Re: OT: Emergency - catflap fitting - how ??

["Neil J. McRae" <neil@xxxxxxx>]

Note that you cannot do this with safety glass it will shatter into
a million peices. I used a Glazier and had a new peice of glass installed
with the hole already cut. Although this ended up being smashed by the cat!
We then put in a peice of matching white PVC with the catflap in the bottom
half of the door. [ This was recommended to us by another glazier ].

Regards,
Neil.
