What types of cat flaps for glass doors are there?
When choosing a cat flap for glass doors, consider your pet’s habits and your home’s setup. From simple manual models to smart microchip flaps, each type offers a balance of freedom and security. Here’s a breakdown of the different types of cat flaps often used in glass doors:
| Type | |
|---|---|
| How it works | A basic flap with a manual 4-way lock (open, locked, in-only, out-only) |
| Security level | Basic |
| Type | Magnetic flap |
| How it works | A sensor or switch inside the flap detects the magnet in your cat’s collar and unlocks when in range |
| Security level | Moderate |
| Type | |
| How it works | Uses your cat’s microchip or a special collar tag to allow selective entry and block stray animals. Most models support multiple pets |
| Security level | High |
| Type | Smart flap |
| How it works | Advanced microchip cat flap with app control, allowing remote locking, notifications, and programmable curfews |
| Security level | Very high |
Type | How it works | Security level |
|---|---|---|
A basic flap with a manual 4-way lock (open, locked, in-only, out-only) | Basic | |
Magnetic flap | A sensor or switch inside the flap detects the magnet in your cat’s collar and unlocks when in range | Moderate |
Uses your cat’s microchip or a special collar tag to allow selective entry and block stray animals. Most models support multiple pets | High | |
Smart flap | Advanced microchip cat flap with app control, allowing remote locking, notifications, and programmable curfews | Very high |
Tip: If you live in a multi-cat household or an area with frequent visits from stray animals, microchip cat flaps are a great choice. They allow selective entry by using RFID cat collar tags, helping ensure only your cat can come and go. If your door contains metal, check the product specifications, as metal may affect microchip reader performance.

Can a cat flap for glass doors also be installed in glass windows?
Installing a cat flap through glass windows is entirely possible. Many owners opt for this solution when space is limited or when a more discreet installation is preferred. Whether you’re installing a microchip cat flap or perhaps an innovative smart cat flap, the process is very similar to fitting a cat flap in glass doors.
Tip: If you're considering a cat flap for French doors or large glass windows, planning ahead is essential. Because most glass can’t be modified after manufacture, the glass pane typically needs to be replaced with one that has a pre-cut hole tailored to your chosen cat flap model.
