I wouldn't use a hinge because it's difficult to attach. I would use something like this https://www.amazon.com/DGOL-Stainless-Screw-Ceiling-Hanger/dp/B0928FRZVJ

And pinch it closed around the side of the grate.

Interesting. My boss just suggested something like this, too, but I was having a hard time imagining what he was suggesting. Thank you!

Any ideas of a latch or closure? I’d prefer it not be a hook latch, although that may be easiest. Maybe something magnetic or locking?

If it's magnetic, I think a smart cat will figure it out. A hook latch would be easy or even tying it to the doorhandle with a piece of string.

It depends on how much room you have for the lock and if you can close it with the lock in between.

Yeah-true. I guess it can just be kept latched with a hook latch and we just go in and out the other door. Ppl without pets are frequently bad about closing doors behind them, so I wanted something that would latch automatically.
