Mode d'application
For the application of Cat-Straps with the Cat-Lock, here is a simple guide:
- Preparation of materials: You have theCat-Straps in sizes 15-22 cm and 19-30 cm, which are adapted to your need to reinforce the support of the Cat-Lock.
- Attaching the straps: Wrap the strap around the railing and pass it through the designated space of the Cat-Lock to create optimal tension. Pass the strap through the loops and tighten to ensure a secure fit.
- Readjustment: Once in place, you can readjust the straps at any time, pulling harder to ensure the necessary tension. This reinforces the holding effect of the Cat-Lock without damaging the guardrail.
- Continuous use: As these straps are reusable, they can be adjusted several times to maintain tension and provide continued protection of the balcony, with installation flexibility as needed.

Compatible Kits
The use of Cat-Straps to reinforce the hold of the Cat-Lock is optional but recommended for openwork railings. These straps add extra stability and help maintain string tension securely especially in the early stages. If the Cat-Lock is installed correctly and the initial tension of the ropes is sufficient, you could do without the straps. However, the addition of the Cat-Straps provides assurance of optimal support, particularly if weather conditions or tension variations require additional adjustment.
In summary, although it is not essential, the use of Cat-Straps improves the performance of the system by reinforcing the attachment of the Cat-Locks.

How to use the Cat-Strap?
Simplified instructions for use of Cat-Straps for Cat-Lock:
- Preparation: Before installing the Cat-Straps, make sure that the Cat-Lock is correctly positioned and that the ropes are tensioned to the desired length.
- Installation: Pass each strap through the Cat-Lock loops, then adjust the length by pulling on the end of the strap to ensure even tension.
- Fixing: Once the tension is correct, attach the strap to the desired location to firmly hold the Cat-Lock in place. Make sure the strap is neither too tight nor too loose.
- Adjustment: If necessary, you can adjust the straps to maintain the stability and tension of the strings over time.
Tip: The Cinch Straps are reusable, so if you need to adjust them, simply detach and reposition the straps as needed.
Is the Cat-Strap useful for open railings?
The Cat-Straps are not suitable for non-perforated railings where glazing or a solid surface is present between the railing and the guardrail. In this type of configuration, there is generally not enough space to pass the strap through the structure, making their use impossible. The Cat-Strap remains an optional solution and is not obligatory. It will allow you to strengthen the hold of the Cat-Lock on the openwork railing and more particularly at the start of your installation but in no case is it essential.
Can the Cat-Strap be used for other needs?
Yes, the Cat-Straps can absolutely be used for needs other than those related to securing the guardrails with the Cat-Lock. Their versatile and robust design makes them ideal for various uses, such as:
- Cable and wire organization: Ideal for gathering and holding electrical cables, computer equipment wires or extension cords.
- Sports or outdoor activities: Useful for attaching equipment such as hiking poles, tents or bags to bicycles or backpacks.
- Transport and logistics: Allows you to secure small packages or objects during transport.
- DIY or domestic use: Practical for attaching pipes, tools, or other bulky items to supports.
- Gardening: Can be used to hold plants or attach protective nets.
Their flexibility and reusability make these straps a practical solution for many contexts beyond the Catsafe project.
