[QUOTE="jetfire, post: 259, member: 2"] Can't go wrong with good old fashioned redneck ingenuity...duct tape, baby. Take 2 strips that are as long as the tank, and slightly overlap them, giving you a strip that's wider .this will be your "hinge".it goes on the back edged of the tank, over the lid ( taking care not to leave any adhesive exposed to the interior of the tank-you want to tape just the lid frame, not the screen). Then take a smaller, 3" strip, and put it on the front of the cage, as your "lock".again, just on the frame of the lid, and double over the last 1/2" onto itself, to give you something to grip to "unlock" the cage. This way is the easiest, cheapest, and literally the most secure way I've found to secure a tank. You don't have too worry about the tape getting knocked off by a cat (or kid, or ferret, or anything else that has no business in there), lasts awhile (I usually only have to change the lock strip whenever the sticky wears out) , and now that duct tape comes in all different colors and patterns, you won't get bored with plain grey.
