Summary: We provide a short proof of a classical result of \textit{P. W. Kasteleyn} [Graph Theory Theor. Phys., 43--110 (1967; Zbl 0205.28402)], and prove several variants thereof. One of these results has become key in the parametrization of positroid varieties, and thus deserves the short direct proof which we provide.
