Surely you enjoy the grateful doggy eyes as you play doorman/woman, but you can treat the both of you 😊 to the comfort of a quality dog door. A well-designed dog door gives your pet independence while keeping your home comfortable, secure and insulated – an important balance for many homes in the UK.
A wood & rubber dog flap is:
The wood on the flap ensures that the soft rubber will always keep its shape and the flap remains draught-free for years! By the way, our dog doors for installation in walls have two flaps: one on the outside wall and one on the inside wall. This creates an insulating layer of air between the two flaps … very comfortable.
And if the wind gets too high, there’s the solid wooden locking door that comes as standard. Then the dog door is sure to be shut tight, even in the worst weather.
On top of all that, wood is a natural insulator so the door won’t feel cold at all.
Our dog flaps are designed for your dogs to sprint in and out very enthusiastically.
Are we sure ? The first 5 years you get the replacement flap for free !
Each dog door comes with a 2 cm thick solid wooden night door that locks securely with a steel lock. You can be sure that door will keep your pet safely inside and protect against burglary.
By using wood on the flap, our doggie door is also less conspicuous in your door or wall than a plastic door. And because of the non-transparent flap, a strange cat will not see it as an entrance.
Tomsgates doors have a smooth, quiet closing action thanks to the soft rubber-on-rubber closure, so there’s no rattling noice.
The hinges of our doggie doors are designed to make no squeaking noises and we have no locks that snap shut … quiet !
