Can you install a cat door in my glass sliding door?

Absolutely! We specialise in cat doors for sliding glass doors, ensuring a seamless, professional fit that maintains your home's aesthetics. Glass doors require expert handling, but our trained installers cut, fit, and seal the cat door securely without compromising the integrity of your glass panel. Whether you live in a modern apartment with glass balcony doors or have large sliding doors leading to your backyard, we provide the perfect solution.

I’m worried about other animals sneaking in - how can I prevent that?

No one wants to wake up and find a random stray cat, possum, or even a rat in their home! If security is a concern, our microchip cat doors are the perfect solution. These doors only open for your cat’s registered microchip, ensuring that only your pet can use it. We once had a customer who kept finding her neighbour’s cat sleeping on her couch! After installing a microchip cat door, that stopped immediately. Your home should be exclusively for your pet—and our solutions ensure that’s the case.

My cat is scared of new things—will they actually use the door?

Many cats hesitate at first, but with the right approach, they quickly learn to love it. Here’s how to help your feline adjust: 🐾 Prop the door open initially to remove any resistance. 🐾 Use treats or toys to encourage them to explore. 🐾 Reward them with praise or food when they step through. 🐾 Place their litter box or food bowl near the door so they associate it with comfort. One of our clients thought her 12-year-old senior cat would never use the door—within a week, she was confidently zipping in and out!

I rent my home—are there non-permanent options for cat doors?

Yes! Our cat doors for sliding doors include removable panel options, making them perfect for renters. These panels sit within the door track, requiring no drilling or permanent modifications. We had a customer who was moving every 6 months for work—they loved that they could take their cat door with them instead of reinstalling a new one at each location.

Will my cat door affect my home’s energy efficiency?

No! Our high-quality cat doors come with tight weather seals to prevent drafts, keep heat in during winter, and block out the summer heat. One of our customers, worried about air conditioning loss, said: "I thought my energy bills would go up, but I haven’t noticed a difference at all!" If you want extra insulation, consider a microchip cat door—its snug flap closure provides an even better seal against temperature changes.

Can multiple cats use the same microchip cat door?

Yes! Our microchip cat doors can store multiple pet profiles, making them perfect for multi-cat households. For example, if you have: 1. One indoor cat and one outdoor cat, you can set restrictions so only one has access. 2. A slow-moving senior cat and an energetic kitten, they can both be programmed separately for their schedules. We helped a customer with five cats, and each one had custom access settings—no more accidental midnight escapes!

I have a security screen—can you install a cat door in it?

Yes! We offer cat doors for security screens that allow your feline to move freely while maintaining home security. Our modifications keep your screen door strong and durable, so your home stays protected. One of our clients wanted her cat to access the patio but was worried about compromising security—our solution gave her peace of mind while keeping her cat happy.

What if my cat is older or has mobility issues?

For senior cats or those with arthritis, we customise installations to make entry easier. Instead of a high or tight opening, we can: - Lower the door height for easy step-in access. - Widen the entry point for larger or less agile cats. - Use an extra-soft flap that doesn’t require much effort to push through. One customer with a 14-year-old arthritic cat told us, “This was the best decision for my fur baby—now she can go outside without struggling.”

How long does cat door installation take?

Most cat door installations are completed within a couple of hours, depending on your door type. ● Timber & screen doors – Quick and easy. ● Glass doors – Require more precision cutting but still completed in one visit. We ensure a fast, professional installation with minimal disruption to your day.

Will a cat door ruin the look of my home?

Not at all! Our custom cat door solutions are designed to be discreet, stylish, and seamlessly integrated into your home’s architecture. - Glass doors? Our sleek transparent designs blend in beautifully. - Timber doors? We match the finish for a natural look. - French doors? A stylish fit to maintain elegance. One of our customers, hesitant about aesthetics, couldn’t even notice the cat door after installation!
