Simple live box trap parts. Design is scalable and just build the box to suit what ever you want to trap.
Few Hints
1. The lever release is designed to angle towards the back to help with the release.
2. The lever release and the trap door will need to be notched as in the picture to get the release tension just right for your preference.
3. On the latch you will notice a small loop to turn the trap into a remote release. Just disconnect the side spring with the top spring. Takes just a second. Just hook a line through the guide and to the loop.
*** The release is now here. It is just a simple drop on attachment that you put on top of the trap when you want to use the remote release. I found even with almost no tension on the spring it could snap the trap release arm. Notice in the picture that there is no tension on the top spring now. Also I glued a foam pad about an inch thick to avoiding, which could loosen the hinges over time slamming too ha
