Serpentia Heavy Duty Vivarium Lock 140mm – Stainless Steel Glass Door Lock

Serpentia Heavy Duty Vivarium Lock 140mm is a practical stainless steel lock designed to improve the security of sliding glass vivarium doors. Supplied with 2 keys, it helps keep reptiles secure, reduce the risk of accidental escapes and prevent unwanted access to the enclosure when left unattended.

Designed specifically for glass sliding-door vivariums, this heavy duty lock clamps securely onto the glass and uses a sliding ratchet and locking barrel system to hold the doors in place. It is a simple but highly useful enclosure upgrade for keepers who want greater security and peace of mind.

Why Use a Vivarium Lock?

A vivarium lock adds an extra layer of security to front-opening glass enclosures, especially for active, inquisitive or strong reptiles. It helps prevent the doors from being accidentally slid open and can also help restrict access where children, visitors or other pets are present.

This makes it a sensible addition for everyday reptile keeping, whether you are housing snakes, lizards or other exotic animals in sliding glass vivariums.

How It Fits

The lock slides onto the edge of one glass door, while the ratchet body passes between the panes of glass. It is then secured from the rear using two screws that clamp it onto the glass.

The locking barrel slides onto the ratchet body and is moved into position before being engaged with the key.

Helpful Fitting Tip

When fitting the lock, make sure the barrel is slid onto the ratcheted body in the correct orientation. The flat-facing side of the barrel should be positioned towards the edge of the glass door so the ratchet engages correctly when locked.
