People Also Ask
How do I install a cat door in a sliding glass door?
First, measure and mark the cut-out based on your cat door’s template. Use a glass cutter or consult a professional glazier to cut a panel. Secure the cat door frame and flap according to instructions, sealing edges with the provided foam or sealant to prevent drafts.
Is a clear flap better than opaque?
Clear flaps reduce pet anxiety by allowing visibility on both sides. Cats and small dogs can see potential hazards or stimuli before committing to entering or exiting.
Can doggie doors be weatherproof?
Yes—weatherproof cat doors use seals, brush strips, and durable materials like ABS and PVC to block wind, rain, and temperature extremes. Look for units with external rain guards and tight closure flaps.
What size cat door do I need?
Measure your pet’s height and width—add 1–2″ for comfortable passage. This model’s 7.9″×8.7″ inner opening suits most cats and small dog breeds up to 27.5 lbs and 24.8″ waist circumference.
Installation Guide
- Choose Location: Select a window or sliding door panel at pet height.
- Mark Cut-Out: Use included template to outline the opening.
- Cut Panel: For glass, hire a professional; for wood or metal, use appropriate saw or drill.
- Assemble Frame: Secure front and back panels around the cut-out with screws/anchors provided.

- Test Flap: Ensure smooth operation through all four modes before letting your pet use it.
Maintenance & Care Tips
- 🧼 Clean Flap: Wipe PVC flap with mild soap and water monthly to remove dirt and claws marks.
