Cat Flap Fitter Earls Barton

Cat Flap Fitter Earls Barton Northamptonshire (NN6): A simple way to give your cat more independence and improve it's quality of life is to fit a cat flap on an outside door or wall of your house in Earls Barton. When continuously kept inside, cats as with humans, will get crabby and irritated. Having access to the outside world by means of a cat flap will help your pet to keep fit, both physically and mentally. So, you think it's a great idea, but which is perfect kind of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most rudimentry style of cat flap is essentially that. A hole is cut in a door and a flexible material is fixed over the gap to give protection from the elements. The vast majority of Earls Barton cat owners would favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although this could be acceptable for a fence panel or outhouse door.

This uncomplicated model is still a long way from being perfect since it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to enter your home, but it can be improved on to some degree by adding a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar boasting an IR, RF chip or magnet. Unless an animal is equipped with this special collar, it will be unable to open the flap and access or leave your home, thus avoiding some unwanted visitors. Again this is a pretty basic form of cat flap, since any other cat in the area that has a similar model of collar can still get into your house. Even these cat flaps can be improved to a certain degree with an RF cat flap and collar system having a user programmed unique identifier.

Having a cat flap which can identify your cat's micro-chip, is the next level in entrance security for felines. The microchip number is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one pet). When your cat comes into close vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and permits solely your micro-chipped pets to enter or exit.

Whichever cat flap you buy, it must have the ability to be locked in position. The majority of cat flaps sold these days have a 4-way locking mechanism. This allows your cat flap to permit only entrance into your property, permit exit only, be fully locked, or have 2-way exit and entry functionality. This will give you solutions for all times of day and night, to control exactly how your cat flap functions. Some high end models can be programmed to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, in keeping with your cat's and your requirements.

Putting in a cat flap on your own can be pretty easy if you've got a solid wood door on your Earls Barton house, and reasonable do-it-yourself skills. On no account should you try and fit a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door. These types of fittings call for a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN EARLS BARTON

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap has to be installed in a double glazing door or window panel, and your hired "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the work right away and give them their walking orders. A new cat flap can not be fitted into an existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Making holes in your double glazing destroys not simply the strength and security of the panel, but it compromises the insulating attributes as well. Your double glazing will be made unsound, and it shouldn't be done in any circumstances.

A reputable Earls Barton cat flap fitter will carefully get the dimensions of your current pane and order a tailor-made one from a local glazing supplier. As part of its structure this new double glazed unit will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be installed nicely into. This is really the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it can take one or two weeks to manufacture. Once your new glass pane shows up, the fitter will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the new "cat flap ready" panel. The cat flap can then be put in.

External Wooden Doors - The least complicated alternative for installing a new cat flap in Earls Barton, as was stated earlier, are wood doors. If you are a bit uncertain about making a hole in your door, you may be better off bringing in an expert cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This kind of project will not be too costly and is really worth doing correctly, if having your cat flap professionally installed offers you that added peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can in general be installed into uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the interior construction, because some uPVC door panels are steel lined for additional security. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the simplest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it might be easier to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - It's also a possibility to get a cat flap mounted in an exterior wall of your property in Earls Barton, if you do not want to cut chunks out of your doors, whether for security or aesthetic reasons. Requiring a lot more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installation is undoubtedly best left to the pros, if it's to be completed successfully. Almost all wall cat flap installations involve a simple straight tunnel style, however right angular access via a pillar is also a possibility. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole neatly cut out of your specified wall. An appropriate cat flap can then be fitted to both ends of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Earls Barton - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not working properly, the current hole in your door, window or wall can be fitted with a replacement providing the new cat flap is of a similar size. A specialist Earls Barton cat flap fitter will be glad to take out your old entry unit and swap it for a new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the window, wall or door on which it is secured.

Before installing a new flap in a double glazing pane that's been pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed accurately is crucial. The glass panel will need to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues, if it becomes obvious this isn't the case and corners were cut during the previous installation.
