one from a local glazing firm. To ensure that the cat flap can be nicely installed into it, this new glazed unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its structure. This is the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, even though it might take a week or so to manufacture. Once your new glass panel arrives, the installer will remove the old one, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" one. The installing of the cat flap will then be undertaken.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber door panels are, as I stated previously, the simplest alternatives for cat flap installation in Yeovil. If you are nervous about making a hole in your front door, it's advisable to call on a specialist to undertake the project for you. An undertaking like this should not be expensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your kitty will have the use of an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite feasible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. Nonetheless, some uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for extra security, which might cause issues. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the best for cat flap installation, so if yours has got a slatted style door panel, it might be advisable to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or safety reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could opt to install a cat flap into an outside wall of your home. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a little more equipment and skill to install, therefore it is definitely best left to a specialist. You can opt for a straight-through tunnel design, or maybe a right angle model that enables access through a pillar. A square shaped hole will have to be made through your wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. Each end of the hole is then installed with an appropriate cat flap so that your cat can get out of and into your house whenever it desires.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Yeovil - If you've already got a cat flap installed on a wall, window or door, but it's damaged or not functioning correctly, the existing hole can hopefully still be used for installing a new one. A decent cat flap fitter in Yeovil will be able to remove the old cat flap, and mount a brand new one as a replacement without harming the surrounding door, window or wall.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it is necessary to confirm that this was previously done in the right way, before fitting the new cat flap. The glass panel will have to be taken out and exchanged to avoid any security and safety issues, if it's found this isn't the case and corners were cut during the earlier installation.
