Not perfect, but it works

Reviewed by MJ28, 2010-01-16

This product does prevent the door from being opened if the adhesive is correctly put on a clean surface. It's not the perfect product, however it does work. Here are some of my observations.

Pros:
Has a lock indicator to show if locked or unlocked (also color coded green=locked red=unlocked)
Adhesive- no hardware necessary. Very simple to install
Obvious (stands out) to any door - which is a good reminder to lock

Cons:
A bit pricey for such a simple design
Adhesive- can't remove and reuse without losing the adhesive-ability
Cannot lock/unlock from other side of the door
Lock and unlock is a manual process, so everyone that uses that door must remember to lock
Unattractive bulky design

Didn't work for me

This product would have been great if it would have fit our lever style door handles. The handle of our doors stuck out farther than the safety lock so it didn't stop it from turning. (Our handles seem to be the same as most others I have seen in homes.) Of course I only found this out after I had adheared it to the door and had to try to get it back off.

Great product!

This is a great product if you are looking to keep your toddler from opening a door in your home. I have no worries about my child opening doors with this lock on. It is easy to use and actually looks good.

Disappointed

Reviewed by Olivia N. Orth, 2009-08-17

My main disappointment with this lock is that the adhesive is not strong. My 2-year-old pulled it right off the door by hanging on it (she was trying to open the door, which of course is what it's supposed to prevent.)

Also, be aware that unlike traditional/round doorknob saftey latches, you have to lock it. To me this is not safe because everyone in your house may not remember to keep it locked. Also, once this latch is locked you can't open the door from the other side, so it really isn't any different than locking the door with a regular lock. Also, if you want to go into the garage, for example, without your toddler following, it's ineffective because you can't lock it from the other side, unless you buy one for each side.
