To add on to this idea, we raised the half door just high enough for the cat to squeeze through but dog couldn't. We didn't want my elderly cat to have to jump to basement side with the stairs right there.

It would already be prepared for the hinges. It really works for us.

i know someone who did the screen door for a baby. that boy was a climber. he could climb over anything. even 2 babygates stacked wouldn't keep him in one place. that's why the screen door. seeing him climb up the double gate really scared them. that is the only way they kept him in his room at night.
