How Locking Mechanisms Stop Even the Smartest Bears

BearSaver’s BE Series: engineered to thwart wildlife intelligence and safeguard your waste.

Bears, raccoons, and clever critters are evolving their strategies to access human trash. From twisting lids to prying seams, wildlife is getting smarter. But BearSaver’s BE Series locking mechanisms are one step ahead—engineered to keep even the craftiest animals out.

🧠 Why Bear Intelligence Requires Smart Locks

Black bears have been known to open car doors, manipulate hinges, and exploit weak designs. If trash cans rely on weak latches, even the smartest bears find a way in. However, BearSaver’s BE Series enclosures are rigorously tested to withstand both brute force and creative attacks.

The BE Series combines heavy-gauge steel construction with patented internal pocket latches that activate only when the door is fully closed and cannot be triggered by claws or brute pressure. 

🔒 BE Series Locking Highlights

• Top-loading animal-proof doors, impossible for wildlife to grasp and unlatch.

• Rear swing-out bag racks, eliminating the need to lift heavy loads out—humans open, wildlife can't.

• Zinc-coated hardware, stainless‑steel piano‑hinge pins, and powder‑coat finishes resist corrosion, rust, and wear.

• ADA-compliant designs, ensuring usability for people without sacrificing strength.
