Anyone put a cat flap into a glass pvc door?

BaileyB

We have a solid glass door top and bottom and just wondering if anyone has managed to put a cat flap into one of these?

yes you can put cat flaps into glass doors, but I don't know more than that

you will need the unit remaking with the circle cut in or replace the glass with flat upvc panel

My son has just today had a quote to put a cat flap in a double glazed pvc french door. It involves the manufacture and fitting of a new panel, approx. 600mm x 1800 mm. The price quoted was £350

I wanted this but at £350 I think i will just get out of bed at 4am instead!!

The cat flap at my son's house is now done. He says it is very large, big enough for a dog. One of their three cats will not use it. He wishes that he had got one put in the back bedroom window, as this is the way the cats have been gaining access up to now. It would have been a lot cheaper as the glass panel is a lot smaller than the one in the french door.

you can replace the glass panel with a solid one with the hole cut in it, much cheaper if you don't mind losing the glass. Plus then it's easy to reinstate if you're moving house.

Exactly what I have done in the past. A piece of wood with a hole painted to match the rest of the door. The cat flap is then fitted in the hole.
