Cat Flap Fitter Southend-on-Sea

Cat Flap Fitter Southend-on-Sea Essex (SS0): To give your cat the independence and freedom it needs to live a happy life, you could fit a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Southend-on-Sea home. Cats tend to get grouchy and irritated when continuously kept indoors, and not able to roam free. When granted quick access to the outside world with a cat flap, your cat has a better chance of staying healthy and well. However, what form of cat flap is best for your circumstances?

The most fundamental style of cat flap, is simply that. A hole is cut into a door and a flexible material is fixed over it to offer protection from the elements. Of course, this is extremely basic, and will rarely good enough for most Southend-on-Sea cat owners, who would no doubt prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their property, although it may be appropriate for a fence panel or shed door.

Since this option will allow other cats or creatures to enter your home, it's not at all recommended, although it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar featuring a magnet, RF or IR chip. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your house unless it's fitted with this special collar. Again this is a pretty simple type of cat flap, as any other cat in the Southend-on-Sea area that has a similar collar could perchance get into your property. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these devices as they can be programmed by the cat owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat. An additional layer of security and control is achieved, guaranteeing that only your furry companion gets access.

The next stage in feline entry security is to use the kind of cat flap which identifies your pet's own microchip. You have to enter the unique number of your cat's microchip into the memory the cat flap (which is powered by batteries), and if you have several cats it will allow multiple entries. Whenever your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and allows only your microchipped pets to exit or enter.

No matter what cat flap you purchase, it should have the ability to be locked in place. Nowadays, the majority of cat flaps on the market feature a 4-way locking system for extra security. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, permit admittance into your house only, enable exit from your property only, or have two-way exit and entrance capability. This offers you a number of options on precisely how your cat flap functions any time of the day and night. A few of the more advanced models can be programmed to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, in line with your pet's and your needs.

If you have a timber door in your property in Southend-on-Sea, installing you own cat flap should not be all that complicated. Although, if it has to be fitted into a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt it yourself. This type of installation will require the attention of an expert, and there are specialist cat flap installers and skilled handymen who'll be happy to take on such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN SOUTHEND-ON-SEA

Double Glazing Installations - If you happen to hire somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your new cat flap, stop them right away and ask them to leave. New cat flaps cannot be installed into existing double glazed doors or window panels. Any sort of double glazing will be ruined by cutting into it, and will take away its thermal insulation properties, security and strength. Actually, it makes your glazing unsound and it should never be done.

A trustworthy Southend-on-Sea cat flap installer will carefully take the precise measurements of your existing unit and order a purpose made one from a local glazing firm. To ensure that your cat flap can be perfectly installed into it, this new double glazing pane will be provided with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure. This is really the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, although it may take two weeks or so to produce. When your new glass panel is delivered, the fitter will take out the old one, and swap it for the new "cat flap ready" one. Your cat flap will then be put in.

External Wooden Doors - As previously mentioned, solid wooden door panels are the easiest option with regards to cat flap installation on your house in Southend-on-Sea. If you're somewhat uncertain about creating an opening in your door, you may be happier getting in touch with a professional cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This type of project should not be expensive and will provide you with the assurance of knowing that your cat will be climbing through a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in most cases. You or your fitter will have to ascertain what the interior structure of you door is, since for additional security some uPVC doors are made with a steel lining. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the simplest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted style door panel, it may be better to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - It is also possible to get a cat flap fitted on an outside wall of your property in Southend-on-Sea, if you don't wish to cut chunks out of your doors, for aesthetic or security reasons. Requiring much more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installation is undoubtedly better left to the pros, if it is to be accomplished successfully. You can pick out a straight-through tunnel design, or maybe a right angle model which allows access through a pillar. With this kind of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square shaped hole cut out of your selected wall. A suitable cat flap can then be installed on both ends of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Southend-on-Sea - If you've already got a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working properly, the existing hole in your wall, door or window can still be used providing that the new cat flap is of a similar size. A professional Southend-on-Sea cat flap fitter will be glad to remove your old entry unit and swap it for a brand new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the door, wall or window on which it is mounted.

When the installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it is necessary to check that this was previously done accurately, before fixing the new cat flap. The pane will have to be removed and substituted to avoid any safety and security issues, if it's found this is not the case and corners were cut in the earlier installation.
