Cat Flap Fitter Verwood

Cat Flap Fitter Verwood Dorset (BH31): Putting in a cat flap doesn't just save you the hassle of opening the door every time the cat wants to go out or in, it also gives your cat extra independence and improves it's all round quality of life. Cats which are kept inside, just like humans, will show signs of irritability. Having accessibility to world outside via a cat flap will help your pet to stay fit, both physically and mentally. But what sort of cat flap is best in your case?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is simply that. A piece of flexible material fixed over a hole in a door to allow a cat to pass through, but keep out the elements. The majority of Verwood cat owners would doubtless prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their house, although this may be appropriate for a shed or outhouse door.

This simple model can be somewhat improved upon with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position, but it is still far from perfect as it enables other cats or animals to get into your property.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap. In this case, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. What this means is that any animal that does not have a special collar cannot get into or leave your home. The fact that any other cat in the neighbourhood who's got a similar collar can get into your house, is the downside with this kind of cat flap. An upgrade to this equipment is an RF cat flap/collar system which provides a unique identifier that can be programmed by the householder. Gaining access is restricted to only your furry friend, resulting in an extra layer of control and security.

Fitting a cat flap which can identify your pet's own microchip, is the next level in entry gadgets for felines. You have to enter the unique number of your cat's micro-chip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you've got more than one cat it will take multiple entries. The flap will be unfastened whenever your cat is in the vicinity, only permitting entry or exit to pets that have a microchip.

When you are purchasing a cat flap, you must ensure that it is of a design that can be locked into position. Currently, the majority of cat flaps on the market have a four way locking mechanism for extra flexibility. Which means that it has the capability to be locked fully, allow only access into your home, enable exit from your premises only, or be put in 2-way exit and entry mode. This gives full control over how your cat flap works both throughout the day and during the night time. The wherewithal to perform specific functions according to the time of day, and based on yours and your pet's requirements is also an option with some of the more advanced brands of cat flap.

Putting in a cat flap by yourself can be quite easy if you've got a solid timber door, and decent do-it-yourself capabilities. Although, if it is going to be installed into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you should not even attempt to tackle it yourself. This kind of installation requires the attention of an expert, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and talented handymen who are delighted to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN VERWOOD

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed window or door panel, send them packing immediately. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Cutting into any sort of double glazing will destroy its strength and security, along with its insulation properties. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsafe.

A specialist cat flap fitter will measure the existing double glazed pane and have a glazing company knock up a new purpose made pane. So the cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new double glazed pane will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its structure. You might have a 1 or 2 week waiting period for this special pane to be made, but if you want a cat flap fitted into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, this is basically the only way to do it. As soon as your new panel of glass shows up, the installer will take out the old one, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. The fitting of the cat flap can then be completed.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The simplest option for new cat flap installations in Verwood, as was stated earlier, are timber doors. It is usually wise to employ the expert services of a professional handyman or cat flap fitter, if you are at all dubious about cutting a hole in your front door. This kind of project won't be all that expensive and is worth doing properly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional offers you that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be installed with a cat flap. However, certain uPVC doors are lined with steel for further security, which may cause some issues. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted type panel, it might be better to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for safety or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of your door, you could always decide to install the cat flap into an exterior wall of your property in Verwood. A wall cat flap entrance calls for considerably more equipment and expertise to fit, so it's certainly best left to a professional. There are a couple of possibilities for this kind of installation, including a straight-through tunnel design, or a right angular (through pillar) pattern. With this sort of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted into a square hole neatly cut out of your selected wall. A suitable cat flap can then be installed on each end of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Verwood - If you already have a cat flap fitted on a wall, window or door, but it is damaged or not functioning properly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for installing a new one. A reliable cat flap installer in Verwood will be able to remove your old,unwanted cat flap, and fit a new one in its place without causing damage to the surrounding wall, door or window.

If the new cat flap is to be installed into a pre cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must double check that the glass has been cut and installed correctly. If it is found this isn't the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the glass panel must be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety problems.
