We created a 'lying down' bespoke cage for one of our customers a little while ago and this post has been prompted by finding the photos he sent.

Can't quite remember where this cage went, think it might have been Sweden or at least somewhere close, but the requirement initially was for a tall cage made so that it could be used lying down; all good, order confirmed and work started.

We then got an email requesting that we somehow, if possible, make provision for a magnetic lock.  Always eager to please we said yes and after a lot of thought (it really was a lot of thought for something seemingly so simple - but then we didn't have the lock, he did, and he lives in a different country) and the photo is what we came up with.

Can't take all the credit, we just supplied the mounting plates and the mountings.

Why did he want a magnetic lock?  Well, as the title suggests, self bondage was the order of the day.  By plugging the magnet into a power supply that is controlled by a timer switch/socket, he is able to set a time, climb in to his cage and then close the door - well and truly stuck until the time is up or there is a power cut!

Ingenious!
