Do you secure your racks? How?

i seen/read a few threads on snakes escaping from PVC enclosures today, so that got me thinking about the security of my racks. (i also own 1 PVC enclosure and 2 tanks, all with locks.) racks are like a shelf and drawer system with a heating element for our animals. however (most) racks do not come with a locking mechanism for the tubs they house. the tubs simply slide in and out of shelves, cubby holes or whatever. we simply believe that our snakes or whatever animal will not be able to push the tubs out themselves via their strength or intelligence. do u rely on this fact? have u had escapees from racks?

i have seen some peeps install flip down thingies (i have idea what they're called and that's my best description of them) for each tub to help block a tub from being pushed out. where do u get these? and what are they called? what are other ways to secure a rack system?

RBI racks use pegs that you insert into the shelving so you can't pull the tub out.

Glass panel clips work great for providing an easy quick way to keep tubs from sliding out.

I placed these ( http://www.homedepot.com/p/1-2-in-2-...3736/202043215 ) on the top and bottom of my old racks in the center of the rows of tubs and then ran this through it ( http://www.homedepot.com/p/6408U-1-2...1804/203334064 )

Rack lock system for 4.00

11 years using racks and I never secured them and I also never had an escape.

I have used anything from melamine rack, to vision, to AP, C-Serpents, for hatchlings, juices and adults including some pretty heavy and strong one 3500 + grams.

I use these - cheap and can't be lost easily.
