Horrible things.


But useful if space is restricted, beggers to hang though.

But sounds like it's not fitted quite right, as it ought to 'flip' shut


All depends on how well hung it is. The OP doesn' say if he fitted a
runner at the top to keep the outer edge in the frame of if it just
swings free.

Making it secure will be tricky as it can be simply pushed, or
pulled, in the middle to draw an ordinary bolt/latch out of it's
housing in the jamb. The door needs to be made rigid to prevent this.
