Frequently Asked Questions

INSTALLATION

Is it okay to drill a hole in my trash can?

Yes! Primarily because the two inconsequential holes created by a Strong Strap are easily repairable. A small dab of super glue will fill and fix the hole permanently.

Strong Strap holes are repairable because the “self-drilling” parts mash the smallest hole possible. Other solutions require a drill bit to create a pilot hole that cannot be repaired.

Using a screw-based fastener enables the Strong Strap to semi-permanently attach to a trash can. A screw is the premiere choice because it will not fall off, get lost, or get in the way.

PERFORMANCE

Will this garbage lock keep animals out of my trash?

Strong Straps are a great, long-term option for keeping small- to medium-sized pests out of waste carts. Expect reduced break-ins from raccoons, birds, coyotes, dogs, cats, crows, rats, opossums, javelinas, squirrels, seagulls, and more.  For best results, pair your Strong Strap with a high-quality garbage can (a rigid body cart with a lid that is hard to bend).

Strong Straps are NOT BEAR PROOF please see the next question for more details.

Is the Strong Strap bear proof?

The Strong Strap is average at best against black bears, and below average against brown (grizzly) and polar bears. In order to deter black bears, two Strong Straps should be used on a single cart. Results will vary. Please note, limitations apply to our manufacturer’s warranty when damage is caused by bears.

Nevertheless, at a fraction of the cost of most “bear-proof” trash cans, Strong Strap is a budget bear-deterrent. It has been known to stop some bear break-ins. Other times, Strong Straps suffer defeat. Usually, the strap lives to fight another day and so does your trash can.

Does Strong Strap stop humans?

While Strong Straps are often called garbage can locks, they’re not designed to prevent people from accessing trash cans. In some cases, the Strong Strap may deter people who are unfamiliar with how to operate the stretch latch system. There is no key and Strong Straps do not protect sensitive material.

MISCELLANEOUS

What about automated trucks?

Your area has fully-automated collection and you want a Strong Strap.  What do you do?  If your trash company won’t let you enjoy the benefits of a properly closed lid, here are Blazer Brand’s Official Customer Recommendations

  1. Open Your Strap Prior to Pickup.
    This is the simplest solution. Many customers benefit from their cans being secure 95% of the time. Email us if you have any questions: [email protected].
  2. Ask Your Company/Community to Allow Locks
    We don’t believe we are speaking for ourselves when we say… “We don’t want to clean up trash in our neighborhoods or on our property when it could be prevented.” If they say no, give us a call.

Is there a warranty on the Strong Strap?

Our quality is guaranteed.  For one year, we have you covered.  If any part of the Strong Strap kit breaks, Blazer Brand will send a replacement.  To learn more: visit http://blazerbrand.com/warranty-information
