For all out there confused with PVC waste pipe for Plumbing...Old code stated that it could be used in a residential building 3 stories or less (regardless of 1 or 2 family status). New code brings that up to 5 stories. Not to be nasty, but I wish the Plumbing Code advice on this blog would be left to the Plumbers who study the code!!

I assume there's no occasion when you're fully closing this door anymore. Since your doorframe is already notched to accommodate the door strike, screw an eye bolt, or eye bolt with ring through one of the exposed sections of the strike. Or remove the strike and put a screw eye into the existing hole. If you need to, put a U-bolt around the door knob, and then run shoelaces, chain, whatever between the two. Personally, I wouldn't want to look at that contraption on a regular basis, but it should work (until the dog figures out how to apply enough pressure to pull the screw from it's hole). The hinge pin door stop is a much more elegant solution.

Seems like the easiest thing to do is to tie a rope to the door handle and attach the rope to something, maybe a radiator, to have just enough give to leave the door open four inches.

Agreed, Brooklyn Plumber. Thanks. Yes, I knew that PVC waste had been allowed for 3 stories or less but it was the recent inclusion of Romex as well that surprised me. My building has a mix of cast iron & PVC. If you don't insulate around your PVC waste pipes, Pig three is right, it sucks because you hear all the water flowing down; not with cast iron.

Oig Three I can understand the open wall inspection issue with Romex due to the need to staple/attach properly and the protection required at each stud for nailing.

Just glad I can use Romex now for minor projects and still meet code.

I had the same problem AND one of my dogs enjoyed getting into the litter box too(gross, I know).... Anyway, put up a baby gate in the doorway and leave a few inches underneath so the cat can squeeze under, but the dog can't.

Dave, the noise is one of the main reasons we try to install cast iron instead of PVC (3 stories or less). For the difference in price, it's worth the quiet!!

146steven has the best idea - put your cat food up high.

Misty, our dog also goes into the litter box... (which is in the basement). I think we have narrowed down the possible solutions to:

using something even heavier as a door stopper;
wedging something in the hinge end;
baby gate;
eyelet lock system.

We had the same problem with our dog and cats.
We ordered heavy cast iron hook and eye latches.
The eye attaches to the *inside* of the door you want to keep open, and the hook attaches to *outside* door jamb.

Here's the url for what we ordered and is working beautifully:

Good luck!

I just joined and stumpled on this thread. I am an electrician so I wanted to correct erroneous postings. NM cable is approved for use in NYC under certain situations (1 or 2 family dwelling is one example) and does NOT require any different inspections than BX. In other word there is NOT an open walled inspection for romex.
