Locks for Vision cages

tommyboy Jun 06, 2004 10:14 PM

What do you all use? I tried the cheap jewelry case locks from the hardware store but no luck. They just dont attach securely enough. I am housing venomous in these and need something I can rely on. Thanks for any help you can offer.

get some epoxy , place a dab of epoxy on the plastic foot of the lock then tighten it doen on the glass that will hold the lock from sliding off

My glass guys have it and its made for that exact reason to bond to glass.Another option would be to use a course gringing whel and grind a indention into the rear glass and they removw the plastic foot from the lock , then get you some "tool dip" aka liquid plastic.thiswould give you a grip in the glass.If youwant to spend a little bit more for a much more secure locking device i can get you one like this

These run about $25.00 shipped THIS ISNT A SOLICITATION but offering a solution to someone asking for a secure way to lock a cage
