What's the mechanism for opening the trap door? Is it the standard string hanging down from the ceiling or something more innovative?

There is a small indent with a lip in the door and you use a rod with a hook-like end to grab and pull down the door.

The stair door / hatch has an inset in it that is flush with the door surface, but is designed to accept a hook that is mounted to an aluminum pole (about 4 ft in length) that is provided by the manufacturer. So when you want to open the hatch, you grab the pole with the hook, hook into the hatch, and pull the hatch down. No strings or anything hanging from the door/hatch when it is closed. Just need to find a convenient place to store the hook&pole.;

This line of FAKRO attic ladders does not use a string; it uses something more innovative. The Fakro LST has a special metal control rod (that comes with the ladder) that is used to open the door as well as to latch onto the bottom step to pull it down.

There's a recessed catch and a special pole/hook that's used to lower the door.

An eye-ring is screwed into to horizontal door. A 28" metal rod with a hook at its end is used to manually engage with the eye ring and open the door, which is hinged at one end. The metal ladder is then manually pulled down to floor level. It sounds complicated, but functions very smoothly.

The door has no latch, its spring loaded so you have to screw a hoop or handle to the edge of the door and pull on it to open. It works quite well. If your ceiling is high or youre short you need a little stick with a hook on it to reach it and pull down.

On the left side of the door, there's a window which opens either to a mesh screen or completely to open air. You can run it through there. I cut a small hole in the mesh on the upper right side and ran it through. I like my zodi water heater device on the right and the hole was quite small and didn't seem to allow additional bugs in. There's a hook inside hanging from the middle of the ceiling. I cut a small piece of rope, tied it into a circle and used it to suspend the shower line so it hung directly center inside the tent. A small piece of duct tape worked great to secure it. Hope that helps !

The same way you set the trap door. I have caught 9 feral cats with this trap. Don't know about other animals if it works for them.

Hi, it's a latch mechanism. You have to push the latch in order for it to catch as it springs out when you unlock it. Push your fingers in the space between the handle and the top of the lid then close the latch and turn the key. Hope this helps.

This is a rectangular box as shown that is open on both ends. The trap itself is the sticky paper; the box simply keeps the sticky surface clean until something enters the box. I caught a 2 foot long snake in the trap and he struggled hard enough that he and the sticky part of the trap came out of the box. It was pretty evident that I had trapped something. I am certain that one could rig up a device as you suggest, but this would add a mechanical device that may discourage a snake from going into the box.

There is an extension strap that comes with the kit. It has a little plastic stopper built in. You drape that over the door and then close it. You want to find a sturdy (solid) door to do this on. The hollow ones dont seem to hold up as well. If you are uaing this at home, I recommend getting the wall or ceiling mount. Having the product is worth it!Hope this helps.Josh

One door works well because the animal is required to venture farther into the trap. Reduces the chance of them running out before the door shuts.

Yes, you have to be able to reach it. There is a release clip on the ratchet end. You press down and it unlocks, when it is at the height you want, you simply pull on the rope and it locks again. I looped the regular clip around a frame of my indoor garden and clipped the ratchet end to my light, that way it is always within.reach.

it comes with some string all you have to do is go and buy some hooks and screw them into your ceiling

My husband figured it out. It's actually tied with a bit of string made of the same material as the string that you hang stuff with.

There is no pole down the middle after the doors are open. They slide closed and are latched by a magnet. When open, they retract to the either side of the door.

There is a trap door that is opened with suction but closes and traps the bug in the chamber at the end of the wand. To release the bug, remove the chamber and tip the bug out.

there is a small piece that you attach that the hook connects into. You have the knob on the door and the other piece goes to the side where the door closes on (just like other doors).

Hi Christa, Unfortunately no trap door, you do have to undress. Live To Play

Hook open. I will swing on mine like a nimbly little spider with no problem, it works well and looks neat. Hope this helps.

I had my handy man hang this chandelier and it was easy to do. I am looking at it now and it looks like you could run the wire up without the chain directly into your ceiling wire connection but I do not know how the rest of the chandelier would attach to your ceiling because the small piece at the top of the chandelier where the chain comes out has no way to connect to your ceiling. I would not advise it unless you are secure in your skills to attach the top of the chandelier to your ceiling secure enough to support the weight of the fixture. I love this chandelier and would advise purchasing it. It is a unique conversation piece.

yes, the nice thing about this vent is how easy the louvers open it does not take much air. Hanging from the ceiling will just leave them open.
