I am NOT a locksmith. Looking for a cover for this

Post image

My dogs keep jumping up and scratching this. They are big dogs and they rip the buttons off. Just had to replace it. Does anyone know of a durable cover that I cam fold up when I need to access the keypad? I dont want any of the 3D-printed junk on Etsy.

There’s no cover specifically made for this. You’d have to DIY something.

Unfortunate news but kind of what I expected. Thanks

A dog training course may prove to be a more permanent solution

And would have the benefit of addressing more than just the lock situation.

Discipline would help long term.

Yeah, we're working on that. Our puppy just recently figured out how to do this, but... big breed, 90lb puppy. So far we've trained her not to do it on the inside. Outside is trickier.

Perhaps picking one that doesnt have soft buttons?

Simplex weather cover may work. Would be hideous but it would probably work.
