Ok, after taking a look, I would say that the best course would be to get some angle iron or angle aluminum the length of the cage. You would want to screw that into the melanine on the top and bottom. The width would need to be an inch or half inch wider than the melamine so it overlaps the door area and provides a wider blockage than the channels the door sits in.

The inner door should be no issue for you, as the outer door will block it from coming out of the track. The outer door has no backup to hold it in, and creating that extra lip would keep it from being forced off track. No snake is going to exert that much force just to move a door, unless you're keeping eastern indigos.

All you will need is a power drill, the right size of drill bit, screws, and about $15 worth of angle metal. If you wanted to, you could even do the metal all the way around the front; a black cage with a silver front rim would look sexy. Just cut the metal corners to the right measurements, and enjoy some snake bling.

Lemme know what you think, and if we need onother solution, I'll try to help out.
