Can a cat flap be installed in any type of door?

Cat flaps can be professionally installed into most types of doors, including uPVC doors, composite doors, wooden doors and glazed doors. They can also be fitted into suitable wall panels and other locations where a conventional door installation isn’t practical. The installation method will depend on the construction and material of the door. At Coastal Cat Flaps, we assess the best position and fitting method to provide a neat, secure and professional cat flap installation while minimising disruption to the existing door.

Can you install a cat flap into double glazing?

Yes. We provide professional cat flap installation into double-glazed doors and windows. However, a hole cannot simply be cut into an existing toughened double-glazed unit, as this would cause the glass to shatter. Instead, a new toughened double-glazed sealed unit is manufactured with the correctly sized hole incorporated during production. Once ready, the existing glass unit is removed and replaced with the new panel before the cat flap is professionally fitted. This provides a safe, neat and permanent solution without compromising the integrity of the glazing.

How long does cat flap installation take?

A straightforward cat flap installation into a uPVC, composite or wooden door can usually be completed during a single visit, with the fitting itself typically taking around one to two hours, depending on the door construction and type of cat flap being installed. Installations into double glazing require additional preparation because a replacement sealed glass unit normally needs to be measured and manufactured before fitting. We can advise on the expected timescale when providing your quotation.

Do you fit dog flaps?

Yes. As well as specialist cat flap fitting, Coastal Cat Flaps also provides professional dog flap installation for suitable doors, panels and other locations. Dog flaps are generally larger than cat flaps, so careful consideration needs to be given to the size and construction of the door and the appropriate flap for your dog. We can advise on a suitable installation and professionally fit the dog flap to provide your pet with convenient access to your home and garden.
