Cat doors Adelaide
Cat flaps fitted into glass, designed for how cats actually use them.
Cats and dogs may sometimes fight like, well, cats and dogs, and cats often don't get along with dog doors either.
M.C Glass & Glazing are specialists when it comes to installing cat doors, and we understand the differences between cats and dogs that matter when it comes to what they need from a pet door.
A typical dog door can be difficult for a cat to use, or they may just not like using it at all. If you live with a cat, you should consider installing a cat flap with M.C Glazing. There are a few important differences between dog doors and cat doors, and no, it doesn't just come down to size.
Differences between dog and cat doors
- Cat doors are usually transparent. While some dog doors may be see-through too, most cats don't like to use a door if they can't see where they're going.
- Cat doors are wider for their size, as cats tend to have a wider frame than dogs.
- Many dog doors are made from a flexible material, but these can drag along a cat's back. Cats far prefer a pet door made from a rigid material.
- Cat doors often feature easy locking mechanisms that let you keep your cat indoors overnight. Many dog doors instead have locking mechanisms suited to occasional use, such as when you're away on holiday.
M.C Glazing will help you choose the best place to install your cat door, both for your cat's needs and yours. Installing a cat door in a glass door or window requires the glass to be toughened glass to comply with Australian Standard AS1288, and we can help you determine this prior to installation.
We can also install toughened glass doors and windows if you'd like to install a cat door into glass. See our replacement windows page for more information.

FAQs
Questions about cat doors
Why not just use a dog door for my cat?
Many cats won't use a dog door. Cat doors are transparent, rigid and the right shape for a cat, so they're far more likely to actually use it.
Can you fit a cat door into glass?
Yes. We fit cat doors into glass doors and windows. The glass needs to be toughened to meet AS1288, which we can supply if needed.
Can a cat door be locked?
Yes. Most cat doors we fit have a locking option, so you can keep your cat indoors overnight or when you need to.
How do I train my cat to use a cat door?
Cats usually learn with a bit of patience and a treat or two on each side. Holding the flap open at first helps them feel comfortable going through.
Where's the best place to fit a cat door?
Somewhere your cat already likes to come and go, at the right height for them. We'll help you pick the best spot when we install it.
