Cat Flap Fitter Blackpool

Cat Flap Fitter Blackpool Lancashire (FY1): A great way to give your cat more independence and improve it's quality of life is to install a cat flap on an exterior door or wall of your house in Blackpool. Cats that are kept indoors, just like humans, will show signs of frustration. When your beloved cat is permitted easy access to the outside world via a cat flap, there's a much better chance of it staying both physically and mentally fit. So, you think it's a good idea, but what is perfect sort of cat flap for your precious pet?

The most rudimentry sort of cat flap is essentially that. A hole is cut in an external door and a bendable material is fixed over it to give a bit of some protection from the weather. Naturally, this is really basic, and won't be adequate for most cat owners in Blackpool, who would doubtless favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their house, although it may be acceptable for a fence panel or outhouse door.

This simple model is still far from perfect since it allows other cats or creatures a way to enter into your property, nonetheless it can be improved on to some degree by adding a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

The next step up from the magnetic strip style are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. In this case, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be sewn into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is equipped with one of these special collars, it will be unable to open the flap and leave or access your home, thus preventing some unwanted visitors. The reality that any other moggy in the Blackpool area that has a similar style of collar will be able to access your home, is the downside with this sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of this equipment because they can be programmed by the cat's owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your cat. Providing an additional layer of security and control, this makes certain that only your furry companion gets access.

The type of cat flap which is capable of identifying your pet's own microchip, is the next level in Blackpool feline access security. The details of your cat's microchip are entered into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you have several cats). Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped pets, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is in close proximity.

Regardless which cat flap you purchase, it must have the ability to be locked in position. For added flexibility, the majority of cat flaps have a 4-way locking mechanism nowadays. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, enable entrance into your house only, permit exit from your house only, or have two way exit and entrance capability. This offers you solutions for all times of night and day, to control precisely how your cat flap functions. The ability to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on yours and your cat's needs is also a possibility with some of the more advanced brands of cat flap.

If you are fairly decent at do-it-yourself, fitting a cat flap should not be all that difficult, if you've got a solid timber door on your home in Blackpool. Under no circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced uPVC door. These sorts of fixtures call for a professional installation from a dependable cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BLACKPOOL

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, immediately send them packing. It's just not possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazing window pane or door panel. Making holes in the double glazing damages not merely the security and strength of the glazing, but it takes away the insulating properties as well. In reality, it makes your glazing unsafe and it shouldn't ever be attempted.

An experienced cat flap fitter will measure up your current double glazed unit and have a local Blackpool glazing firm make a new purpose made one. As a part of its structure this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed nicely into. This may take a week or two to produce, but it is the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door. Once you have acquired your new glass pane, the old one can be taken out and the new panel fitted. The fitting of the cat flap can then be undertaken.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as we previously mentioned, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Blackpool. If you are hesitant about creating a hole in your front door, it's advisable to bring in a professional to undertake the project for you.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in many instances. It pays to know the internal construction, as some uPVC doors are lined with steel for added security. A one piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it might be more economical to swap the panel for a single pane model.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to have a hole cut into your doors, whether for safety or aesthetic reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed in an outside wall. A wall cat flap entrance requires a little more skill and equipment to install, therefore it is certainly best left to the pros. Nearly all wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnel style, however right angle access through a pillar is also a possibility. A square hole will need to be cut through your selected wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, open ended square tube. An appropriate cat flap is then attached to each end of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Blackpool - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either broken or not working correctly, the existing hole in your door, window or wall can be used for a replacement providing the new flap is of an equivalent size. You local cat flap fitter should be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without damaging the surrounding window, door or wall, and fit a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

If the new cat flap is to be fitted in a pre cut hole in double glazing, you must check that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed in the right way. If it's found this isn't the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the glass pane will have to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems.
