Depending on the section in which you cut the "half" you *might* need
to add a little reinforcing to an edge perhaps. If it's going to be
used say as a hatch to see through and not allow small children into
another area (The kitchen) you might like to add a small shelf to one
side to act as a serving ledge

Arrg! I can see a tragedy to come there! Hot food on a plate on the shelf as
dear delightful Dora tries to stand up and grabs or pushes the plate of
food!
