Hey everyone. I have owned a Proline cage for about a year now. I've performed with it in a lot of different places so it's been through some "wear and tear". One thing that's happened to it is that like 2 of the bars on the sides of the cage have become bent. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Does anyone have experience with making the bars go back so they look like new? I can probably just bend them back but I just don't want to try to fix it without knowing the proper thing I should do. Thanks guys...

If no one responds, I would suggest that you contact the ProLine people.

I had one of these years ago.. If it is the same design as back then - it happened to me a lot.. So much so that I had to replace the bars quite frequently.. I did this by getting a metal measure in tape, sanding off the paint and using those to replace as needed.. A large measuring tape will get you quite a few bars.. It takes some elbow grease and patience to sand the metal tape.. But it can be done.
Good luck!

I own 3 proline cages...my main cage has been around the world...literally THOUSANDS of shows. You have to keep the cage and bars clean. It is not an issue of proline's work it is user error and neglect. Keep that **** polished, clean, and lubed and you won't have any issues.

The bent bar issue was resolved years ago. Apparently, over time, the bars would wrap tighter around the spindle making them 'longer'. This would cause some bars to bend. Once I isolated the problem, I corrected it and have had no more issues. I also changed the housing making it much easier to replace a bar should that ever be necessary. I do apologize to anyone that had an issue with this.

Note: Just use paint remover to remove the coating on rulers. Then polish, but be careful of creating to much heat while rubbing/polishing. Look up polishing with rouge.
