Cat Flap Fitter Chepstow

Cat Flap Fitter Chepstow Wales (NP16): Fitting a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Chepstow home provides your cat with the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life. Cats are quite like humans in a lot of ways, and will sometimes start to show signs of anxiety and frustration if kept inside for lengthy periods of time. When your precious cat is allowed instant access to the outside world via a cat flap, there is a better chance of it staying both mentally and physically healthy. So, you are sold on the idea, but which is best style of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most rudimentry style of cat flap is basically that. A bit of bendable material fixed over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to pass through it, but keep out the elements. Of course, this is really basic, and won't be adequate for most cat owners in Chepstow, who would favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their house, although it may be appropriate for a shed door or fence panel.

This standard model is still far from ideal as it allows other cats or animals a means by which to get into your house, however it can be slightly improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place.

The next step up from the magnetic strip style are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. This requires your cat to use a collar which has either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased within it. No animal will be able to get into or leave your home unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. Again this is a fairly basic form of cat flap, given that any other cat in the area who has a similar style of collar can get into your home. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to a certain extent with an RF cat flap and collar system featuring a user programmed unique identifier. This makes certain that only your furry friend gains access, providing an added layer of control and security.

Choosing a cat flap that can identify your pet's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in entrance devices for felines. You have to enter the number of your cat's microchip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you've got several cats it will allow multiple entries. Whenever your cat comes into close vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and permit only your microchipped pets to enter/exit.

Being able to lock it in place is vital regardless which cat flap you are purchasing. Currently, almost all cat flaps on the market feature a 4-way locking mechanism for extra flexibility. Which means that the cat flap can be fully locked, allow exit only, permit entry into your home only, or be set for two way exit and entry. This will provide you with alternatives for all times of day and night, to have control over exactly how your cat flap operates. A few of the more advanced models can be programmed to perform particular functions according to the time of day, in line with your cat's and your needs.

Fitting a cat flap by yourself can be fairly straightforward if you've got a solid wood door, and decent do-it-yourself capabilities. Not in any circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door. These types of fixtures call for a professional installation by a dependable cat flap fitter or handyman with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN CHEPSTOW

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap has to be fitted into a double glazing panel, and your appointed "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the work immediately and show them the gate. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into a pre-existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Cutting or drilling into any type of double glazing will damage its security and strength, as well as its thermal attributes. In reality, it makes the glazing unsound and it should never be attempted.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazed pane made especially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your local Chepstow cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current unit and put in an order for the new one. As an integral part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This can take one or two weeks to produce, but it is the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door. Once your new panel of glass shows up, the installer will remove the old one, and replace it with the brand new "cat flap ready" one. The installing of your cat flap can then be completed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The simplest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Chepstow, as was stated earlier, are wooden door panels. If you're somewhat uncomfortable with cutting an opening in your front or back door, you may be happier contacting an expert cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This kind of project is relatively inexpensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your pet will be climbing through a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be sometimes be suitable for a cat flap. You or your fitter will need to find out what the internal construction of you door actually is, since for added security certain uPVC door panels are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. A one piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you have a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be cheaper to swap the panel for a single pane model.

Wall Installation - It's also a possibility to have a cat flap fitted into an external wall of your home in Chepstow, if you do not wish to cut holes in your doors, either for security or aesthetic reasons. A wall cat flap entrance calls for considerably more equipment and expertise to install, so it is definitely better left to the pros. You could go with a straightforward tunnel style, or even a right angle version which enables access via a pillar. A neat square hole will have to be made through your selected wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, open ended square tube. An appropriate cat flap is then attached to each end of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Chepstow - If your door, window or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it is not working, or is damaged, it is quite possible to mount a replacement over the current cavity. A specialist Chepstow cat flap installer will be happy to take out your old device and replace it with a fresh cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the wall, window or door on which it is mounted.

If the new cat flap is going to be installed into a pre cut hole in double glazing, you must make sure that the existing glass has been made and installed in the right way. If it's found this is not the case, and a botch was made of the original installation, the glass unit will have to be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems.
