Questions & Answers
I'd say around four. 6 in. They're great because you can program them with your own code, so if you have several, you can program them all to the same code. At Girl Scout Summer Camp, we had a few tanks to lock.
Plastic and metal are both acceptable materials, but this isn't the point. They don't last long, so invest in a cable luggage lock instead. It's a tight fit, but it's not going to fall apart.
I'm not sure about the mini, but each plastic door mechanism on my 18x18 has a hole in it. It is in good condition.
3 to 3 is the closest I can get. 5 mm.
Selected User Reviews For Exo Terra Terrarium Lock
Use this to secure my snake tank while I'm away, in case there's an unannounced apartment inspection and I don't want some jerk messing with my pet. You never know what might happen. It serves as a deterrent. br> Some reviews claim that this is not the highest-security lock available. I just use the default combination and change the numbers around. When people see a lock, they are less likely to try to break it open. Toddlers will be unable to comprehend it. It'll be impossible for your cat to figure out what's going on. Sure, someone could just guess the obvious combination or cut the damn thing with whatever tool they had on hand. That's not the point, though. The point is to say, "Look at me, I'm a fearsome lock, it's not worth your time to mess with me," and it's a sure fit with exoterra tank door mechanisms. It accomplishes the task.
I'm not sure what type of lock an exoterra cage should have, but this isn't it. This will not help if you use it to prevent a child from leaving the door ajar. The door latch can still be opened, and the doors are wide enough to allow any size snake or lizard to escape. This could be useful if you own a pet store and want to discourage theft by making it impossible for a thief to reach in and take an animal. We're just worried that our tree boa might escape and injure our baby, so we'd like to keep it locked. Because the baby has already touched the latch, it's entirely possible that a toddler could unlatch the cage and leave it open.
The front doors can still open wide enough for my entire hand to pass through. I hoped that this would prevent my toddler from opening the cage but this item is 100% ineffective and a zip tie would work better.
Petsmart gave me this lock for my Thrive 40gal terrarium, and it works perfectly. You can still open the doors 3 inches until the cable tightens and they won't open any further, as others have mentioned. It's primarily to prevent my children from causing harm to the Bearded Dragon.
This lock was absolutely flawless. My only gripe is that if the numbers aren't in the exact right place, it won't open, and the numbers spin easily, making it easy to knock one out of alignment when opening.
I purchased three of these, two of which were simple to set up and operate. The third issue was that the code no longer functioned after I had set it. So far, I've got two that work and one that refuses to unlock despite the fact that the code has been entered.
I bought two of these to protect my lizards. I was able to change the combination without difficulty the first time around. On the other hand, I changed it and it stopped working. That one threw me for a loop. So now I have one that is locked and I am unable to open it because the combination is inoperable. I tried reverting to the default settings, but that didn't help. I have no idea what's going on. It barely reaches the top of the one tank I use. But, at the very least, I know my lizards are safe, since my neighbor stole my Iguana and the cops are powerless to intervene.
I needed a lock for my ball python cage, and this was exactly what I needed. My memaw (grandmother) was too afraid to visit me, so I had to find a lock to put on its cage so she could come over. It is in perfect working order. I would strongly suggest it.
