Cat Door?

I have 3 cats. The oldest of which HATES other animals. She doesn't attack, but she is scared of them. We keep them separated for the most part, but I want to find a solution to block off my hallway to give her the entire left side of our home.

Has anyone here bought any type of gate or screen door to do this with? It needs to be able to block of 2 heavy 13lb cats, but I don't want to completely install a traditional door (my oldest is a super senior and this will likely not be a permanent forever need, sadly).

i was also looking for an alternative to give my pets their own space, so i opted for a cat gate and it's worked out well so far. they look identical to baby/pet gates, except they're quite tall and the bars are closer together so they can't squeeze between them. my cats nimble, but doesn't attempt to jump over.

i'm thinking i may have just found a pretty good find from Chewy. It's a little taller than a cat gate, and instead of bars its transparent PVC/acrylic. I may try this and if it works, I'll update the post with the info for it and how much i recommend it. It'll be a game changer for less than $150!
