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.

FAQs – Got Questions About Installing a Cat Door in Glass?

Yes, if your existing glass panel is laminated, we can cut and install the cat door on the spot without removing the glass from the frame. If it’s toughened (safety) glass, we’ll replace it with a custom-made panel designed to fit the door.

Absolutely. The Pet-Tek Catwalk is specifically designed for sliding glass doors and fits 99% of them. As long as there’s at least 0.8mm clearance between panels, the door will continue to slide normally.

We use the Pet-Tek Catwalk and other cat doors, which are translucent, circular flap made of UV-stabilised polycarbonate. It’s weather-sealed, secure, and blends in seamlessly with most modern glass doors and windows.

Yes, we can install glass cat doors in both glass doors and windows. We’ll assess your existing glass type and panel size to determine the most suitable solution.

Sydney Paws Petdoor made it easy for me to make contact and organise an appointment for installation with personalised service. Communication was excellent throughout. Work was also meticulous and neat with consideration to apartment surroundings. Pricing was very reasonable and I appreciate the time taken to explain how the pet door works and how I can train my pet to get used to it quickly . I would definitely recommend their service Thank you Alex!
Response from the owner:Thanks a lot, Yoges! We’re so happy you found the process easy, clear, and considerate of your space. Great to hear the training tips were helpful too. We really appreciate your thoughtful review and recommendation!

We have had a dog door for 20 years and it finally died. We didn’t know the brand and didn’t know what to do. We called Alex from Sydney Paws Petdoor. He asked for a couple of photos and from that, he knew the brand. He came out straight away, gave us a quote, a great price and arranged a time within the week to come out and install. Alex was on time, got the job done in record time. Installation was perfect and site left tidy. He is very friendly, responsive, reliable and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much Alex!

Really happy with our experience with Sydney Paws! Their pricing was competitive, they were transparent and clearly knew their stuff. The replacement glass is great quality. Allen was friendly, professional and did a fantastic job with the installation. Alex was also great to deal with and very responsive. They were really accommodating with the installation date, making sure we could have it done before we left for our holiday, which we really appreciated. No more having to get up and open the door for the dogs, they absolutely love it! Would definitely recommend Sydney Paws!
Response from the owner:Thank you for such a thorough review! Being upfront on pricing and knowing our product inside out is how we like to work, so it's great to hear that came through. We're always happy to work around your timing, and getting it sorted before your holiday was a no-brainer. No more playing doorman for the dogs now! We really appreciate the recommendation.

Alex installed our doggie door and it looks terrific (he even matched the paint colour on the outside) but most importantly our puppies took to it quite quickly after we did some training with them on how to use it. 100% recommend!!
Response from the owner:Thanks Amy! Matching the paint colour is one of those little things we reckon makes all the difference. So glad the puppies took to it quickly after a bit of training. Appreciate the recommendation!

Exceptional service, product and extremely quick turn around. Left an enquiry this morning. One hour later Alex called. 30 minutes later Allen installed my pups door in the crimsafe fly screen. Thanks so much. Might be back in winter for the glass door one too! One stoked owner. 😃
Response from the owner:Now that's the kind of turnaround we love! Enquiry in the morning, pup sorted by lunch. A crimsafe screen is a great spot for a pet door. So glad you're happy with it, and we'd be keen to sort the glass door one for you come winter. Thanks so much for the review! 😃

I had a great experience with Sydney Paws Petdoor. After I left a message on their website I received a call. I found the call very helpful and accommodating. They were out the next day and did a tremendous job. Both were very professional and punctual and I will be referring their company to others without hesitation .
Response from the owner:Thank you Jane, this means a lot. We try to make the whole process easy from that first phone call through to install. Really appreciate you referring us on.

We had put getting a pet door in the “too hard / too expensive” basket for a long time, but finally decided to go for it. Sydney Paws Pet Door were fantastic from the start. Super fast responding to our enquiry and getting a quote through, really reasonable pricing, and they were able to come out to the Central Coast in good time. It was installed today and we’re really happy with it. The product is great and actually looks really good too. Really happy we finally got it done. Great service, great product and definitely recommend!
Response from the owner:Love this Tim! So glad you finally pulled the trigger after it sat in the too hard basket. Good pet doors shouldn't cost the earth, and we're stoked you're happy with how it looks. Enjoy the Central Coast sunshine with the new setup!

Alex was awesome- professional and really skilled at installing and communicated the pros and cons of using different doors. Really loves and cares about what he does and spent the time to help us retrain a 14 year old dog who is semi blind and deaf to use the door in our new home we just moved into. I would have had no idea what to do had he left without helping me train Max. By the afternoon Max was using the door all by himself. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an installer who truly cares
Response from the owner:Thank you Jenny, what a kind review. Helping Max learn the door at 14, even semi blind and deaf, is exactly the sort of thing Alex loves doing. So happy he was using it by the afternoon. Give Max a pat from us!

Totally a 5 star service in every way! We had a medium pet door installed in our folding glass door and it looks awesome and works great. Alex and his team are such great guys to deal with and were happy to accommodate our personal needs as well providing excellent service, advice and tips for how to get our silly cat using the door properly. Really could not have asked for a better result. Thanks Alex and Allen!!!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Rich! A medium door in a folding glass door is a nice result, glad it looks and works great. And getting the silly cat sorted is a win in our book. Cheers from Alex and Allen!

8 months ago we had our pet door added to our house. Summer was amazing in getting our appointment arranged. Alex arrived on time and installed our new pet door quickly and efficiently. He gave us great training on how the door worked and patiently showed our fur babies how to use the door. Our boys use the door all the time, often at running speed. The door still looks great and is as strong as the day it was installed. Highly recommend Summer, Alex and the team for your pet door solutions.
Response from the owner:Thank you Pamela! Eight months on and still going strong at running speed says a lot about a good install. The team appreciate the shout out. Enjoy the freedom, boys!
Excellent job done Alex. Thank you for the lovely services
Response from the owner:Thank you, Shyamalee! We really appreciate your kind words — Alex will be so pleased to hear you’re happy with the service. It was a pleasure helping you! 🐾

Alex, Sunmer and the team were outstanding to deal with. Very responsive and accommodating, with a high quality installation (glass replacement as well as installation of pet door through a wooden door). No request was too hard – highly recommended!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Holly! We’re so glad you had a great experience. It was a pleasure helping with both the glass and timber install, and we really appreciate your kind words about the team. Thanks for the recommendation!
