Humane Animal Trap (Small-Med)

Step 8: Door Jam

Rip a small strip the width of the opening on the front of the box and thin enough to sit in front of routed grooves.  This small piece will help prevent some wild beast from managing to screw up your trap by bashing at the door.  This might be overkill if your grooves were done well and the door fits snug enough but still slides freely, but I figure it can't hurt.  Glue this piece in place making sure it doesn't impede your door from closing.

A while back I made a trap & for the door, I used "L" shaped metal...2 pieces each side & the door slid down between them. no cutting needed, and the animals can chew on the metal all day & it won't hurt a durn thing. was a lot more secure too.
