Holds pocket doors mostly closed with just enough room for most cats to get through, originally designed for our litterbox room to prevent our dogs from getting in. 

Option 1 vs option 2:
Arm 1 has a nub that sticks past the edge of the door for easy grabbing but prevents door from being able to close 100% (use Door Plate 1)

Arm 2 sits completely within dimensions of door and will allow door to fully close (use Door Plate 2)

Requires:

  • Short countersunk screws w/ head diameter between 5mm to 6.85mm (0.197 to 0.27in) [x4 for option 1, x5 for option 2]

  • One countersunk screw (as above) that is at least 14mm/0.55in long for the arm hinge

  • If you want your pocket door to still fully open (slide completely into the wall) ensure it has an airgap of at least 7.5mm

Install:
Arm models have a thin wall where the hinge piece goes. This is only there to improve first layer quality & adhesion. It is to be cut out/removed after printing

Door plates mount on the door all the way at the edge (see photos) - Door Plate 2 mounts with the "hinge hole" pointing away from the edge of the door.

Fully install arm first, then use it to align the catch. Arm should be level/horizontal when latched.
