Sarah Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Don't about you but my two are constantly in and out all night lol i don't mind having the back door open all night but a certain pain in the arse who i will not name doesn't like the cold so i'm up and down all night opening and closing the back door for them. I'm thinking of getting a dog flap but wondered if anyone else has one or has had one in the past?? If so, where did you get it from and was / is it any good??

sammie Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 i have looked at them before now, but decided where we live it isn't a great idea because it is so big, it would cause a massive weakness in security, allowing a potential burgular to gain access.

Mistyrayn Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 only prob with a dog flap is that its big enough for your average burgular........... me personally would rather get cold or open the door for them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninooks mum Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 you have to think of the door flap from security too Sarah as the insurance company would null and void it if you did get broken into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISDW Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 We have a dog flap, but we do live in the middle of nowhere, and a burglar would have to get past the 9 plus dogs first. We had one in London though, and it was great. Regarding security, I think that if someone wants to get in, they're going to find a way. Just as easy to smash a window as to crawl through a dog flap, but it would probably have insurance implications alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 We have a dog flap big enough for a mastiff and security isn't an issue!!! It has a lockable metal insert to put in when you aren;t around which actually makes it more secure than the crappy pvc that's in your door as standard... Most UPVC doors only require one swift kick and any burglars would be in and besides most get in via your front door by hooking your keys from where you left them on the stairs/side table etc or using a small drill bit and coming through your front door or windows. If they are accessing your house from the back door through a re-inforced lockable steel door you have more security problems than you think.... Dog flaps aren't a problem and are very very useful!! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrod Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Some dog doors also have a lock on them. The dog wears a special remote that unlocks the dog when they get near. So that might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
