Trigger example:
Trigger rod going down is to Pan or trgger lever Trigger rod on the right is going to the door latch Center nut and bolt is the pivot point.
It's mechanically dificult to pull down on one rod and in on it's connecting rod. Friction or complex "lucky" allignement is a crap shoot.
With this pivot point you can pull down on one rod while pulling the other towards the back of the trap. The Nylock nuts can be adjusted to perfection for the effort to trip it. All those bits are Stainles Steel so rust won't be a factor with age.
One other comment the nut and bolt under the trigger is simple to prevent it from spinning around. Captured animals especially vervet monkeys and honey badgers will destroy your trigger mechanism or anything that seems loose and dangly when they are inside for a while. They will chew and bend or twist and pull apart everything they can with super levels of determination and strength.
The triggers must be inside up under the angle iron side corners to prevent them from getting tripped from the outside. So I use 1/4-20 stainless rod I think it's 1/4" dia by imperial measure Probably similiar to 7mm? They cannot break or bend this (yet) but they do manage to twist it up on occasion. I have run the trigger rod lenght of the trap to the door in 3/4" electrical conduit so they cannot bugger it up on me.

Doesn't the salt/brackish water eat them up?

Trigger looks like Mercer's Spring powered door sounds like a DeKalb Poster too long for me to read
