Hi , Does anybody know how to cut an opening in a folding mirrored door? The door is glass. I want to put a cat door in it.

Laser......1000watt minmum. Cheaper to get rid of the cat :)

No, seriously, you most likely can't......the glass of the mirror is probably tempered since it goes so low to the floor, and you can't cut glass once it has been tempered. Even if it wasn't, you have a REAL hard time cutting an "opening" like you're wanting.

Like Andy said, the glass is probably tempered. You won't cut it if it is. Look in each of the 4 corners -- pretty sure you will find the "bug" telling you it's tempered.

Put the pet door in the wall next to this door.
