Before, I had a problem that I would get bored and try to reach my fingers around to the wires, I would rip the wires to get an early release.

This led to me needing mittens to prevent my fingers from ripping the wires, but is overly restrictive: I wanted the ability to play my games and operate the fan/lights and TV Remote, while in full Segufix.

So, I upgraded the security of the wires to a braided cable. I had to work the braided cable into the metal enclosure and glue them from the inside so the cable cannot be pulled out, but this turned-out really good. I tested it by trying to yank the cable with both hands , and now I cannot rip the wires out the back of the magnetic lock, no matter how hard I try.

Note on the second picture: the Yellow tape is just to keep the metal from rattling with noise, the Segufix pin is secured to the magnetic lock with metal-to-metal interlocking, so peeling the yellow tape won’t let me cheat a release, either.

Of course I can still be put in the mittens for those times when my caretaker wants extra restriction on me (e.g. naptime when no games or TV allowed)

Totally secure , now I can struggle (because I will naturally try to free myself) but with “no easy way out” I’m forced to give-up, and just lay there, and serve my time until I’m released. When applied properly, the Segufix really is inescapable, only way to Cheat was by getting one hand out and then getting the Magnet key. But with this new security, no more cheating for me !

(release is controlled electronically by my Home Automation Rules and backed up by two separate Timers)

(See my old post history for how these magnetic locks work and how I setup my special restraint Crib with automation rules for safety and security)
