Has anybody had a cat flap fitted into a glass door? We are going to get a microchip cat flap and get it fitted into the back door but was wondering if anybody else has had this done recently and could give me a rough cost for the glaziers?

Thanks

Hi. Single glazed doors are quite easy. It's the double glazed ones that cost. Ring a couple of glaziers out of your local Yellow Pages and they'll give you a quote. And make sure you get a flap that is made for glass.

Thanks Ian, unfortuately we are double glazed so it looks like we are going to have to spend a small fortune!!

I'm sure you've probably considered this but, if you don't have a suitable door to use, you can get cat flaps fitted into solid walls. I have heard that this can be the cheaper option that trying to fit one into double glazed glass. Just thought I'd mention it.

I'm in the same situation and put up a similar post the other day.

Double Glazed Cat Flap ?

The link has been removed but there wasnt a bad link on there to someone who does do them.

If anyone has a link can they post it again please.

Hi.
Speaking from experience, cat flaps can only be fitted in double glazed units at the time of manufacture. The same goes for toughened glass.
We had a cat flap fitted in our porch window (between the porch and the house), its is not toughened, but it is thick textured (obscured). It cost us £40 to have it fitted.

I tired a few 'cat flap fitter' types, but read bad reviews on them. They were also quoting me in the region of £100 to have it fitted.
In the end I phoned a small local glazier that came out to do it the next day.

For those of you looking at mircochip cat flaps (brillant idea) I have the pet porte one in the wall into my porch (between the porch and the garden), but I was planning on having that one in the glass, however one of the cat flap fitters told me that one can't go in glass - so you may want to check that out. I believe the sureflap microchip flap will go in glass though.
