Reply to comment by dark-archon in Trying to attach a 2x8 grid panel to the frame of a French door to use as a cat-proof gate. I would like it to be on a hinge so it can open and close. Since the panel has 4’’x4’’ openings in the grates, what kind of a hinge should I get? by The-waitress-

Any ideas of a latch or closure? I’d prefer it not be a hook latch, although that may be easiest. Maybe something magnetic or locking?

If it's magnetic, I think a smart cat will figure it out. A hook latch would be easy or even tying it to the doorhandle with a piece of string.

It depends on how much room you have for the lock and if you can close it with the lock in between.

Yeah-true. I guess it can just be kept latched with a hook latch and we just go in and out the other door. Ppl without pets are frequently bad about closing doors behind them, so I wanted something that would latch automatically.
