Hi all,
Really hoping someone will be able to help me out, I am trying to install a cat flap into a upvc door- something I though would have been quite straightforward!
I had a suspicion it would have metal inside as I think it is from around the 1970s , sure enough when I drilled the first hole (dewalt hammer drill) I felt it hit some kind of metal- I can't get through it at all having snapped a bit and pushed as hard as I can (borderline ruined the door). I drilled a larger hole in the middle of where the flap will go so I could have a look inside and there is what looks like metal with a shiny surface? It also seems to have broken as I can now hear it rattling Inside the door. Searching online people seem to think this should be easy to drill through but I cannot manage it.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
Tom
