No worries, they're exactly the same as the komodo ones but without the bend. |

I've stuck cut down knitting needles into the glass runners to stop my viv opening. Works wuite well if you put one needle behind the glass on the inside runner, then close the outter glass and put the needle in behind it.....but there again, would your daughter get at those too??? |

Yea i thought about the rubber wedges but i keep thinking when my daughter starts to figure things out she would manage to get it open hence why i wanted locks . Il try popping them into the vice to straighten the bar out thanks :-)
Yeah sorry did not think of that, don't have that worry so never give it consideration.
Stick them in the vice like you say should sort it |

Yeah they have a little bend in the bar which prevents it from fitting between the 2 pieces of glass. I clamped mine in a vice and tightened it until the whole bar was straight. |

I think they may all just need bending untill you get them right
That what I done to mine when I had a viv
And they were ok after that it's a pain getting them right so they don't scrape the glass |
