Default vivarium locks

I have 3 vivs with sliding glass doors at the front and none of them have locks on. I have bought 2 different locks and neither of them fit. The glass is too close together for it to go in! Any ideas how I can lock them???

Thanks.

i had the same problem ,i had to get the pliers and bend the kink out of the lock a bit and then it was ok.u can also buy those locks that are like a wedge to stop doors from closing if you no what i mean.they are thinner than the ones for doors though lol

Ill try bending the locks a little bit, see if that works.

Most stuff will work as long as it stops the glass moving, you can even use folded up newspaper though locks are the better option of course...

I have a few (5) straight fit locks for glass doors. Had the same problem with the glass being to close together and had a mate of mine when i was in the army "edit" a few for me!

You can have the lot for a few quid!
