Cat Flap Fitter Alton

Cat Flap Fitter Alton Hampshire (GU34): To allow your cat the freedom and independence that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your Alton house. Cats are similar to humans in a lot of ways, and will sometimes start to show signs of frustration and irritability if kept inside for lengthy periods of time without a break. When granted quick access to the world outside with a cat flap, your pet has a far better chance of staying healthy and strong. If this sounds like a good idea to you, what style of cat flap should you opt for?

The most fundamental kind of cat flap, is just that. A hole is cut in a door and a bendable material is hung over the gap to offer a bit of protection from the elements. Naturally, this is really basic, and will not be adequate for most cat owners in Alton, who would prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their property, although it could be appropriate for a fence panel or shed door.

This basic model can be marginally improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, however it's still a long way off being perfect as it allows other cats or animals to enter into your house.

A step up from the magnetic strip design are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This requires that your cat wears a collar that has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased inside it. What this means is that any animal that does not have a special collar cannot leave or get into your house. The drawback is that any other cat in the Alton area who has a similar model of collar can get into your property with this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system offering an owner programmed unique identifier.

Picking a cat flap that can be triggered by your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in entrance gadgets for felines in Alton. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. Whenever your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it will unlock and allow only your microchipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

When you are buying a cat flap, you should ensure that it's of a design that can be locked into position. For extra flexibility, the majority of cat flaps have a four way locking system these days. This means that the cat flap can enable only entry into your premises, allow exit only, be fully locked, or be set for two way entry and exit. This will provide you with a range of solutions on exactly how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night time. In keeping with yours and your cat's needs, there's even the possibility to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, with several of the top-end devices.

Installing a cat flap on your own can be quite simple if you have a solid wood door on your Alton home, and decent do-it-yourself abilities. On no account should you try and fit a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door. These situations call for the expertise and skills of a competent cat flap fitter or carpenter, who'll have the knowledge and equipment for this type of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN ALTON

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to hire someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to install your cat flap, stop them without delay and ask them to leave. A new cat flap can not be mounted into an existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Making holes in the double glazing destroys not simply the strength and security of the panel, but it takes away the insulating properties as well. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders your double glazing unsound.

A professional cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your current double glazed pane and have a local Alton glazing firm knock up a new pane. As an integral part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be fitted neatly into. You might have to wait a week or so for this pane to be produced, but if you need a cat flap installed into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to do it. Once you have received your new modified pane of glass, the old unit can be taken out and the new one installed. It's now possible to install the cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - As previously mentioned, solid wooden doors are the simplest alternative when it comes to cat flap installation on your home in Alton. If you are nervous about cutting a hole in your back or front door, it's probably a good idea to contact a professional to undertake the project for you. An undertaking like this is comparatively inexpensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your pet will be climbing through an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly possible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You'll need to ascertain what the interior structure of you door is, because for added security some uPVC doors are manufactured with a steel lining. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the easiest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it might be advisable to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If you do not really wish to have a hole cut into your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you could always have a cat flap installed within an outside wall. A wall cat flap entrance requires considerably more skill and equipment to fit, so it's definitely best left to a specialist. Most wall cat flap installations are a basic straight tunnel style, but right angular access via a pillar is also possible. A square hole will have to be made through your wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. The cat flap you have chosen can then be mounted on both ends to enable your cat to enter and exit as it pleases.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Alton - If your door, window or wall already has a cat flap installed, but it is not working, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to mount a replacement over the current cavity. An experienced Alton cat flap installer will be happy to take out your old unit and replace it with a new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the window, door or wall on which it's mounted.

When your installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it will be essential to make sure that this was previously done in the right way, before attaching the new flap. The glass will need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues, if it's found this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
