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 Blackpool 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.
