I think we have some discussion about this but I don't remember what was the conclusion. So, question is :
can
this be used instead of metal lock on this
this (or similar) cage ?
I would like to have better emergency release solution and plastic lock seems to correspond to that request.
Any opinions ?

Speaking from my own experience with a multitude of various even similar looking cages - there are different generations not compatible with each other. So it's better to ask the seller.

It takes some efforts to close/open the "hidden lock". I don't know what force the plastic key can withstand.

I've bought them, has worked in all the ones that use similar metal, and so far ones where they are not fully interchangeable.
I use those now instead of the metal ones, after having this happen:
The lock failed, broke. Tried to drill the lock out. Didn't work. Couldn't get any saw blades including my jewelers saw to cut in the gap. Ended up calling the fire department.
This device is now a teaching aid lol

so far have had mine locked in for 4 days, no issues, in a metal device with the hidden lock. The good thing about the plastic is that if the lock fails, it can be drilled out and/or cut/broken to remove the device, where if the metal lock fails (like mine did) there is the possibility of requiring a rather humiliating removal call lol
