Cat Flap Fitter Aberystwyth

Cat Flap Fitter Aberystwyth Wales (SY23): Fitting a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Aberystwyth house provides your cat with the independence it needs to live a happy life. Cats are inclined to get irritated and grumpy when kept indoors, and not allowed to roam. Having easy access to outside world via a cat flap will help your cat to stay fit, both mentally and physically. If this sounds like a good idea to you, exactly what style of cat flap should you put in?

The most basic style of cat flap, is merely that. A sheet of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to go through, but keep out the elements. The majority of Aberystwyth cat owners would favour something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their home, although this may be acceptable for a shed or outhouse door.

This standard model can be improved on a little with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place, however it is still a long way off being ideal because it enables other creatures or cats to get into your home.

A step up from the magnetic strip style are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar boasting an IR, RF chip or magnet. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will be unable to trigger the flap and access or leave your property, thus preventing some unwanted visitors. The downside here is that any other cat in the Aberystwyth area who has a similar collar can access your home when using this type of cat flap. An upgrade to this product is an RF cat flap/collar system which includes a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat owner. An added layer of security and control is achieved, guaranteeing that only your feline friend gets access.

Picking a cat flap which can be operated by your cat's micro-chip, is the next step-up in entry devices for felines in Aberystwyth. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to give exclusive access. Exit and entry are only possible for microchipped pets, and the flap is unfastened when you cat is in the vicinity.

The ability to lock it in position is vital regardless which cat flap you're buying. The majority of cat flaps sold today feature a four way locking system. This allows your cat flap to permit access into your premises only, be locked fully, permit exit only, or have two way exit and entrance functionality. This offers total control over how your cat flap works both throughout the day and during the night. Some of the more advanced models can be programmed to perform particular functions according to the time of day, based on yours and your cat's needs.

Putting in a cat flap by yourself can be fairly simple if you have a solid wood door, and respectable do-it-yourself abilities. But, if you're hoping to install it in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you need to seek outside assistance. These sorts of fittings require a professional installation by a trustworthy cat flap fitter or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN ABERYSTWYTH

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, send them on their way immediately. A new cat flap can not be fitted into an existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Drilling or cutting into any sort of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, as well as its thermal insulation attributes. It should under no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsound.

A professional cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current double glazing pane and have a glazing company knock up a new one. So that your cat flap can be perfectly installed into it, this new double glazing unit will be provided with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure. You may have to wait a week or so for this pane to be produced, however if you need a cat flap installed into an existing patio or double glazed door, this is basically the only way to accomplish it. Once your new panel of glass shows up, the fitter will take out the old one, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. The installation of your cat flap will then be completed.

External Wooden Doors - The simplest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Aberystwyth, as was stated earlier, are wooden doors. It is usually better to bring in a professional handyman or cat flap fitter, if you're in any way unsure about creating a big hole in your front or back door. An undertaking like this is fairly inexpensive and will give you peace of mind that your cat will be climbing through a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in many cases. You will need to find out what the interior structure of you door actually is, because for added security some uPVC door panels are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. The simplest kind of installation is in doors with a single panel, therefore 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 - If, for aesthetic or security reasons, you do not want to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could elect to install a cat flap in an external wall of your home. This kind of installment is undoubtedly better left to a professional, since it calls for considerably more equipment and skill to execute. You could go with a straightforward tunnel style, or maybe a right angled version which allows access via a pillar. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole neatly cut out of your wall. Both ends of the hole are then installed with a cat flap so that your feline friend can get out of and into your home whenever it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Aberystwyth - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working correctly, the existing hole in your door, wall or window can still be used so long as the new flap is of an equivalent size. A decent cat flap fitter in Aberystwyth will be able to remove the old cat flap, and mount a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the surrounding door, wall or window.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it is essential to make sure that this was previously done accurately, before attaching the new flap. The glass pane will need to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues, if it becomes obvious that this isn't the case and corners were cut during the earlier installation.
