Installation is quick and easy, and the flip action door lock fastens to the door jamb with two screws. It’s a surface mount installation with no mortising required. Made of steel with a painted white finish, this door lock is strong and durable, sure to last the test of time.

So I went the rounds on other products before I settled on this simple solution that ultimately was the only one that met our need. The goal was to keep our 3 year old in our house. We were able to use doorknob covers for 2 of our external doors, but our patio door has a handle-type opener and couldn't accommodate a knob cover. The door also couldn't be converted to a knob due to the custom opener / deadbolt system that was installed.Our problem was that the door is slightly offset from the wall and other products proved to be too bulky to allow the door to function after installation. I briefly gave up on finding a solution, but my son later escaped and had to be chased by my wife for several blocks before she was able to catch him. (The boy gives new meaning to the term "stinker") I went back to the drawing board and found this product. I was pretty skeptical, as all of the other products that I had tried were far more complex and much more expensive.I was very pleased to find that the product worked great and installation was a 2 minute process. Now my son is safely contained to terrorize my wife in the comfort of our home and we no longer have to worry about him carrying committing acts of terrorism to the neighborhood at large. It has been several months and he hasn't gotten out yet. (well in all honesty, he did get out once, but that involved a perfect storm of chairs and broom handles and luck, and tiny devious ninja skills. We confiscated the ninja tools (broom handle) and he was back to being foiled. House, thy name is Alcatraz.Thank you for making a product that is as simple as it is effective.

I HAVE USED MANY. FOR A SMALL INTERIOR SECURITY LOCK, THEY DO A GREAT JOB

This lock is working well for me to keep my child from accidentally opening a basement door. There are some things to keep in mind, though.One, put this high. I just found out today that my two-year-old knows how to open it. I was holding him near the door to see if he could figure it out and he did. It's very easy to unlock this clasp, as you just have to push the plate slightly up while pulling it towards you. If a child can use a chair or something else to reach it, they could beat it. There's nothing he can move in my house that will let him even get close to reaching mine, though.Two, the screws that come with the product are junk, as has been stated. Even with little torque, mine both were eaten by the drill bit. I put two of my own in without a problem, though. Remember to keep the tiny little screw, though, if you ever want to permanently unlock the product. Me, I'll just remove it when it no longer serves a function, but it's good to have the option in case you need to leave it in place but don't want to bother with it all the time.Three, make your install easy. Close the door you're putting it on, hold it in place in the locked position, then open your door, put the lock up and screw it in. You'll want to actually see it in place before attaching it because if the plate can't lock into position, you'll have to take it down and screw it in all over again.So far, I'm glad I've gotten this rather than the plastic "globes" you put over doorknobs. When I first put this on, I forgot about it and tried opening the door and it stopped me. At that point, just to see, I tried opening it with more pressure and it held. Looks like it'll stop my kid even if he really tries to open the door.UPDATE April 12, 2012:I'm buying a second one tonight for my front door. This has worked out well for these past few months and kept the little one from being able to open the door to the basement, but he's now able to open the front door, so one is going there as well.

This device keeps my master bedroom door from being opened by my kids. I have a door knob lock, but they can pick the lock and open it! This device is not a security device, it only prevents someone from entering the room while you are still in it.Check your gap. When your door is closed and it is a tight fit...maybe less than 1/16" you may have to chisel some wood on your door jamb (frame) so that the device does NOT rub on your door when you close it. I traced around the shape of it and used a sharp chisel and slowly carved about 1/16" of wood out so that the device fit flush with the jamb. (My door is a very close fit with almost no gap at all). It was not difficult. I bought the white one to match my white trim and it definitely works. Make sure you are very very careful where you mount it. Do Not mount it for a tight fit on the door....if anything, leave 1/8" play so that the device latch can swing around and drop into place without you having to force it. Like I said, this only keeps your family out of the room that you are in...if someone leans in with force to push the door in, they can easily push the door in with their shoulder or by kicking it in. Excellent privacy device for a few bucks.

I’ve purchased three of these locks. The first one I bought back in 2019 works AMAZING! So I purchased another one of the same brand through Home Depot. It was defective and the paint was chipping off of it and getting everywhere! I returned it and purchased a third one from Amazon using the “buy again†feature. So same item, same vendor as the first one I bought in 2019. Well this one was so defective that it wouldn’t stay engaged to keep the door from being opened by my 2year old. The metal is flimsy and bends out when pulled on (by a 2 year old!). This makes it so the lock won’t engage even though it looks like it is engaged.Thank goodness I installed this defective one on my garage door and not my front door or my toddler could’ve run into to street!Buyer beware!!!Also, even though Amazon listed this as free returns when I bought it, I was unable to return it within the return window because the item is “currently unavailable “ on Amazon. So I’m SOL.Bad business!

The best, most reasonably priced solution we found for keeping our toddler safe. Easy to install. Easy to use. Simple but very effective.

Using it for babyproofing the house. Easy to install, small and discrete. Much more convenient than those big clunky handle guards. However, you do need to jiggle it a bit to flip it open. The mechanism is not very smoothe.Note: you can only use this on doors that swing towards you (ie. hallway closets, door to basement etc)

So easy to use, very secure. It not only keeps our toddler from escaping but it's added security to our home. I'm ordering another one for our back door tonight!

Easy to install and inexpensive. It is designed for ensuring privacy rather than security. I used it to lock a basement door connected to a rental legal suite. When it is removed, it only leaves two holes on the jamb, not on the door, and won't make the door looks ugly. The two included screws are quite small.
