Why Choose a Pet Door?

Installing a cat flap or dog door is a smart, time-saving solution for any pet owner. It enhances your pet’s independence and supports better toilet training and outdoor access — all without compromising your home’s security or insulation.
Installing Cat Flaps in Single Glazing Doors

Single glazed doors, often found as secondary kitchen or utility doors, typically feature a single pane of glass between 3mm and 10mm thick. These may include patterned or frosted designs for added privacy.

Due to the fragility of single glazing, installing a pet flap into these doors requires specialist expertise. Rather than cutting directly into the glass, we replace it with a high-strength glass-effect panel (Toughened Safety glass) — up to 5 times stronger than standard single glazing. This ensures a secure, durable, and long-lasting installation that maintains your home’s safety and aesthetics.

Why Use Our Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation Service?

    Professional installation into uPVC, wood, composite, and glass doors

    Specialist knowledge in single glazing cat flap and dog door fittings

    Use of toughened, glass-effect substitutes for maximum safety

    Clean, mess-free installations with minimal disruption

At cat flaps South London we can supply and fit / install a new cat flap or catflap in your single glazed door.

Question: I need a cat flap fitted in a single glazed door. How long does this take and what happens?

Answer
1. We would arrange to visit your home or property at a convenient time to get an exact measurement of the current glass in the door, check what pattern your glass currently is and offer a like for like or an alternative if the glass is no longer manufactured.

2.
We would then cut a new piece of 4mm float glass (plain or pattern of your choice) to the exact size as measured, cut a hole for the cat flap and then have the glass sent away to be toughened.

3.
Approximately 2-3 day later the cat flap glass will be ready to collected from the toughening plant at which point we will then  arrange a convenient time with you to call back and replace the current piece of glass with the glass ready for a cat flap installation.

No - The cat flap/catflap must be glass fitting and circular as it is very expensive to cut a square hole, although not impossible.

Cat flaps come with a kit that includes a paper template that guides you exactly where to drill. With the help of markings, drill a hole in to each corner of the template. Once you have done with drilling the holes, you can get the shape of your cat flap accordingly. These are great for wooden, UPVC/plastic and metal doors, but would recommend a professionaal for anything to do with glass.

No - The glass in the door should already be toughened and you can not cut toughened glass, so we will need to replace the unit (worth hanging on to the double glazed unit we take ut as should you move or need to put this back at a later date will save you some money).

Yes - as cat flaps come in different sizes, models, automatic etc. it is best to talk to us first in order that you can ask all the questions you require answered on the most popular brands.

It varies, but usually takes around 1 hour to install a cat flap in wood, UPVC, metal or a composite door, if it is a cat flap in glass or a double glazed unit, the glass will be toughened safety glass and usually take 3-5 working days to remanufacture and about 30 minuites to install again subject to type and style of door or frame.

We're afraid not as the glass is already toughened when you try to cut it and the glass would break into hundreds of thousands of pieces!

  1. We would arrange to visit your home or property at a convenient time to get an exact measurement of the current double glazed unit in the door, check what pattern you have and offer a like for like or an alternative if the glass is no longer manufactured.

Just be prepared to be a bit more patient with older cats who may not have used a cat flap before. Use a food reward for your cat and try playing in close by so they get used to being nect to it. Leave the flap open so they can see outside as curiosity will entice them closer until they eventually go through it.
