You might be wondering how you can install a cat flap or dog door into your sliding glass door. It is important to note that the profile of the pet flap installed into sliding patio doors has to be very slim to enable the door to slide over. Pet Flaps UK offers the best cat flaps and dog doors for double glazed doors. These special pet flaps are designed specifically for a sliding patio door.
When it comes to sliding doors, there are limitations. The distance between two doors means that only flat or very slim pet flaps can be used—unless you are prepared to sacrifice part of the door to the pet flap or put up with a door that does not open fully.
Microchip pet flaps are too wide for installation into these doors and inhibit the ability to fully open the sliding door when you choose to have it installed in the fixed panel. Some people do choose this option; however, it is not for everyone.
The brand that is best suited to the sliding door is Pet-Tek, as these are the slimmest pet flaps on the market and allow most sliding patio doors to still operate without compromise. However, due to their slim design, they are a push style of pet flap.
These special glass fitting pet flaps are the ticket to success for many a pet owner who needs a pet flap installed in their patio sliding glass door. Pet-Tek is manufactured in New Zealand, and they make clear and white pet flaps which are specifically made for slimmer depth glass installations. We have three size options available.
The Maxi Dual Glaze G-SDDC and G-SDDW flap is suitable for large cats and small dogs. This cat flap is large enough for even Maine Coon and Savannah cats, and the manufacturer also suggests these breeds of dogs may able to use this pet flap; Pug, Bichon Frise, Beagle, Yorkie, and Miniature Pinscher, amongst other small breeds. Please measure your dog to be sure that they can fit easily through this pet flap.
The Intermediate Dog Door G-IDDC and G-IDDW is listed on the manufacturers website as being suitable for Small to Medium Breeds. This is a good option if you need a larger flap than the Maxi Dual Glaze but cannot go as large as the Medium Dog Door due to the width of the glass in your door. Suitable breeds may include Pugs, Bichon Frise, Fox Terriers and other breeds up to 12-15kg and less than 40cm shoulder height. Please measure your dog to be sure that they can fit easily through this dog door.
The Medium Dog Door G-DDC and G-DDW is listed on the manufacturers website as being suitable for dogs with a shoulder height less than 45cm and weighing less than 25kg. Breeds such as the Cocker Spaniel, Shetland Sheepdog, Basset Hound, English Bulldog may be suitable. Please measure your dog to be sure that they can fit easily through this dog door.
When it comes to installing pet flaps in glass, we use a very special process that ensures high-quality results every time. There are four steps involved in that process that span from the initial on-site assessment to the first time your furry family member walks through their new pet flap. These steps include:
Get in touch
There’s no need to wait for an in-person consultation. You can get an online recommendation from one of our experts with some simple measurements and photos. From your answers and submissions, we’ll provide a list of our top recommendations for the best cat flap or dog door for your pet.
Initial Site Visit & Evaluation
A specialist will visit your home, inspect your glass door, and take measurements. This helps us in the manufacturing of the replacement panel of glass. At this point, we can also give you a quote.
Manufacturing New Glass Panel
We will make a panel of glass that perfectly fits your door’s specifications, including where the cat flap will go. Then, we temper the glass making it four to five times more durable than untempered glass. This tempering process is performed twice on double-glazed glass.
Replace Your Door’s Glass
We return to your home, remove your existing glass panel, and replace it with a new one. This new glass will fit your door just like new, except it will have a hole placed perfectly for your pet flap.
Fit the Cat Flap
With the new panel of glass placed, we can install the cat flap into the door and let your cat come and go anytime.
