Not Racoon FoolProof
11 years ago
Great idea, but the racoons are not fooled! I've had to use an additional bungee cord to keep the animals out.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The hook fell off after I installed it. So I threw it away.

Easy to install, but my racoons are beating it
12 years ago
The racoons can't open the lid. But they can bend the lid enough to open a crack of about an inch or two along the sides. That seems to be enough for them to pull garbage out.
I'm going to need to augment this with a strap across the top.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Best product but not being accepted
13 years ago
My old green bin is no match for the skilled paws of the local raccoons. As such, I had to purchase an additional latch. Having gone through two different latch systems that were ineffective, I purchased this particular design. I found it easy to attach, simple to operate and, after one year of use, 100% effective.
That said, despite its small unobtrusive design, my local garbage collectors are now refusing to pick up the garbage unless I completely remove this latch.
They tell me it is not approved by the city of Toronto because, even when unlatched, "it may pose a danger to the collector". Of course, there is no possible way this could ever harm someone, but unfortunately there was no convincing them otherwise.
I now look forward to the day that my collection becomes privatized, but until then, I must go back to using bungee cords.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Easy to Install
13 years ago
I just got mine this morning- we were tired of heaving a patio brick on top of our green bin to keep the raccoons out. Note: we have one of the original City of Toronto green bins)
It was easy to install. You are given a drill bit and just need a drill, screwdriver, and some pliers to hold the nuts. There's a template on the back of the packaging which tells you were to drill the holes.
Very easy to secure and unsecure. When not engaged, it falls to a 90' angle so it is out of the way of the garbage man. I tried tipping my bin over but the latch did not come off.
Real test will come in the spring/summer when the raccoons are at their worst.
Yes, I recommend this product.
