Kennel Locking Cover

thingiverse

My dog is an escape artist who will consistently apply pressure to her kennel door until she manages to break free. She's lucky since she almost never needs to be locked up anymore, but there are still times when it becomes necessary. I made some design changes and produced original prints of the plastic cover covering the spring locking mechanism on my dog's crate. This modification is shown in the video linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT9Vc-2z9iM. The available stl files are: Kennel_Straight_Shaft: Modified to allow for a different locking method that includes purchasing a metal release shaft from home depot. Kennel_Tensioner: This springless design still secures the dog in the kennel but without the need for the original springs. The cover also features places to tie zip ties to further secure it.
