Loose probes, dangling cords, suction cups, tape, zip ties, and silicone can shift or fail over time. SENSORLOCK™ removes that guesswork by locking the probe in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1441\" data-start=\"1412\" data-section-id=\"xfz9c9\"\u003eHow does SENSORLOCK™ work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1666\" data-start=\"1443\"\u003eSENSORLOCK™ uses a threaded stem and collar system. The probe cord passes through the mount, the stem goes through a 3\/8-inch hole in the enclosure wall, and the collar tightens by hand to hold everything securely in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1704\" data-start=\"1668\" data-section-id=\"1ugk01y\"\u003eDoes it require tools to install?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1931\" data-start=\"1706\"\u003eYou only need a standard 3\/8-inch wood drill bit to drill the hole. SENSORLOCK™ itself is tightened by hand. Do not use tools to tighten it, because overtightening can damage the threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1967\" data-start=\"1933\" data-section-id=\"1wb9bxb\"\u003eWhere should I place the probe?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2286\" data-start=\"1969\"\u003eFor radiant heat panels, place the probe horizontally in the heat path, at least 4–6 inches below the surface of the heat panel. The sensor tip should remain unobstructed and should not be pressed into substrate, decor, or an area where the animal regularly rests directly on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2326\" data-start=\"2288\" data-section-id=\"18yoxzv\"\u003eWhat thermostats does it work with?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2642\" data-start=\"2328\"\u003eSENSORLOCK™ is compatible with probes that have a sensor tip up to 3\/8-inch diameter and a cord up to 4.1 mm diameter. It is compatible with many common probe thermostats, including Herpstat, Vivarium Electronics, Inkbird, Zoo Med, and others that meet those probe dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2688\" data-start=\"2644\" data-section-id=\"vbd6qe\"\u003eWill it work with every thermostat probe?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2806\" data-start=\"2690\"\u003eNo. It will only work with probes that fit the required dimensions: sensor tip up to 3\/8 inch and cord up to 4.1 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2833\" data-start=\"2808\" data-section-id=\"1c1fwic\"\u003eCan reptiles break it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3103\" data-start=\"2835\"\u003eSENSORLOCK™ is made from TPU, which was selected because it flexes instead of cracking under pressure. It is designed to tolerate heavy-bodied reptiles climbing on or putting pressure against the probe better than rigid materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"3125\" data-start=\"3105\" data-section-id=\"ck0suy\"\u003eIs it 3D printed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3321\" data-start=\"3127\"\u003eYes.
