Since this option will allow other creatures or cats to enter your property, it's not at all ideal, though it can be enhanced to some degree by keeping the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your cat flap, stop them at once and request that they leave. A new cat flap cannot be mounted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Making a hole in your double glazing destroys not simply the security and strength of the panel, but it takes away the insulation properties as well. Your double glazing will be made unsafe, and it should not be done under any circumstances.

An experienced cat flap fitter will take measurements of your current double glazed pane and have a local Exeter glazing company knock up a new purpose made pane. To ensure that the cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new double glazed pane will be provided with a hole pre-cut as a part of its construction. You might have a 1 or 2 week waiting period for this to be made, but if it's necessary to have a cat flap installed into an existing patio or double glazed door, this is really the only way to do it. Once you've acquired your new pane of glass, the old one can be removed and the new one installed. It will now be possible to install and set up the cat flap.
