Door is hinged at the top and on an angle so gravity closes it when triggered. It closes into the frame so can't be pried open from the inside. A string runs along the top of the trap and then down to a "trigger" stick which has bait around it. Pig knocks stick when eating bait - door swings shut.
As you can see. Very inportant to have a roof.
