Kitty Korner Cat Door Righthand Kit - Patented SlideLock Hinge

In this review the Kitty Korner Cat Door Righthand Kit is assessed for homeowners who want a discrete interior cat door that preserves privacy and keeps dogs out of litter or feeding areas. The single biggest reason to buy is the patented SlideLock hinge that locks the door open or closed and slides up away from the floor, letting the door operate without a bottom strike or a loose flap. Installation requires careful placement but the finished result is a tidy, built-in access point for cats that keeps rooms smelling fresher and bedrooms usable with the door closed.

Key Features

• Patented SlideLock hinge: A purpose-built hinge converts a standard interior door into a cat door that locks in both open and closed positions for controlled access.
• Locks open or closed: The interlocking hinge knuckles let you decide when the cat may pass while keeping the door securely closed to humans or dogs.
• Slides up and away: The hinge mechanism lifts the pivot point so the door swings without striking the floor like a conventional hinge would.
• Works on hollow and solid doors: The design accommodates common interior residential doors so the product fits most home setups.
• Restores privacy: Use it to hide litter boxes or prevent dog access to cat food while still allowing feline freedom.
• Discrete appearance: The unit integrates into the door edge for a neat look compared with flap-style cat doors.

Who It's For

This kit is for cat owners who want a permanent, tidy solution to allow cats through interior doors without installing a flap in the door surface. It is especially useful where privacy, odor control, or keeping dogs out of a room matters, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, or bedrooms.

It is not ideal for those who want a simple stick-on or magnetic flap; installation requires precise placement and some comfort with following a template. People who expect tool-free mounting or frequent repositioning should look at other portable options.
