This crate is the best I've EVER owned, and it should be for the price. Testament to that is that it is still holding the dog in! My dog is a powerful escape artist (ridgeback/coon hound mix)and she figured out how to open the latch from the inside, even when it's locked! It is spring loaded and exposed. I fixed the problem by installing a small [$] barrel slide bolt on the outside of the door and she has never escaped since and has given up trying to escape. I like the fact that the crate is aluminum with stainless hardware so no rust, and it has good ventilation. The dog even tried to chew in the door bars, and gave up with no damage to the bars. She's a good dog now when I'm away from home! She can chew through chain link and pull big nails out of floors and buildings with her teeth, and this crate has tamed her! I should have bought a Zinger 4000 a long time ago before she chewed up my kitchen cabinets and carpet. [...]Would recommend this to a friend? recommended

I bought this crate because I was getting a dog with a reputation for breaking out of crates and destroying furniture, carpets, etc. This was due to the fact that the dog was crated all day long and had little exercise. I can say that he cannot get out of this crate. I do not crate him much at all, only when I must leave him home or cannot watch him, but I know he and my home are safe, and that made it well worth the cost!Would recommend this to a friend? recommended

Before purchasing the Zinger 4000 Aluminum Dog Crate my large dog was able to break out of every crate that I have bought for him. My dog has not been able to escape from this product, which makes me feel more comfortable leaving him home alone knowing that he is safe and not able to get into anything that could possibly hurt him. Very happy with the product.Would recommend this to a friend? recommended

Couldn't believe the price on this crate. I've been wanting one for a while & this [...]was perfect. The crate is packaged well, good instructions for assembly.You really do need 2 people, as it can be a little tricky. The crate feels a lot bigger than it is & fits my dog well.Would recommend this to a friend? recommended

I wish we had ordered this crate before my grand dog injured her upper arm while trying to escape by being gouged by the wire door of her previous plastic type crate. She bent the metal door and the lower locking arm dug into her and her injury has cost over $1,000.00 in vet bills so far. We regret not spending the money for a safer crate, but want everyone out there to know - get this crate....your Houdini will not escape and your pet will be safe!Would recommend this to a friend? recommended
