Note: OnlyCat® is ideal for mounting single or double-glazed windows. If you need to have a hole cut in a window, please ask a qualified glazer to do it, as cutting glass is a skilled job. If you need to get a hole cut in your hole, a circular hole with a diameter 212mm (8 ⅜”) is the ideal size. A mounting adapter is available to complete an installation in glass and is suitable for covering holes from 210mm (8 ¼”) to 260mm (10 ¼”) in diameter. If an adaptor larger than 260mm is required, please reach out to our OnlyCat® team and we will try to provide support.
Step 1:
A circular hole 212mm in diameter is required to accommodate the tunnel.
Step 2:
If installing the OnlyCat® cat flap in a double-glazed panel you may choose to seal between the panels around the circular hole to avoid moisture collecting inside. Do not use metal in the seal.
Step 3:
We recommend running a bead of ‘All Weather Sealant’ around the edge of the hole on both sides of the glass. The sealant will help secure the cat flap in place after installation and help to prevent moisture getting in from the outside
Step 4:
Slide one of the mounting adaptor rings over the main body.
Step 5:
From inside the house, slide the tunnel of the main body through the hole in the glass.
Step 6:
From the outside, mount the second part of the mounting adaptor and the external frame. Be sure to wear protective gloves when working with glass as the edges may be sharp.
Step 7:
Screw the two halves together. If mounting in a single pane, use the shortest of the screws. A double-glazed panel may require the mid-sized screw depending on its thickness.
Step 9:
From the inside, you will now see your cat’s stylish new entrance.
