Does this curio lock or at least close securely? I don't want my cats bumping into it and popping it open. Thanks for your time :)

This curio has a single door that closes securely into the latch. You don't need to worry about it popping open. It requires significant amount of pull to open the door.

Yes, it does close securely. In fact you have to pull on it a bit to open....which is good.No problems. I love this curio..it looks great with all my glass stemware.

It closes with a magnet latch. I doubt that it would be opened easily by the kitties. Mine seems fairly secure.

Hi, Yes, this curio cabinet closes securely. I have a 100 lb dog that traffics by my cabinet and even bumps it occasionally with his tail and no problem. Hope this helps.

This cabinet is absolutely wonderful! The door definitely closes securely. When you load it, you won't believe how gorgeous your items will look. pleb

It locks very secure. We have a chocolate lab and a cat and they don't even bother it. We anchored it to the wall and it is just perfect, such a beautiful piece of furniture.

Make sure it's placed correctly. My cats use the door and I constantly open and close the door to clean it. I am not careful or take good care of it, and so far everything about the door works fine. Is not supposed to get stuck at all. If you keep having problems return the item. It might be a damage.

The lid is very secure and should not be a problem. So far, my cats have had no issues and do not have a reason to break into it or knock it over. It is best to always keep it filled up halfway so there is enough weight to hold it down (in case it is somewhere that a cat might be tempted to knock it over).

It does snap down securely to prevent particles from getting onto the butter. As I mentioned it also prevents my cats from getting into it if I have left it on the counter. But if you are looking for something sealed air tight. That it is not. I always still pick it up from the bottom just in case. I have had the lid come off if just picked up from the lid.

The cat needs to stick it's head in the door and push on it. At that point a whirring sounds happens as the locks disengage. Then the cat has a few seconds to push again and go through the door. I have never seen the door unlock without the cat pushing on the door first. No racoons have entered my house since I put in the door. In fact they have stopped coming around now that they can't get in. I also clean the door and the surrounding area with 409 periodically to alleviate any lingering smell. Hope this helps

I think my SureFlap door would click open when my cat put his head about 2 inches from the door. And no, I never had any problems with it not opening. But mine is in the trash because the raccoons kept going thru it to get to the cat's food and after awhile the cat wouldn't use it any more. Be sure to get the raccoon-proof model, if you buy it! It was a good idea but mine turned out to be a waste if money.

Along with food or some other tempting thing on the other side of the door, we also physically pushed our cats head into the door and literally shoved them through! Seems a little rough, but it eventually worked. One of our cats took to it right away and the other took longer. Keep at it and they'll figure it out. Another thing I've heard people have done is completely remove the door just to get them used to walking through it, then add the door unlocked, then after a while turn on the lock. Good luck!

There is a spring loaded ball that locks it when closed, but it stays open unless you lock it. It will swing on the hinges pretty easy. I don't think you kitty would have any issues with it.

No. The lid doesn't lock, but I suspect it will difficult to access without physically getting into the basket. Unless the deep and narrow basket is nearly full, the cat might have a problem. Also, it mounts on the back of the cabinet door, making access even harder.

Yes, there is a solid plastic panel that can be put in place when the door is not being used. How secure it is would be a matter for the owner to decide. If your dog is large or you have multiple dogs, they might be able to force their way through, since they are used to the door and may hit it at high speed when entering. Never mind the tandem entry method. As to keeping out cats, it should be fine. Now, for burglary issues, you may want to increase the difficulty level.

There is a lock on litter pan that screws to the side of the cage. we have a hutch and drilled a hole in the side to attach this pan and have never had problems. as far as I know the high back does not lock in place.

The only place you need to be careful is right next to the magnet on the door. Just move those and it probably will close. Also if you have too many large necklaces they may interfere with the other side closing but not often. Move them around a little and it will close.

Well that pretty much makes this lock a security risk for anyone with dogs or cats that might jump up and move the handle. Is there no way to fix this "feature?"

you have to push it closed...it moves easily tho and is easy to latch w one hand...looks great. great gate. higher than most too for when they start climbing.

My cats don't have problem with it. Our youngest cat found out to stick his paw up the shoot and now the other is doing it. I have ours placed on a shelf, In a corner location. They haven't knocked it off yet. If you have a dog who is mischievous or curious this might be a problem. Our cats hear the food being dispensed they stop whatever they're doing and run to eat. I have it set up for two times a day morning and afternoon. I would buy it again. The batteries last 6-9 months.

The lid just sits on the base it does lock on the base to a certain degree. (There is a channel on the lid which kind of interlocks on the rim of the base.) I know the dog has tried to lift it, and she has not been able to get it off. When I go to change or clean it out it take two hands to lift it off. Its pretty big I don't think your cats will have a problem...

NO! This is not "secure" by any means, and the strength and quality of the product wouldn't even stop a curious hamster. That being said, it's worth the cheap price if it's used for its intended purpose, to stop bugs.tl;drThis product will not hold up to any cat.Best of luck to you!
