Questions & Answers

Does a dog flap affect home insurance?
For example, installing a cat or dog flap for your four-legged friend may deem your back door as less secure; if you fail to mention this change to your insurer this could then invalidate your insurance policy.

Is it worth getting a dog flap?
This is particularly useful if you work long hours. Keeps your dog stimulated – Having a dog flap can combat boredom for many dogs. They'll also get stimulation from the sights, sounds and smells of being outside.

Are dog flaps a security risk?
In most cases, no. Most dog doors aren't typically prime targets for burglars, especially since most pet doors are not big enough for a person to squeeze through. Many pet doors are also low enough to the ground that many adults cannot reach up to undo your door's lock from the outside

Can you put a dog flap in a glass door in the UK?
So, the only way to install a new cat or dog flap is to replace the glass panel with a new one. In your new panel of glass, the hole for the pet door is cut before the tempering process, allowing it to fit the specs we need while being as safe as any other glass door you may buy off the shelf.

Can you put a dog flap in a uPVC door?
Available in a range of sizes and colours, our pets doors are suitable for all door types, including glass, wood, composite, uPVC and metal.

What is the disadvantage of a doggie door?
Doggie doors are exit points for small children: Older toddlers can, all too easily, mimic the way your dog gets in and out of them and, if left unsupervised, escape just as easily into the backyard with potentially dangerous consequences.

How do I choose a dog flap?
1: WIDTH. Measure the widest part of your pet, the chest or hips.
2: HEIGHT. Measure your pet from the top of the shoulders to the bottom of the chest or belly, whichever is the tallest part.
3: SELECT SIZE.
IMPORTANT: Remember to allow for your pet's future growth.
*The flap opening sizes listed represent the smallest.

Are dog flaps draughty?
Regular pet doors can be drafty and let in a lot of cold air from the outside, with an electronic door this issue is eliminated as the flap can only open when needed. This make a huge difference if you want to be energy efficient.

Is it safe to have a doggie door?
Potential burglars can use dog doors as an easy access point into your home. However, dog doors are generally small, and it is quite difficult for an adult to squeeze through, but not impossible. Intruders are more likely to peek their heads through the door to get a clear view inside.

Can you lock a dog flap?
Yes, you can manually lock the doggie door. Each door has a manual mechanism that overrides the automatic one. That way, you retain full control over when your dog can come and go. Manual locking is ideal for when you're away from home and don't want to leave the door open for visitors.
