Dog Flaps

A professionally fitted dog flap gives your dog the freedom to move between your home and garden without relying on you to constantly open and close the door. Available in a range of sizes and styles, dog flaps can provide a convenient solution for everything from smaller breeds through to much larger dogs.

Choosing the correct size and installation method is particularly important with dog flaps, as the opening needs to be positioned at a comfortable height for your dog while remaining suitable for the construction of your door.

Choosing the Right Size Dog Flap

Dog flaps are available in a variety of sizes, so it is important to choose one that provides sufficient clearance for your dog without creating an unnecessarily large opening in the door.

The size required will depend on your dog’s height and build rather than simply its breed. We can advise on a suitable size and positioning before installation to ensure your dog can comfortably use the flap.

Dog Flaps for uPVC and Composite Doors

Dog flaps can be professionally installed into many types of uPVC and composite doors, subject to the construction and design of the door.
Before carrying out the work, we assess the proposed installation position to make sure the flap can be fitted safely and securely. The opening is then carefully cut and the dog flap installed to provide a neat, professional finish.

Dog Flaps in Glass Doors

Dog flaps can also be installed into suitable glazed doors and panels.

For double glazing, we don’t cut a hole into your existing sealed glass unit. Instead, a new toughened double-glazed unit is manufactured with the correctly sized aperture incorporated during manufacture. The replacement glass is then installed and the dog flap professionally fitted into the prepared opening.

Because dog flaps generally require a larger opening than cat flaps, suitability will depend on the size and configuration of the glazed panel. We can advise after seeing photographs of your door.

FAQs

Can a cat flap be installed in any type of door?

Cat flaps can be professionally installed into most types of doors, including uPVC doors, composite doors, wooden doors and glazed doors. They can also be fitted into suitable wall panels and other locations where a conventional door installation isn’t practical.

The installation method will depend on the construction and material of the door. At Coastal Cat Flaps, we assess the best position and fitting method to provide a neat, secure and professional cat flap installation while minimising disruption to the existing door.

Can you install a cat flap into double glazing?

Yes. We provide professional cat flap installation into double-glazed doors and windows. However, a hole cannot simply be cut into an existing toughened double-glazed unit, as this would cause the glass to shatter.

Instead, a new toughened double-glazed sealed unit is manufactured with the correctly sized hole incorporated during production. Once ready, the existing glass unit is removed and replaced with the new panel before the cat flap is professionally fitted. This provides a safe, neat and permanent solution without compromising the integrity of the glazing.

How long does cat flap installation take?

A straightforward cat flap installation into a uPVC, composite or wooden door can usually be completed during a single visit, with the fitting itself typically taking around one to two hours, depending on the door construction and type of cat flap being installed.

Installations into double glazing require additional preparation because a replacement sealed glass unit normally needs to be measured and manufactured before fitting. We can advise on the expected timescale when providing your quotation.

Do you fit dog flaps?

Yes. As well as specialist cat flap fitting, Coastal Cat Flaps also provides professional dog flap installation for suitable doors, panels and other locations.

Dog flaps are generally larger than cat flaps, so careful consideration needs to be given to the size and construction of the door and the appropriate flap for your dog. We can advise on a suitable installation and professionally fit the dog flap to provide your pet with convenient access to your home and garden.
