And here's another method I came up with on my own. This is a 29-gal and I needed something very secure at the time. I got a piece of plexi the size of the top, made the air holes, and then made a frame for the plexi out of 1" aluminum angle (also sourced from home supply). I glued two hinges to the back with a two-part adhesive and screwed the hinges to the plexi/frame, and then added the lock/hasp to the front with the same adhesive. The aluminum frame was necessary because that large piece of plexi was too flexible and could be pushed up at the corners. Now the cage is escape-proof and tamper-proof with a lock on it.
