Abstract

A method of opening a door of a pet enclosure includes pushing a tab of a latch toward an interior of the pet enclosure with a first hand so that the door of the pet enclosure is vertically displaceable. The method further includes vertically lifting the door with a second hand so that a horizontal wire rod of the door is traversed in front of the tab. The method further includes rotating the door from a closed position to an opened position.
