Glass Cat Door Installation Sydney

Fitting a cat door into a glass panel is not the same job as fitting one into timber or a screen. The glass has to be identified correctly, cut to a precise diameter, and sealed properly, and getting any of that wrong means replacing the panel. Sydney Paws Petdoor has been installing glass cat doors across Greater Sydney since 2010, and the work is done by a glass cut-in technician rather than a general handyman.

Most cats sit at a closed sliding door and wait. A cat flap in a glass door removes that entirely. Your cat comes and goes on its own, the door stays shut, insects stay outside, and you keep the option to lock the flap when you want the cat in for the night.

Cat Door in Glass, Cat Flap Installation

If your sliding door or window is laminated glass, our technician cuts the opening on site and installs the Pet-Tek Catwalk cat door into the panel where it sits. The panel does not come out of the frame. That is the difference between a straightforward installation and a full glass replacement, and it is the main reason a glass cat door installation costs less than most people expect.

Toughened or safety glass cannot be cut once manufactured. For those panels we have a pet door specialist glazier fabricate a new panel with the opening already in it, then swap the panel out. Either way you end up with a cat door for sliding glass door that works, and we tell you which situation you are in before any work starts.

Pet-tek Catwalk Cat door comes with 3 years warranty. Click here to find out more about Microchip Cat Doors today.

Cat Door for Sliding Glass Door

The Catwalk fits 99% of glass sliding doors and glass windows in Sydney homes and is the only cat door on the market designed specifically for sliding glass panels. The unit sits in the panel itself, so the door slides as it always has.

Clearance matters on ranch sliders. Provided your sliders have the required gap between panels, the slimline Catwalk or Dogwalk sits clear and does not interfere with the slide.

Pet-Tek Catwalk Cat Door Specs. Cat Doors in Glass Doors

The Catwalk is a translucent circular flap moulded from polycarbonate, one of the toughest materials available for this application, and UV stabilised so it does not yellow in the Australian sun. Visually it reads as part of the glass rather than a bolted-on fixture, which matters when the panel is the main feature of a living area.

Cat Door For Sliding Glass Door

  • Four-way locking system, in, out, both, or closed
  • Flap size 195 x 185mm
  • Full weather seal with moulded feather edge to limit draughts and rain
  • Automatic magnetic flap positioning and quiet action
  • External self-draining condensate outlet
  • No-cavity design, so dirt does not collect inside the glass
  • All stainless steel fixings, fitted with four screws
  • Suits glass panels 3mm to 20mm
  • Cut-out diameter 267mm
  • Recyclable

Cat Door Sizes for Larger Cats

The Catwalk is rated to 8kg, which covers the majority of domestic cats. For cats above 8kg, the Pet-Tek Dogwalk Mini installs into glass the same way and is rated to 13kg. We measure your cat’s shoulder height and width on the day rather than guessing from breed.

Cat Glass Door - Cat door for sliding door

 
If your household has more than one cat, or a neighbourhood cat that lets itself in, a microchip cat door reads your cat’s existing chip and stays locked to everything else. We also install timber cat doors and screen cat doors where the glass panel is not the right entry point.

Why Sydney Pet Owners Choose Sydney Paws Petdoor

Up to a 3-year warranty on every cat door installation. Pet door training is included at no extra cost, so Alex works with your cat on the day until it is using the flap confidently, which is the part most owners worry about. Same-day installation is available subject to availability, and every job is left clean.

I’m so happy with the quality of service and the product, it helped so much that Alex took the time to teach my cat, and me how to train my cat, to use the door. Summer was great on the lead up, answering all questions immediately over text. Thanks both!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Gemma! We’re really glad the door is working well and that both you and your cat got the hang of things with Alex’s training tips. Summer is always happy to help in the lead-up — we’ll pass on your lovely feedback to her too. Thanks again!
