Havahart® Large 1-Door Easy Set® Trap
Removing animals from your property in a safe, humane manner is simple with the Havahart® Large 1-Door Easy Set® Trap. Living in the country, you expect animal pests on your property, but even in the suburbs, larger animals such as raccoons, armadillos, or even feral cats may make a nuisance of themselves, destroying your garden or posing a health threat for children and smaller pets. Trap these animals on your property and release them in a location where they won't be able to dig up your yard, spread disease, or cause messes from tipping over trash cans.
Simple Trapping of Larger Animals with Easy Set®
Easy Set® technology lets you set your large animal trap with just one hand and in one quick motion. It also lets you release your critter safely from the back.
Use the lever to set the trap in the open position; once the sensor detects an animal in the trap, the fluid spring mechanism closes the cage door behind them. When it's time to release the animal, simply use the lever to quickly open the cage. The Easy Set® mechanism means the trapped animal can be let go without you ever having to touch the door.
Secure Trapping for Your Protection
This Havahart® animal trap is designed for strength coupled with easy operation, keeping you safe when trapping larger pests. The top of the animal trap is covered with a large steel plate, protecting your hand and surrounding the oversized handle. Patented technology from Havahart® lets you set and release the trap with just one hand. The steel bars are designed with rolled edges to protect the animal from scrapes or cuts while inside.
Peace of Mind, Humane Trapping
Havahart® focuses on trapping and releasing larger animal pests in a humane manner, with intuitive technology for a regular homeowner to safely operate. The spring-loaded door fits tightly, reducing the likelihood of escape when transporting the animal. A patented sensitivity screw makes the trap adjustable for different sized animals. For example, an armadillo may need a more sensitive setting than a raccoon. This lets you capture only the animals you want.

If you want to spend time repairing a trap this is the trap for you
Feb 4, 2026
Trap does a good job of catching, not so much when it comes to keeping the animal in, bought on of this model used one time animal escaped but not until bending the mechanism that triggers the door release, have not seen any place to buy repair parts.
These can be wild animals you are trying to catch, doors need to be stronger, trip mechanism needs to be more secure, trap is built to light

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Havahart® Easy Set® Large 1-Door Animal Trap. We’re sorry to hear the animal escaped and that the mechanism was damaged. The trap is designed to hold animals securely when used as directed, so the outcome you described isn’t expected. Proper placement on a flat, stable surface and securing the rear of the trap can help prevent movement that may allow animals to force the door.
If the trap is no longer functioning as intended, please contact us and we’ll be glad to assist.
I have always used Havahart ...
Jan 19, 2026
I have always used Havahart traps and they usually last a handful of years with heavy use, so I’m pleased with that. Just ordered a new trap and apparently this one is a different design with a cable at the top for one handed release. Sounds like a great idea, right ? It’s a garbage design ! The raccoons can get out once trapped. I’ve had this happen 3 times in one week and cannot keep the raccoon in its cage. Not one raccoon has been secured once trapped. Please take this honest review for what it is and Buyer Beware of this model !

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Havahart® Easy Set® Large 1-Door Animal Trap. We’re sorry to hear this model didn’t perform as expected. The one-handed release cable is designed to keep the door fully locked once triggered, so escapes aren’t expected. To help improve results, make sure the trap is placed on level ground, the door is closing completely without obstruction, and the release cable is fully seated and not slack before setting the trap.

The trap works fine for cats after a long time of trial and error adjusting the trigger but not anything larger. I trapped a raccoon, he tore the trap up trying to escape, which he did get away
! Now it's useless and a waste of money! I agree with all the other negative reviews. Do not buy!

