You do enjoy opening the door for your pet, but still, sometimes you think it would be so much more comfortable if they had a pet door they could use to come in and go out on their own. Installing a pet flap in a glass door, wooden door or uPVC door allows your pets to move around naturally while reducing the need to constantly open and close the door yourself.
But plastic cat flaps and dog doors have a bad reputation of being very uncomfortable: draught, flapping noises, not secure against burglars, not insulated, etc. Many traditional plastic pet doors can also wear out quickly, leading to poor sealing and constant replacement of the flap.
Then have a look at our alternative for cat flaps and dog doors in our shop. You will probably discover something you will both 😊 enjoy for years. Our wooden pet doors are designed to provide durability, quiet operation and insulation that lasts for years.
And, talking about comfort: our pet doors for walls have a double flap, one on the inside wall and one on the outside wall. In between is a massive wooden tunnel, highly insulating. This construction creates an insulating air layer that helps prevent heat loss and reduces draughts when the door is used frequently.
As standard, all our cat flaps and dog flaps are supplied with a closing door that is nearly 2 cm thick. Then everything is closed tightly! This strong closing panel allows you to secure the pet door whenever necessary, for example during the night or when your pet should remain indoors.
And do you also want the comfort of having the pet door installed? In many countries we are happy to fit it for you, but it has been developed so that you can easily install it yourself. A fun project for a DIYer. Many homeowners across the UK choose to install their pet door themselves, while others prefer professional installation for glass doors or external walls.
‘Let us DIY a dog door‘, we decided in the 1990s.
We needed a solid dog door for our large dogs that would keep out the cold and draught. But it also had to be suitable for our small pets. Such a dog flap and cat door did not exist, so we decided to make it ourselves. This practical need led to the development of a durable and insulated pet door design.
We did not want a door with a chip, because our pets could become frustrated when they got trapped without any apparent reason. It did get a night door that locks with a steel lock, so that dogs and cats can be kept inside in a secure manner and as protection against burglars.
In the beginning, our pets destroyed many doors. We replaced a number of flaps, but our rubber flap with strips ended up lasting for years. An unexpected advantage of rubber was that the flap closes quietly, with a sigh :-)
In 2014 we patented our design and styled it nicely in insulating wood. In the meantime, our cat flaps and dog doors are being sold in 39 countries and you can order it online here in all sizes. In some countries you can have your pet door installed by us, but we designed it so that you can easily fit it yourself.

Today our pet doors are used by pet owners who want a reliable, insulated and secure alternative to standard plastic pet flaps.

Being able decide for itself to enter & leave the nest is just as natural for an animal as it is for us with our home.
And yet …. leaving the nest can be difficult because of a sense of insecurity about the outside, or: like a mother straightening a child’s jacket before it goes out, your dog or cat is used to the reassuring ritual of you opening the door and thereby signalling that it’s okay to go outside.
It’s hard to predict, but it’s possible that your pet is not immediately comfortable with the dog door or cat flap and therefore needs a little assistance. With a little patience and encouragement, most pets quickly learn to use their new pet door confidently.
