Does anyone know how to fix those plastic "spinny" door "stops" or locks on the all screen cages? I have one that just pops out and I don't want an escapist Veiled! :rolleyes:
 
You can find those screen stops at the hardware store if you need to replace the actual stopper...if it's a screw hole stripping problem...you can retap it with a fatter screw. Take it off and bring it with you to the store for comparison on other screws which will fix the problem with only a slight difference....as to avoid cracking the plastic stopper. Or buy a new pack of metal stoppers and put one on a drill press to increase the size of the hole for your fatter screw. OR try opening up the plastic one with a slightly fatter drill bit to accomodate your fatter screw.

You can also try the various thread lockers on the market...some are liquid and some are tape.

Good luck
