"9'' Ventlock Tailgate Lock"
"Important Notice: As dog owners ourselves we feel duty bound to say that whatever method of ventilation or protection against sunlight you use, there can be no substitute for checking your pet on a regular basis. We recommend that you do not leave pets unattended for long periods in a stationary vehicle in direct sunlight. The Ventlock is not suitable for use when the vehicle is moving or when the engine is running and can never be a substitute for responsible pet ownership. The Ventlock Tailgate Lock allows more ventilation into your car than just leaving windows open. It works by fixing the rear door or tailgate in a semi-open position and combined with a front window open just an inch or two, it allows free flowing air just where the dogs need it most - on their nose at the back of the vehicle. Why do I need a Ventlock? Every summer all around the world there are incidents involving dogs which are either stolen or die from heat exhaustion. It is usually as a result of having been left in a car by owners who don't take the proper precautions to see that their Pets are both secure and have good ventilation. Of course there are times when it is convenient to leave your dog in the car. Going to shows or Competitions are a couple of examples. Even a visit to the supermarket or motorway services for just 20 minutes needs careful thought. During the summer months the inside of a car can get very hot in a short period of time. The temperature can rise from a comfortable 20 degrees to a Killer 40 degrees in a matter of minutes. Another major advantage is that with the Ventlock secured between car and tailgate all but the most determined thief will be kept out. It takes only a few seconds to fit or remove and the car can be locked in the normal way using either the key or central locking. Best of all it fits 99% of Hatchbacks, Vans or 4 Wheel Drive vehicles fitted with a rear door. The Ventlock is suitable for use on models by the following manufacturers: AUDI ACURA BUICK BMW CADILLAC CHRYSLER CHEVROLET CITROEN DAEWOO DIAHATSU DODGE FIAT FORD GMC HONDA HYUNDAI INFINITI ISUZU JEEP KIA LADA LANCIA LAND ROVER LEXUS LINCOLN MAZDA MERCEDES MERCURY MITSUBISHI NISSAN* OLDSMOBILE OPEL PEUGEOT PLYMOUTH PONTIAC PROTON ROVER SAAB SATURN SEAT SKODA SSANGYONG SUBARU SUZUKI TALBOT TOYOTA VAUXHAUL VOLKSWAGEN VOLVO YUGO What size Ventlock should I buy? If the Ventlock fits your vehicle then all the sizes are available to you. There are no special sizes for different cars. If one fits, they will all fit. The choice is simply how big a gap would you like for your dogs. Ask yourself one or two basic questions and I'm sure you will come to the right decision very quickly. 1. Are your dogs in a secure cage? If they are you can have as big a gap with as much ventilation as you like. 2. If your dogs are not in a secure cage, then you would need to choose a Ventlock that does not let your dog get out through the gap. A very simple test is to put your dogs in the car and then
