I'm in the middle of a huge 4-week long reconstruction project and went through extensive measures to actually have a single room that I could keep the cats in, and one of my cats figured out how to open the door. I'd barricade it naively, but I need to constantly use that door to leave and piss and eat and go to work, so now I gotta do do temp barricades every time I enter or leave. Annoying.
No i can't replace the handles, I'm renting. I'm asking tho if I can buy and replace them.
maybe some sticky Velcro in the door jam, or magnets