This trap goes off and you cannot adjust it. Also coons can push it open. Bad design save your money

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Havahart® Easy Set® Large 1-Door Animal Trap. This trap is designed for secure captures, but proper setup is important for reliable performance. Make sure the trigger rod is seated correctly and the trap is on level ground to prevent it from tripping too easily. If raccoons are pushing the door open, placing a small weight or rock on top of the trap can help keep it secure once triggered. We appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with our product team for review.
I’d give this 0 stars ...
Aug 31, 2025
I’d give this 0 stars if it were an option. After catching a large raccoon, the trap wouldn’t release and let me open the door. The steel cable eventually pulled out of the piece where it attaches to the handle. I had to manually open the door which was why I bought this trap…didn’t want to get my hands near the animal. Now they tell me they don’t sell replacement parts??? $80 down the drain. I’ve got a 2 year old trap That is now useless. Havahart lost a loyal customer.
DON'T BUY HAVAHART TRAPS!!!!!!!
Aug 10, 2025
DON'T BUY HAVAHART TRAPS!!!!!!! They don't make replacement parts so when the little lever that sets the trap gets lost you have to buy a NEW TRAP. That is TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE and NOT WORTHY of customer support. They could at least include an extra or or have a way to connect it ti the trap so it doesn't get lost.
After less than 1 year and already the trap is broken
Aug 4, 2025
After less than 1 year, I caught TWO rabbits and had to pay $140.00 CDN for this trap and the plastic that the trip wire is connected to, split. $70 per rabbit. I believe you have ZERO warranty. I expect this from Chinese products but NOT anything made in the USA. Very disappointed to have wasted my money. Your 'drop to add files' will NOT even except a photo that is less then 3MB. The plastic part is not attached with small bolts so I could be replaced. So I have to JUNK the whole trap.
The critters can immediately escape ...
Aug 4, 2025
The critters can immediately escape from this trap! I was right there as soon as the trap closed. I had a feral cat that I was trying to catch to TNR that was able to quickly get out of the trap, and he never returned! Another time, a woodchuck wiggled right out of it. I bought 2 of these from Lowe's, and they are completly useless. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! Complete waste of money! I will never buy another Havahart product again! I encourage Lowe's to stop carrying them.
Terrible!
May 29, 2025
Terrible! Don't waste your money. I bought two of these traps for armadillos as the website indicated they were "best used for armadillos" among several other animals. They easily forced the trap doors open bending the doors and latching mechanism rods ...and ruining the traps in the process. Havahart should be ashamed to sell such an inferior product,
Q&A
Is the 1085 in stock?
Question by: Craig Hebron on Aug 5, 2025, 6:08 PM
Hi, thank you so much for your question! Yes, the trap is available through our website, you can go to havahart.com to get it.
Answer by: Victor on Aug 6, 2025, 8:42 AM
Is there an automatic/timer door opener for the raccoon size trap? Also, raccoons can reach through the mesh on some parts of the trap and it isn't practical to hold the trap at arms length with the animal inside it. Do you have any suggestions or add on kits to address this issue?
Question by: Scott Goodman on Aug 19, 2025, 6:25 PM
Hi, thank you so much for your question. Unfortunately, we do not offer any traps with a timer feature or automatic door opener, and we currently do not have any add-on kits to prevent animals from reaching through the mesh.
Answer by: Victor on Aug 20, 2025, 8:41 AM
I BOUGHT THE LARGE 1 DOOR CAT TRAP AND ITS LESS THAN 1 YEAR I THINK I HAVE WARRANTY ON IT. CAN YOU VERIFY THIS. THE MODEL IS 1085 I THINK.

What’s the difference between the 1079 and 1085 large animal trap?
Question by: EDWARD TATARYN on Aug 8, 2025, 8:26 PM
Hi, thank you so much for your question. The difference is that the 1085 is an easy-set trap with a sensitivity knob, while the 1079 is a standard large trap.
Answer by: Victor on Aug 11, 2025, 4:10 PM
What is the gauge of the flexible wire from the door to the handle that holds the door up on 1085. Mine snapped. Need # of guage to fix. Thanks
Question by: Harry on Sep 3, 2025, 3:01 PM
Thank you very much for contacting us. It would be our pleasure to assist you. Unfortunately, we do not sell replacement parts for model 1085, including the flexible wire.
