Fitting a catflap into a glass back door?

[Luke]

We have 'french windows' or whatever the eck they are..and the patio door is the two glass panel type doors.
Now..we've been thinking for a while about fitting a cat flap so the moggies can come and go at will instead of having to have windows open and freezing, my question is-can you fit a catflap into glass?
How?
Who would you go to to see if they could fit it?
Anything in general would be appreciated:)

Yes you can fit a catflap to a glass door, however you have to have the glass cut by a glazzier, and I believe you have to purchase a special cat flaps that will fit onto the glass.

I will have a google and come back ;)

Looking at the info on the Staywell site, I think all of their catflaps can be fitted to glass.

Have a look at the fitting instrucitons here Luke

Years ago we had a cat flap, but had a glass door, so Hubby put it in the wall beside the door, a flap on the outside, a little tunnel, and a flap on the inside, it worked a treat...

That sounds like a good idea Moli x

I know it's possible Luke and like Emma says staywell do one for glass but I have no experience of them myself

Yeap I have a cat flap in my wall too built when the wall was built well its a porch wall and did not want to put a cat flap in the door or anything so its built into the wall.
Well the cat flap was screwed onto a farmework of wood then the wood put into the brickwork as it was being built. It is a staywell one for brick walls.
Here are a couple of pictures I took for someone before excuse the dirt on the inside one Oscar was alive then.

We had a catflap in a glass door in our old house. As Emma said, the only slightly difficult thing is getting the glass cut. We got ours from Homebase with a glazing unit, and chose reinforced glass (the one with criss-cross wires in it). I guess you could chose lamonated or whatever. Once that's done you replace the existing glass with the 'perforated' glass and the actual cat flap just snaps together through the hole - like putting in an earring with a butterfly back. The cut surface is completely enclosed in the plastic of the flap.

Don't have a cat flap here but wil make at least a pophole in the 'personal door' to the garage, so the boys can get out of the rain if they get stuck outside.
