Hi every1 i baught 3 vivexotic repti-stax vivariums and the locks i got do not fit well the doors dont slide so just wondering if any1 can recomend me some good locks for these vivs mainly to keep my daughter from getting in
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
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.
1.0.0 Pastel Royal Python - Juju CB11 0.1.0 Western Hognose - Hetti CB12 1.0.0 Fire Harlequin Crested Gecko - Jasper CB13 0.1.0 Het Kahl Common Boa (bci) - Pandora CB13 1.3.0 Viper geckos 1.1.0 66% PH Toffee 50% Kayuadi reticulated pythons 0.1.0 Platinum Tiger Reticulated python
I have had a few of these vivs and have never been able to find a lock to fit them, I used a rubber wedge instead works fine
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
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???
I found one on ebay without the kink in it that fits ok.
Do uou have a link please mate . The kniting needles may work well but im not sure if she will digure it out lol she is 14months now so she is coming up to the age where she will be trying to get into everything :-)
