Will this lock work for sliding, wooden closet doors? I have a very smart cat who has learned how to slide the doors open!

Just keep the lock high enough that the cat can't jump and swat it! Otherwise it should work fine.

I believe so! I used it on a painted particle board sliding closet door to keep kids out, so it will likely also stick to wood :)

Yes, it will. I have two dogs and two cats. The dogs go in and out, but the cats stay indoors. I think if I wanted to train the cats to go out, I could by putting tape over the magnets so there would be less resistance. But its fine with me that the cats stay in.

Absolutely. I can't get it open, and I tried. I bought this specific door to stop a cat that only opened the door by pulling with Its claws. When you push the pin down outside an internal one still doesn't disengage. Hope this helps it's expensive but a great door. It did take my skitterish cat about a week to get used to the noise it makes though so be ready for a little training.

Kay, I don't think the door will lock in training mode. But I, like you, just wanted a timed cat-door. For me it was to let the cats go out once the sun was up and lock them in once it got dark. I do not have any issues with animals (raccoons, opossum, chupacabra) trying to get in and because I have three cats and the chips were kinda big I simply taped a chip to the inside of the kitty door. This way when it is set to open there is always a chip close enough to activate it and the cat just has to push on it. Any cat can get in or out during the day and when it is set to close no one can leave (actually I only "close" it so the cats can't get out after dark, but after dark they can get in). I hope this is helpful for you. Red

NO, this will only work to secure the door from the inside. For example if your in your room (or a hotel room). One suggestion be sure you have the key handy in case you need to get out in a hurry. I hope this was helpfulCharlie

It works on a plastic slide with an embedded magnet that changes the sense from open to closed as it travels past a reed switch inside. If your door rattles and jerks as it raises it may be possible that the magnet in the slider passes past the reed switch inside. Or conversely, you may have installed it a bit high such that the slider is not is not fully going in to change the door indicator state.So first thing is to check your installation and make sure the slider is operating properly or not rattling along as the door opens.Pete

I'm not sure. It is loose on our bifold closet door at the end of the hallway and falls off sometimes if we open the door fast/hard enough. It moves a little even when it doesn't fall off so they could access whatever is on that side of the closet if it can fit through a 2 inch or so opening.

I can, because the cat door has a way of staying put, so it doesn't just fall out when you slide open a door. It has worked out well for me. I like the way you can control the in/out activity. I'd recommend the door.

You would have to reach around the open door to set the Jammer... I think that most cats would be able to get through a space large enough for you to fit your arm through so I don't think it would work.

Yes, my schlage house key slides into the lock just fine. I have not had the pins changed yet to match my house key. I installed the lock in some sliding doors in the rear guest house. I am happy with the lock for my application.

This would not work for a sliding or pocket door. I'm not familiar with other models. Good luck!

Yes it would. This is a great lock. If you broke in you would have to use a stick of dynamite. I will buy more.

It's supposed to fit all bi-fold doors. There's a plastic shim included for smaller sizes. It fits all my doors - closet, kitchen, etc. To slide - easier just to reach up and slide the thing over instead of using the handle. It does keep the doors closed - works very well. I use it to keep the cats out of the closets.

That I do not know. But our door is wooden and it did not work. I bought it to prevent my dogs from barking every time there is someone wagging their keys across the hall or walking their dogs across. Did not work. it just hangs there now.

Martha,I don't think this will work on your application. If you can invasion a hotel room door from inside the room. This lock will only wok in situations like this. I hope this was helpful. I travel and use this lock to insure my door. Take care,

Yes, I put one in our sliding door from Pella we got from Lowe's. It's not the greatest fit, but it should keep out burglars just looking for an unlocked door.

It does lock, but with enough force my cats can push it open anyways. We use it for the garage door since we keep their boxes there. So not really a problem for us. But i do not recommend it for exterior. If a cat can push it open, i bet a raccoon would find it elementary.
