This picture is of our back door entry. In one space you can enter or exit the outdoors, garage and basement. Unfortunately it was common for the basement door to be open with cats sliding up and down the basement stairs, preventing us from getting in from the outdoors or garage. We had discussed switching the garage door so it opened into the garage but the garage is small and the door would hit the car. We thought about opening the door into the basement but either it would cover the railing or light switch. I was about to agree to Greg's idea of a bifold door (despite my dislike for them) when he came up with the final solution: a commercial door closer. It keeps the door cracked about 4" so that cats can get in and out of the basement but it won't allow the door to swing open. The perfect solution. Way to go Greg. Another good thing about this project? It kept Greg from returning to the attic to work on the exhaust fan vent. I say it's still too hot!
