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.

Helpfulness
Not a raccoon trap, per se.
Aug 17, 2026
This is a good trap if you’re dealing with stray cats or possums, but it really isn’t robust enough to market as a raccoon trap. I bought one of these a couple of months ago, and the last raccoon that I trapped, which I believe is the third, bent the hell out of the trip bar, such that I know I won’t be able to bend it back to make it functional again. For a hundred bucks I expected the trap to last longer. I’ll be asking about a replacement trap or trip bar, but long-term I think I’ll be going back to cheaper, less humane methods of eliminating these chicken-killing, egg-theiving vermin.

We’re sorry to hear about the issue with the trip bar on your Havahart® Easy Set® Large 1-Door Animal Trap. This trap is designed for raccoons, opossums, and other similar-sized animals, and we understand your concern after experiencing this issue. For best results, make sure the trap is placed on a level surface and that the bait is positioned toward the back of the trap, away from the trigger area. Avoid placing heavy objects on or against the trap, as this can affect the trip mechanism. We appreciate your feedback and hope these tips help with future use.
I’ve had two of these ...
Jul 20, 2026
I’ve had two of these now and have raccoons wreck both. The quality of the steel is not anywhere it used to be in the 70s and the 80s. Super flimsy and it bends. I have some smaller ones as well in the metal bars have been broke by animals. They sure have cheap in their product and made it flimsy over the years, which is sad. When they used to be wood stream back in 70s and 80s, they used a lot heavier metal that held up. The quality they use now is a disposable throwaway trap after two or three catches, which is sad to say for $100 trap. I at least give their customer service five stars because they’ve sent two replacements. The problem is the replacements will be broke after a few catches as well. I had a brand new replacement out and I caught a raccoon the other day and it. It bent the bar up at a 90° angle from the floor pan. It also tore one of the cage bars up at an angle, breaking it free from the bottom. It wasn’t in the trap when I went to bed and then when I got up at 5 AM it was and already did all that damage so it hadn’t been in the trap for more than a few hours. Pretty sad to see a company quality control go down the toilet.

We're sorry to hear the replacement trap was also damaged and appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We understand how disappointing it is when the trap doesn't hold up to your expectations, especially after having positive experiences with our older models.
Raccoons are extremely strong and can cause significant damage while trying to escape, but we recognize your concerns about the trap's durability and will share your comments with our product team for review. We truly appreciate your kind words about our customer service and your continued support over the years. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue improving our products.
This is a terrible trap.

This is a terrible trap. Groundhog managed to open the door right away. The door is flimsy and will not hold a groundhog.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the trap did not perform as expected and that the groundhog was able to open the door.
Our live animal traps are designed to safely contain a variety of animals when properly set and secured. The door mechanism should hold firmly once the trap is triggered, so we appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. In some cases, checking that the door is fully seated in the locking mechanism and that the trap is placed on a stable, level surface can help ensure proper operation.
We understand your concern about the door strength and will share your comments with our product team for review. We’d be happy to help troubleshoot the issue or assist with a replacement if the trap is not functioning correctly. Just give us a call at 855-542-8242, and one of our agents will assist you further.
Thank you for giving our product a try and for your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that the trap did not meet your expectations. For the best results, we recommend placing the trap on a flat, stable surface in an area with signs of animal activity, positioning the bait beyond the trip plate so the animal fully enters the trap, and ensuring the door and trigger mechanism move freely without obstruction. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve your experience.
Don't ever buy this if ...
May 14, 2026
Don't ever buy this if you actually want to keep a racoon trapped. Racoon managed to completely bend the flimsy metal rod that is supposed to keep the door shut in about 20 minutes,
Actually wouldn't recommend buying anything from Havahart. This was an under warranty replacement trap for a trap I bought that broke in a completely different way. I received this trap less than a year ago, which one would think is covered under the one year warranty, but it is not. Warranty only applies from purchase date. If they give you replacement trap, you don't get any additional warranty for the replacement.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with both the trap performance and the warranty process.
Raccoons can be exceptionally strong and determined animals, and we understand how frustrating it is when a trap does not perform as expected. We also understand your disappointment regarding the warranty coverage timeline on replacement products.
Your comments are important to us, and we will share your feedback with our product and customer service teams for review. We are continually working to improve both our product durability and overall customer experience.
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!

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.

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.
Q&A
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.
Answer by: Karla (Admin) on Sep 3, 2025, 3:20 PM
Do you have a cage cover that would work with a 1085 trap? Need it for skunks so the handle mechanism is great but for release but looking for a cover? Thanks
Question by: Bob on Aug 17, 2026, 12:26 PM
The Havahart® Easy Set® Large 1-Door Animal Trap Model 1085 does not have a specific cage cover available. For skunks, a breathable cover can be placed over the trap to help keep the animal calm and provide shade, while keeping the handle mechanism accessible for release.
Answer by: Walter Sandoval (Admin) on Aug 17, 2026, 1:19 PM
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.
Question by: LINDA SMITH on Sep 28, 2025, 5:18 PM
Hi, thank you for reaching us. The traps have a 1-year warranty for any manufacturer defect from the date of purchase. If there is any problem with your trap, please give us a call at 1-855-542-8242, from Monday to Friday, from 8:30 am to 7 pm EST, for further assistance.
