do you think you could use it to lock a basketball rim/net so the neighbors couldn't play?

Yes, it could probably be used for that purpose. However, I'm not sure how well it will hold up exposed to the elements.

In my hood if there's a basket available and there's someone who wants to shoot hoop, you got game! Unless the neighbors are destructive or obnoxious, why not let them play? Seems like a hassle to have to get up on a ladder to remove the "bar" every time you wanted to use it.

I don't know the width of a basketball rim but the auto lock will open effectively between 21 to 22 inches.

Would this be good to use along with the wire on top of fences to keep destructive rude neighbors cats out?

I wouldn't trust it as a security lock on its own, though it might add some extra deterrence in conjunction with a separate lock.

I only use it to hold the bikes so they are not sitting on the tires. I guess you could if you bolted the rack really securely to the wall. Any type of lock is just a determent, if they really want it they can get it!

I don't think the net will break at all however, because a basketball will hit more of the surface the chances of it moving and or falling over will be much greater. it only comes with stakes to hold it down so you would have to figure out another way to secure it to the court.

I would imagine it can...but it's pretty heavy duty stuff and the spray pattern is probably pretty large..so to use it in an enclosed space might also affect the user as well as an intruder.

I would say no unless you could build a ramp. Just don't think they could get into it or out of it

I wouldn't...I think it would probably bend the basket out of shape unless you didn't carry much weight in it.

Not practical to put a lock. It is very thin. Should be used for privacy but not security.

It's not a good idea. The rim will give several inches on a good dunk (satisfaction...yes), but I really would not hang on it.

I never would have thought of that use!! I guess you could, it is loud enough to scare them away! It would have to be enclosed I would think so it does not get any moisture in it. I am interested to know if it works!!

No. Someone could kick this lock open pretty easily. We use them on inside doors for child-proofing purposes i.e., locking door to basement so our toddler can't pull the door open and fall down the stairs.

Don't see why not. It's not so much a game enhancer for the kids as it is a boon for the kids' parents. I bought it to protect the kids and my flowerbeds, since it directs the ball coming out of the net, so the ball doesn't crush your landscaping and helps keep little kids from chasing the ball into the street.

This net is not portable. It is designed to install on a tennis court for permanent use.

Yes. We used it for a door that had been scewed out of line, due to frost last winter.We got ad-a-lock to secure the door at night. It worked very well.

Probably if you have a round basket. We didn't find it strong enough though.B.J.

Should be fine. You could also insert a small piece of rubber to make it a bit more secure. The product has worked well for me, and at a fraction of the cost of the units available locally in the stores.
