Re: Fitting a catflap into a glass back door?


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.

Re: Fitting a catflap into a glass back door?


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.
