Hi, hive mind! I have seen Phil Waddington demonstrating the use of a small metal clip over the kill bar and upright in a DOC200 to make the trap safe to clean, adjust etc. I can only find nylon strap arrangements on the Connovation site and a google search turns up nothing else. Anyone got a link or a hot tip for me? Thanks!
You can make one out of No.8 wire. Easy peasy.
Hi VJ
I bought my doc200 from CMI Springs in AK. comes without box but plans to build one. Is supplied with clip. I use the clip for safety reasons but if you use upward pressure on the underside of the trigger plate when the trap is set it will not trip.
I’m sure I bought some from traps.co.nz a few years ago. I made an enquiry with them to see if they had them as they’re not listed on their website.
Slide your screwdriver through the pull up handle between the back of the trap and the side of the box
agree with this advice (screwdriver) - I actually think this is safer than the clip, even
If you do make/acquire one (or more)I suggest painting it a bright colour as it makes it easier to find when you drop it!
I just tie a bit of fluoro pink flagging tape to mine. Also helps remind me to take it off the trap before I close the box!
You can buy a 5 pack for $3 from Trapinator - https://www.trapinator.com/store/5-x-Doc250-Safety-Clips-p231407699
