Squirrels are chewing on my hardware! What do I do?

last updated: 06-19-2007

Sometimes squirrels do like to chew on the Magna Latch. For this reason we do offer repair parts for the Magna Latch. Unfortunately the knob on top is not available separately, you have to purchase the whole tower. Your keys will not change since the Magna Latches are all keyed the same. At the same time you may wish to purchase a product we carry called Scoot Squirrel. Spray this product on the knob and squirrels will leave it alone (you can also spray it around on the ground to keep them away from anything). Be sure to follow the directions on the bottle.
