Cat Flap Fitter Garforth

Cat Flap Fitter Garforth West Yorkshire (LS25): Installing a cat flap doesn't just save you the trouble of having to open the door every time your cat wishes to go in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and enhances it's quality of life. Cats are just like people in many ways, and will typically show signs of frustration and unease if kept inside for long periods of time. Giving your cat easy access to outside world by means of a cat flap can also help to keep them mentally and physically fit. So, you're sold on the idea, but exactly what is best type of cat flap for your pet?

The simplest style of cat flap is basically that. A bit of flexible material fixed over a hole in a doorway to permit a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. Although this might be appropriate in a shed or outhouse door, the majority of cat owners in Garforth would doubtless prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their home.

As this option will allow other cats or creatures to enter your home, it's not at all recommended, although it can be enhanced to some degree by holding the flap in place with the addition of a magnetic strip.

Moving on from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. This requires that your cat wears a collar that's got either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased in it. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will be unable to open the flap and get into or leave your property, therefore keeping out some undesirable visitors. The drawback is that any other moggy in the Garforth area who has a similar style of collar could possible access your home when using this sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these devices because they can be programmed by the householder to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat. This makes sure that only your feline friend gains access, providing an extra layer of security and control.

Choosing a cat flap which can identify your pet's micro-chip, is the next step-up in access gadgets for felines. You have to enter the details of your cat's microchip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you have more than one cat it will accept multiple entries. The flap will be unfastened whenever your cat is close-by, only allowing access to pets that are microchipped.

No matter what cat flap you purchase, it must be capable of being locked in position. Currently, almost all cat flaps available on the market have a 4-way locking system for extra flexibility. This means that the cat flap can be locked fully, enable exit from your property only, permit only entrance into your home, or be set for 2-way exit and entry. This gives you a range of alternatives on exactly how your cat flap functions at all times of the day and night time. The ability to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with your cat's and your requirements is also an option with some of the top-end models of cat flap.

If you're pretty decent at DIY, installing your own cat flap should not be all that difficult, if you have a solid wood door on your Garforth home. But, if you are intending to install it in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you must seek outside help. These types of fixtures call for a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or handyman with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN GARFORTH

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap needs to be fitted into a double glazed window or door panel, and your hired "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the work straight away and give them their walking orders. A new cat flap cannot be installed into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Any type of double glazing will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will diminish its thermal properties, security and strength. In actual fact, it renders the glazing unsafe and it should not ever be done.

It is necessary to get a new double glazed panel made especially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your local Garforth cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your existing pane and put in an order for the new one. As an integral part of its structure this new double glazing panel will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be fitted perfectly into. This is really the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it might take one or two weeks to produce. When your new glass panel shows up, the fitter will take out the old unit, and replace it with the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. It will now be possible to install the cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - The least complicated option for cat flap installations in Garforth, as was mentioned previously, are timber door panels. It's normally better to bring in an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter, if you're at all nervous about making a hole in your front door. This kind of project is fairly inexpensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your cat has a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be often be fitted with a cat flap. It pays to know the internal construction, since some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for further security. A one piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it may be more economical to exchange this panel for a single pane style.

Wall Installation - If you don't really want to cut a hole in your doors, whether for safety or aesthetic reasons, you could have a cat flap installed on an external wall. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires a bit more equipment and skill to fit, therefore it is definitely best left to the pros. You will find there are a couple of choices for this installation, including a straight-through tunnel version, or a right angle (through pillar) adaption. A neat square hole will be made through your selected wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. A cat flap of your choice can then be mounted on either end to permit your cat to enter and exit as it pleases.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Garforth - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working properly, the existing hole in your wall, door or window can be used for a replacement providing the new cat flap is of a similar size. A trusted cat flap installer in Garforth will be capable of removing your unwanted cat flap, and mount a new one as a replacement without harming the wall, door or window.

When the cat flap installation involves a pre-cut hole in double glazing, it is essential to make sure that this was previously done accurately, before fitting the new cat flap. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge up, the pane will have to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues with the new flap.
