Reply to comment by The-waitress- in Trying to attach a 2x8 grid panel to the frame of a French door to use as a cat-proof gate. I would like it to be on a hinge so it can open and close. Since the panel has 4’’x4’’ openings in the grates, what kind of a hinge should I get? by The-waitress-

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.

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.

First, you will need to remove the wheels and see if they are bolts.

If they are bolts, measure their width to get their size and replace them with something like this. https://www.meubelpootjes.be/plastic-ronde-meubelpoot-6-cm-m8-k000381

If they are not bolts, see if you can replace them by removing the black inserts in the bottom beams.

An easy/reversable solution would be: If you don't need the wheels, you could put some larger risers in those holes.

More difficult: assuming both legs are hollow, you could cut them near the top. Then you could try to find a small rod that fits into them that you can secure with some bolts drilled through. But be careful because it can affect the stability of the table.
