Bi-fold door lock thingamajig

I reside with cats that are cunningly clever, possessing an abundance of time to ponder and reflect on their surroundings as they contemplate the same thoughts that occupy my mind. One of these astute felines has taught its companions how to skillfully open bi-fold doors. The experience is quite frustrating for me. As a result, I have created a unique design for a bifold door lock. This creation is distinctly mine. Two versions are available: one with a 4mm hole on the handle that allows for a piece of string or ribbon to be tied to it, serving as a visual indicator to guests not to accidentally pull on a locked door and potentially damage the door or lock. The channel width is 37mm. March 14, 2016, I updated this design. Initially, printing the version with the hole proved challenging, requiring multiple attempts by more than one person before successfully creating the part without it shattering.
