Cat Flap Fitter Parkeston

Cat Flap Fitter Parkeston Essex (CO12): Fitting a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your home in Parkeston, will enable it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own bit of independence and freedom. Cats tend to get irritated and crabby when constantly kept inside, and not able to roam free. Allowing your furry friend easy access to world outside by way of a cat flap can also help to keep them physically and mentally fit. But what type of cat flap is most suitable for your circumstances?

A cat flap at its most fundamental is simply that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a bendable material is fixed over the gap to offer a bit of protection from the weather. Whilst this may be appropriate for a garden fence panel or shed door, the majority of cat owners in Parkeston would no doubt prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their home.

This simple model can be improved upon with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, but it is still far from ideal since it enables other cats or creatures to enter your home.

A step up from the magnetic strip version are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be encased in your cat's collar. No animal is going to be able to get into or leave your property unless it is fitted with this special collar. The point that any other moggy in the area who has a similar model of collar may be able to get into your property, is the drawback with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these devices and can be programmed by the home owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet. This makes certain that only your purrfect companion gains access, providing an additional layer of control and security.

The next level in feline entrance security is to use the type of cat flap that can be triggered by your cat's own micro-chip. The number of your cat's micro-chip is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you have more than one pet). Entry and exit can only be accomplished by micro-chipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is close by.

The ability to lock it in place is essential whichever cat flap you are buying. Most cat flaps sold nowadays have a four way locking system. This allows your cat flap to be locked fully, enable exit from your house only, enable only admittance into your property, or have 2-way exit and entry capability. This will provide you with solutions for all times of day and night, to have control over exactly how your cat flap works. A few higher end cat flaps can be programmed to perform different functions according to the time of day, in line with yours and your cat's needs.

Putting in a cat flap yourself can be fairly straightforward if you have a solid wood door on your Parkeston property, and reasonable do-it-yourself capabilities. Although, if it is going to be installed into a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you should on no account even attempt it yourself. These situations call for the expertise and skills of an experienced cat flap installer or carpenter, who is certain to have have the equipment and knowledge for this kind of installation.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN PARKESTON

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to fit your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, send them packing immediately. A new cat flap can't be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Drilling holes in any type of double glazing will destroy its security and strength, as well as its insulating attributes. In reality, it makes the glazing unsafe and it shouldn't ever be attempted.

A specialist cat flap fitter will measure your current double glazing unit and have a glazing firm knock up a new pane. This new panel will be delivered with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its construction where the cat flap will be fitted. This could take a week or two to manufacture, but it's basically the only way to install a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door. Once you have acquired your new modified glass panel, the old one can be taken out and the new one installed. The installing of the cat flap will then be undertaken.

External Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as stated earlier, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Parkeston. If you're a bit dubious about cutting an opening in your front door, you might be happier hiring a specialist cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This type of project won't be too costly and is really worth doing properly, if having your cat flap professionally installed offers you that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally speaking be fitted into uPVC doors. You will need to find out what the interior structure of you door actually is, because for added security some uPVC doors are made with a steel lining. The easiest type of installation is in doors having one single panel, subsequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be easier and cheaper in the long run to exchange the slats for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for security or aesthetic reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into your door, you could decide to install a cat flap in an outside wall of your house. This type of installation is certainly better left to an expert, as it requires considerably more skill and equipment to execute. You could choose a straight-through tunnel design, or maybe a right angled model which permits access via a pillar. Installation entails a neat square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. A cat flap can then be attached to both ends of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Parkeston - If you've already got a cat flap fitted on your window, wall or door, but it is damaged or not operating correctly, the current hole can, with luck, be re-used for installing a new one. A specialist Parkeston cat flap fitter will gladly 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's attached.

When the installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be necessary to make sure that this was previously done in the right way, before attaching the new flap. If it's found this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass pane will have to be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues.
