Cat flaps & Dog flaps into glass
A cat flap into a single glazed door
At cat flaps North 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 glass 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.

If you got your cat as a kitten, six months is the perfect age to train her to use a cat flap. At this stage, cats should be vaccinated, and mature enough to go outside on their own. But you can follow these tips with a cat of any age; just be prepared to be a bit more patient with older cats who may not have used a cat flap before. These five steps should soon help your pet overcome any initial feline nerves and get them using the cat flap with confidence
1. Introduce the cat flap
Initially, keep the cat flap locked, and begin by simply feeding and playing with your cat nearby. Anything you can do to create positive associations with the cat flap, such as leaving food treats in front of it, is helpful.
2. Open the cat flap
Prop the cat flap open with heavy-duty tape to make an inviting opening for your cat to move through. Timid cats, especially, will appreciate being able to look out and see what awaits them on the other side.
3. Use rewards
With a person on either side of the open cat flap, use high-value food treats (perhaps some chicken or fish, or other favorite snack) to entice your cat in or out. Alternatively, you could use a toy to tempt her through the opening.
4. Take it slowly
Repeat the above a few times a day, for a week or so. Some cats will quickly become confident moving through the cat flap, while others may take longer to get used to the idea. Never force your cat through the opening, especially if you sense resistance from her. As with all training , practice makes perfect. This is really about creating natural confidence in your cat.
5. Drop the cat flap door
As your cat becomes more familiar with the opening, you can then drop the flap, so that she has to push lightly to open it. Once she’s comfortable doing this, she should be able to come and go as she pleases whenever you leave the cat flap unlocked.
