Blazer Brand Strong Strap, Outdoor Garbage Can Lid Lock (1 Kit)

The Strong Strap works well and this has kept the raccoons out of our trash cans. The strap and the fasteners are very durable and will last forever. You do not need tools to attach and the fasteners are very strong. This was our second set because the inside fastener on the set we bought a few years ago was too big to attach where I placed the outside mount. As a result, I was able to secure it to the trash can. It eventually fell off and was lost. The newly purchased set has a smaller inside fastener that works very well with my can.

This has been a great product, keeps the critters, and neighbor's dog out.

Quality materials, great design, clear instructions and it works! What more can I ask for? The parts fit together well and install in minutes, with tremendous sturdiness. My only caveat is to carefully position the latch pod so that you don’t have to pull too hard to get the strap in and out. A light fit was fine to deter our raccoons (and make it easy for humans to put on and take off). Night one- the liner bag was shredded around the edges and the can was tipped over but the lid remained on! You could see the frustration of the raccoon! By day 3- the can was moved slightly, but they’ve given up tipping it over even. I’m sure they’ll be my neighbors problem (and leave us alone) by next week! And I will tell my neighbors about this strap- it’s great! p.s. the last 2 shots were added after a week and you can see the raccoons’ frustration as they turn over the can and STILL can’t get to the food. The second can (without the strap) is unused but even THAT ONE was knocked down. One frustrated raccoon… one happy strap kit owner!!

This is a super cool product. Installation is super easy. Unfortunately, the neighborhood bears are strong, persistent, and hungry.

So well, we bought two.

This is the best! Keeps the raccoon out and the trash in. Even an 80 year old Grandma can install it! 😊👍

We have a lot of trees and green space around our house, which means a lot of wildlife. The raccoons are ridiculous, always screaming at each other and getting into our trash bin and making a mess. But, the mess has stopped since I installed this on our bin. It was easy to install, but definitely check both the interior and exterior before piercing the bin. I got a little too close to a molded outcropping in one spot so it was difficult to tighten the screw all the way. We all have to use two hands to disengage and re-engage the strap, but it’s not a problem.On trash night we leave it unlatched and the trash pandas can’t get in because there’s no way for them to climb up the bin at the curb. Ours depend on another surface to stand on so they can get on top of the bin. The strap hasn’t caused any issues with the trash truck or been damaged, although I might unwrap it from the handle, just in case.Be careful opening the package - one of the covers on the sharp screws had fallen off in transit and the screw almost stabbed me.The YouTube installation video is much easier to understand than the instructions in the box.

Easy to install, but ineffective for Florida bears. For the price I was expecting this to work a bit better. They just pry up the sides and get the trash anyways.
