Cat Flap Fitter Stevenage

Cat Flap Fitter Stevenage Hertfordshire (SG1): Installing a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Stevenage home gives your cat the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life. Rather like people, when kept inside for long periods of time, cats will typically show signs of irritability and frustration. Having easy access to outside world via a cat flap will help your furry friend to remain fit, both mentally and physically. So, you're sold on the idea, but what is perfect type of cat flap for your pet?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is simply that. A hole in a door with a flexible bit of material hung over it, to provide protection from the elements, but let the cat pass through it. Obviously, this is really basic, and will not be good enough for most cat owners in Stevenage, who would no doubt prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their home, although it could be appropriate for an outhouse door or fence panel.

Since this option allows other creatures or cats to enter your home, it is not at all recommended, although it can be enhanced somewhat by keeping the flap in position by adding magnetic strips.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. In this case, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. No animal will be able to access or leave your property unless it is fitted with this special collar. Again this is a pretty basic kind of cat flap, as any other moggy in the area who's got a similar collar may be able to access your property. An upgrade to this equipment is a RF cat flap/collar system which includes a unique identifier which can be programmed by the user. Your feline friend is the sole one to gain access, offering an additional layer of security and control.

Having a cat flap which can be operated by your pet's microchip, is the next level in access devices for felines in Stevenage. The microchip details are programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one pet). Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it unlocks and allows just your microchipped pets to enter/exit.

Whenever you're buying a cat flap, you should ensure that it is of a type that can be locked. Nowadays, almost all cat flaps available on the market have a 4-way locking system for extra flexibility. This means that the cat flap can permit exit only, permit only admittance into your property, be fully locked, or be set for two way exit and entry. This provides total control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night time. In keeping with your pet's and your requirements, there's even the possibility to carry out different functions in accordance with the time of day, with a few of the top-end devices.

If you've got a wood door on your house in Stevenage, fitting a cat flap yourself shouldn't be that hard. But, if you're planning to fit it in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you should seek outside help. These sorts of fixtures require a professional installation by a trustworthy cat flap installer or handyman with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN STEVENAGE

Double Glazing Installation - If your cat flap needs to be installed in a double glazing panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the job straight away and show them the gate. New cat flaps cannot be mounted into pre-existing double glazed window or door panels. Making holes in the double glazing damages not merely the strength and security of the panel, but it compromises the insulating properties too. In fact, it makes your glazing unsafe and it should not ever be done.

A trustworthy Stevenage cat flap installer will carefully take the measurements of your existing pane and order a custom-made one from a local glazing company. This new panel will have a hole pre-cut as part of its construction where the cat flap can be installed. This is the only way to install a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, even though it might take a couple of weeks to manufacture. Once you have received your new pane of glass, the old one can be removed and the new panel installed. The installation of the cat flap can then be concluded.

External Wooden Doors - Timber door panels are, as I previously mentioned, the simplest options for cat flap installation in Stevenage. If you're hesitant about creating a hole in your front or back door, it's it may be better to call in an expert to complete the task for you. A project like this will not be expensive and will provide you with the assurance of knowing that your kitty will be using an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. It pays to know the internal construction, as some door panels are lined with steel for additional security. The simplest type of installation is in doors having a single panel, therefore if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it might be cheaper and easier in the long run to replace the slatted pane with a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or security reasons, you do not wish to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could choose to install your cat flap in an outside wall of your property. Calling for considerably more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installment is definitely better left to a professional, if it is to be accomplished correctly. Nearly all cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnelled style, however right angled access via a pillar can also be achieved. This installation involves a neat square hole being made through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted. An appropriate cat flap can then be fitted to each end of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Stevenage - If you already have a cat flap installed on your window, wall or door, but it is broken or not functioning properly, the current hole can hopefully still be used for the installation of a new one. A reputable cat flap fitter in Stevenage will be able to remove your old,unwanted cat flap, and fit a brand new one as a replacement without harming the wall, window or door.

Before installing the new cat flap in a double glazed panel that has been pre-cut, making sure that the existing glass has been made and installed in the right way is essential. If it's discovered that corners were cut with the previous installation, the panel will have to be removed and substituted to avoid any security and safety issues with the new cat flap.
