Of course, you can enjoy the small moments of letting your cat in or out, but you can also treat the both of you 😊 to the comfort of a quality cat flap. A well-designed cat flap gives your pet independence while keeping your home comfortable, quiet and insulated – an important benefit for many homes across the UK.
A cat flap made of wood & rubber is:
The wood on the cat flap ensures that the soft rubber will always keep its shape and the flap remains draught-free for years! By the way, our cat 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 cat 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.
Not a cat door with microchip detection because delicate locking mechanisms do not guarantee the durability we have in mind with our cat doors. Still, the same result: no strange cats in the house.
A cat door with a transparent flap invites strange cats to come in, but the Tomsgates cat flap is not transparent: a strange cat will not see the black flap with wooden slats as an entrance but as a grille, decoration, … and will pass by.
And for your cat, it is her own safe secret door. So simple.
Each cat 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 cat safely inside and protect against burglary.
By using wood on the flap, our cat door is also less conspicuous in your door or wall than a plastic door. 
Tomsgates cat 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 cat flaps are designed to make no squeaking noises and we have no locks that snap shut … quiet !
Thought-through cat flaps that will make a big difference to your sleep and that of your neighbours 😴
